Welcome to Twilight Mountain Retreat, a spacious 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath Durango mountain home offering more than 4,100 square feet on a wooded acre just 5 minutes from Purgatory Ski Resort and approximately 20 minutes from downtown Durango. Set along the desirable Highway 550 corridor in the Animas Valley, the property captures direct views of the dramatic red cliffs and surrounding San Juan Mountain scenery, while mature trees, frequent wildlife and a seasonal creek create a peaceful Colorado setting. Inside, the home's generous two-story floor plan provides exceptional flexibility with the potential for three distinct living areas, making it ideal for a large family, multigenerational living, extended guests, home offices or a second-home retreat where everyone has their own space. The full primary suite offers a comfortable private retreat with an ensuite bath, while four additional bedrooms and multiple bathrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests. Expansive living and gathering areas, abundant natural light and numerous windows take advantage of the surrounding mountain setting and create comfortable spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. The finished walkout lower level features its own separate entrance, creating an excellent setup for private guest or in-law quarters and adding another layer of versatility to the home. An attached garage provides additional space for vehicles, storage and all the gear that comes with mountain living. Outside, enjoy the wooded acre, red cliff and mountain views, seasonal creek and wildlife, all with the added freedom of no HOA, covenants or restrictive association. The location puts some of Southwest Colorado's best recreation practically at your doorstep, including skiing and snowboarding at Purgatory Resort, National Forest access, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, mountain lakes and year-round San Juan Mountain adventures. Whether you're searching for a large Durango home, multigenerational property, Colorado second home, ski-area residence or mountain retreat, Twilight Mountain Retreat combines substantial living space, privacy, flexibility, Animas Valley scenery and outstanding access to both Purgatory and downtown Durango. Schedule your private tour and experience the setting and possibilities for yourself.
