Property Description

Red rock cliffs frame the horizon to the west of the Tripp Creek Farmhouse located within the Animas River valley just 10 minutes north of Durango. This historic 1890 estate once served as a stagecoach stop between Durango and Silverton before becoming the original Hermosa post office. The owner has meticulously created a balance of modern living comfort and outdoor paradise. With air conditioning for comfortable summer living and in-floor radiant heat for the colder months, the home is designed for year-round comfort. The house sits proudly on a generous 1-acre lot, providing ample space for outdoor living within a Park-like setting. Offered fully furnished, this turnkey home sits under massive silver maples, blue spruce, aspens, and heirloom apple, pear, and cherry trees that attract wild turkey and mule deer. Expanded and remodeled, the kitchen/dining/living great room contains slate tile floors with in-floor radiant heat that stretches across an open floor plan anchored by huge, exposed timber beams. The kitchen features exposed brick walls, a stone apron sink, a breakfast nook, an oversized island and a blue LaCanche gas range/oven imported directly from France. Numerous windows and a pair of remote-controlled skylights allow both cool air and natural light to filter through this beautiful living space throughout the day. From this great room/main living area, a Dutch door opens to a stone patio with a built-in outdoor kitchen containing a gas grill and wood-fired pizza oven within a covered dining space. You can dine at a traditional redwood table or an elevated bar table that has a natural gas fire-pit center feature, all while enjoying the view of the backyard. Off the front/main entry, an open parlor room contains a full-sized shuffleboard and gaming table. The main-floor primary master bedroom suite includes a clawfoot soaking tub, walk-in glass shower, custom walk-in closet, and a private exit directly to the covered outdoor hot tub. A bonus feature of the home is the self-contained Carriage House suite upstairs, which can be accessed via its own private exterior entrance. This independent living space includes a dedicated kitchen, full bathroom, private elevated deck access, and a sofa that converts it into a temprapedic queen bed. The full acre property includes a stone-bordered pond, raised garden beds, meticulous landscaping, flagstone fire pit and a large treehouse nestled within one of the 100+ year old silver maple trees. The backyard also contains an irrigation canal that doubles as a creek and has a charming walking bridge connecting to an oversized RV parking pad. On the east side of the house there is a large fenced-in area for dogs, ensuring you can safely keep them contained when needed. The oversized two-car garage features an epoxy-finished flooring with extended depth for outdoor gear kept in either the storage closets or shelving space. Keeping with the pioneer tradition, there is a large basement, which could be used as an office, along with a custom cedar wine cellar and a separate vegetable cellar accessed from the kitchen nook floor. Here is an opportunity for your family to own a piece of history, while making lasting memories for your future generations to come.
