Perched above Lake Nighthorse, this exceptional residence captures sweeping, unobstructed views of Durango, the La Plata Mountains, and the San Juan range. Set on over 43 acres along a prominent ridgeline, the 4,397-square-foot contemporary home is thoughtfully positioned to take in both sunrise and sunset, offering a rare balance of privacy, scale, and convenience—just 20 minutes from town. Clean architectural lines, vaulted ceilings, and expansive walls of glass define the main level, framing the surrounding landscape and filling the interiors with natural light. Living and dining areas open seamlessly to a covered terrace designed for year-round enjoyment, creating a refined indoor-outdoor living experience. The kitchen is both striking and functional, featuring richly veined granite surfaces, custom cabinetry, and a substantial island with integrated cooktop and seating. A Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and full suite of Wolf appliances are complemented by a built-in Miele espresso system. Additional elements include double wall ovens, a dedicated pantry/prep area, and an alkaline purified water system. The sink is positioned to capture uninterrupted mountain views. Just off the main living area, a wet bar with a pass-through window to the terrace supports effortless entertaining. The primary suite is privately situated on the main level, oriented toward the views with direct outdoor access. The spa-inspired bath features an aromatherapy jetted tub, walk-in steam shower, quartz surfaces with integrated underlighting, and an electric smart toilet with bidet. An adjoining office provides a quiet, light-filled workspace with expansive vistas. A flexible room on the main level offers versatility for fitness, wellness, or recreation. The lower level includes a secondary living area with walk-out access, a kitchenette with refrigeration, and continued mountain views. Two guest bedrooms and a full bath provide comfortable separation for visitors. Outdoor living centers on the covered terrace, where steel and wood architectural elements, integrated lighting, and multiple gathering areas create an exceptional setting for dining and relaxation. The grounds are thoughtfully designed with native stone, sculpted pathways, and manicured artificial turf for a refined, low-maintenance environment. A horseshoe pit and open recreation areas are positioned to take full advantage of the setting. A circular drive and expanded parking areas accommodate larger gatherings in addition to the three-car garage. Systems include forced-air heating and air conditioning, a spacious laundry room with utility sink and storage, and a central water system supported by a 1,000-gallon reserve tank. Integrated Sonos audio enhances the experience throughout the home. A rare offering defined by its commanding setting, exceptional views, and refined architectural presence. The current home owners insurance policy is $4,800 and property taxes are $8,050 (Zillow is Not Correct).
