Property Description

A private cabin tucked beneath a seasonal natural waterfall, surrounded by whispering aspens and framed by sweeping San Juan views. This is the kind of setting buyers chase but rarely find, where raw Colorado beauty meets opportunity to expand and create something even more extraordinary. At this property, the lifestyle advantages are taken even further. Twelve private acres back directly into the San Juan National Forest, creating an unforgettable high-alpine backdrop with privacy, views, and immediate access to outdoor adventure. The premium parcel is improved with a fully remodeled luxury cabin featuring modern upgrades and high-end fit and finish. With no HOA and no covenants, the opportunities here are vast. Renovated from top to bottom in 2022, the 1,550 square foot mountain home is warm, inviting, and move-in ready. The interior offers two bedrooms plus a large bonus flex room, ideal for a bunk room, office, gear room, or additional sleeping space. An open-concept main living area is anchored by a stone fireplace and complemented by vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and tile flooring designed to resemble wood while offering durability and easy maintenance. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas and features granite countertops, updated cabinetry, and a layout designed for entertaining after a day in the mountains. A renovated full bathroom and main-level laundry provide comfort and convenience for year-round living. Outdoor living truly sets this property apart. A low-maintenance composite deck creates the perfect space for gathering, complete with an exterior fireplace ideal for morning coffee, sunset dinners, and star-filled nights overlooking the valley, with the San Juan Mountains as the backdrop. There is ample parking for toys, trailers, RVs, motorhomes, and off-road vehicles, making this property exceptionally well-suited for an adventure-driven lifestyle. With multiple potential building sites, the land also offers long-term versatility. Build a primary residence while keeping the cabin as a guest house, create a multi-structure mountain compound, or explore future development options through La Plata County planning. The property is zoned Large Lot Residential with a three-acre minimum lot size, with any subdivision subject to county approval. Practical features include a domestic well, septic system, LPEA electric service, propane baseboard heat, a durable metal roof, and a built-in backup generator, a valuable upgrade for mountain reliability. Located just 25 minutes from downtown Durango, this property offers both seclusion and convenience. Whether you are searching for a mountain cabin, a Colorado retreat on acreage, a no-HOA property, or a potential short-term rental near Purgatory, The King Cabin delivers the setting, lifestyle, and flexibility today's buyers are seeking.
