Stunning La Plata mountain views, energy efficiency & space to breathe — This southwest-style retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy, sustainability, and artisan craftsmanship on 35 peaceful acres. Designed for energy efficiency, the home features 14-inch thick insulated concrete walls (ICF construction) for exceptional thermal performance and quiet. Solar panels tied into the LPEA grid spin the meter backward, significantly reducing utility costs. Water is provided by Lake Durango with an additional permitted well, and a seven-zone underground sprinkler system supports the fruit trees, flower gardens, and existing and potential garden spaces. The residence offers 2,661 square feet of living space, including 3 bedrooms and a professionally converted garage that now serves as an ideal media room or can be used for remote work or creative pursuits. Beautiful Santa Fe inspired kitchen with full size freezer and fridge, trash compactor, Saltillo tile flooring, custom stained glass window and kiva fireplace with electric blower. With primary bedroom suites on both floors, multiple flexible-use spaces for offices or recreation, and eleven closets for abundant storage, the floor plan supports a wide range of lifestyles. Artisan details are found throughout the home, including hand-forged stair rails, cabinet handles, light fixtures, and other custom metalwork by local artists. Covered porches, patios, and a pergola offer inviting spaces to relax outdoors and take in the sweeping views from the property’s 7,450-foot elevation. Additional improvements include a 36-foot by 48-foot heated shop with 220 power and two 12-foot by 18-foot storage rooms, an irrigated greenhouse with electricity, PV solar system, 25-foot by 65 foot dog run, an equipment shed, and an wood shed. The shop’s main interior space measures 36 by 36 feet with potential to convert into garage use, while the front covered area provides a carport option. This home is a rare offering that combines thoughtful sustainability, inspired design, and a peaceful setting—just a quick drive into Durango. Be sure to view the 3D virtual tour to fully appreciate the layout and handcrafted features throughout. RV connection to the septic in case you have friends visiting with the camper. 21 minutes door to door to downtown Durango.
