Property Description

Set on 4.65 scenic acres at the entrance to the iconic La Plata Canyon, this unique property at 4462 County Road 124 in Hesperus offers a rare blend of history, charm, and mountain living. Originally built as a hunting lodge in 1955, the 3180 SF main home backs directly to National Forest, placing thousands of acres of wilderness right at your doorstep. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with sweeping views of the La Plata Mountains and the peaceful meadows that surround the property. Just below the home, the La Plata River meanders through the valley, offering tranquil river views and direct access for fishing, exploring, or simply soaking in the sound of running water. The main residence is full of character, featuring warm cedar siding, abundant natural light, and distinctive architectural details — including a custom stone “mine shaft” hallway that leads to the lower level. The home is equipped with efficient hydronic in-floor radiant heat, providing consistent warmth and comfort throughout. An open floor plan connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating a welcoming space ideal for gatherings, while multiple bedrooms offer flexible living options for family, guests, or a home office. Adding even more versatility, a separate two-bedroom guest house, built in 1990, includes its own garage, making it perfect for multi-generational living or rental potential. A spacious 30 x 60 heated metal workshop with 12 ton lift provides ample room for an RV, equipment, or recreational gear, while a detached garage adds even more storage and workspace. The land itself offers room to garden on the grounds or using the attached greenhouse, keep horses, or simply enjoy the peace and beauty of the outdoors. With year-round access via a county-maintained road and just a short drive from Durango, this retreat offers both seclusion and convenience. Best of all, the property consists of four separate parcels, presenting a range of opportunities for future development, investment, or personal use. The property has water rights on the La Plata River which allows for irrigation of gardens and lawn. This is Colorado living at its finest — where history, nature, and lifestyle come together in perfect balance.
