No showings prior to the Grand Open House on Friday, January 2nd from 3–5 PM. Please do not trespass. Tucked away off the beaten path yet just minutes from town, this rare Colorado mountain retreat offers privacy, flexibility, and exceptional income potential on 10+ private acres with sweeping La Plata Mountain views. The 4-bedroom, 3-bath custom log home has been thoughtfully maintained and designed for full-time living, a luxury second home, or a high-performing short-term rental. Inside, the open and functional layout features a dining area that comfortably seats eight plus additional pub-style seating, a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops and newer stainless-steel appliances, hardwood floors throughout the second level, and updated bathrooms. Two upper-level primary suites each include full baths & mountain views. The lower level offers two additional bedrooms, a shared bathroom with tub, full-size laundry room, HVAC, and a private sauna seating up to six- perfect for post-adventure relaxation. Adding exceptional value is the detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU), offering two bedrooms, one bathroom, full kitchen, living room, and laundry. Ideal for guests, caretakers, multigenerational living, or additional rental income, the ADU provides rare versatility and privacy. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with a wraparound deck and hot tub overlooking the mountains, perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings under the stars. The property is surrounded by mature aspens, fruit trees, abundant wildlife, a tranquil fish pond, and a peaceful meditation garden, creating a true mountain sanctuary. Additional features include a one-car garage, covered parking, storage shed, ample additional parking, and easy year-round access. The exterior log construction has been professionally maintained with regular chinking and staining, reflecting true pride of ownership. Located approximately 8 miles from Historic Downtown Durango, 34 miles from Purgatory Ski Resort, and close to world-class hiking, biking, fishing, rafting, and skiing, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. With approximately $70k in gross rental income reported in 2025, no HOA, and no restrictive covenants, this is a rare opportunity to own a mountain retreat, income-producing vacation rental, or private family compound in Southwest Colorado (without limitations on use or monthly dues).
