Originally $1,135,000 and now priced at $949,500 - Bright & Airy Mountain Retreat in Forest Groves Estates, a beautiful, quiet neighborhood on the Florida River. Nestled in an old-growth forest beside a mountain creek, this nearly 4,000 sq. ft. custom home offers the perfect get away for second-home owners or those seeking a vacation-ready home. From the entryway, the openness of the great room draws your eye out to the trees, up to vaulted ceilings with skylights, and across the airy loft above. The primary suite is spacious and light, with a private jetted tub and shower room alongside the vanity and toilet area. The kitchen is designed for gathering— with abundant counters, cabinets, and a breakfast nook looking out over the forest. Beyond is a large pantry/utility room with counters and cabinets, the washer/dryer, storage, and access to the two-car garage. Upstairs, the loft includes a sunny office nook with a view, a large bedroom with double closets and a full bath, plus a comfortable guest room with oversized closet—ideal for visiting friends and family. In 2010, a 900 sq. ft. ADA-compliant Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) was added, offering cathedral ceilings, skylights, a full kitchen, oversized bedroom, living room, and sunny sitting area. With private laundry and two ramps for access, it’s perfectly suited for multi-generational living, caretaker quarters, or long-term guests. Outdoor living is a highlight here: enjoy morning coffee on the creek side deck, evenings under star-filled skies, and year-round relaxation on the covered porch. Low-maintenance xeriscape landscaping ensures this is a true lock-and-leave second home, while still celebrating the changing seasons with colorful flowers and shrubs. The home is located in the quiet, secluded Forest Groves Estates neighborhood, just a calming 20 minutes drive from downtown Durango. The HOA ($160/month) covers water, central sewer, trash/recycling, road maintenance, and access to Treasure Island, a private riverside amenity for owners. Lovingly maintained by its original owner, this home is more than a residence—it’s a mountain sanctuary designed for relaxation, gathering, and creating memories.
