Situated at the base of Hermosa Mountain, this remarkable, park-like setting in the heart of the stunning AnimasValley is a rare find. The 2,600 sf home sits at the northwest corner of the property, which provides ultimate privacy and views of the entire 5+ acres, including a 1/4 acre pond, fruit orchard, and irrigatedyard and meadow. The property is kept green all summer long by four shares of the Animasditch and .11 cfs of the Hermosa ditch, both of which flow through the property. With outstanding views surrounding you and direct National Forest access, this is truly a special property. The home lives very comfortably with multiple living areas, in-floor heat, oak woodwork throughout, several outdoor living areas, and an attached two car garage. The spacious living room features a south facing wall of windows that overlook the pond and provide great passive solar exposure in the winter months. There are numerous dining options with a built-in dining nook just off the kitchen, bar seating for 3-4 barstools, and a formal dining area just off the kitchen. The kitchen itself has newer stainless steel appliances and saltillo tile flooring. The private master suite is located on the upper level and includes a separate home office area that could potentially be used as a fourth bedroom. The master bath has dual vanities, a jetted tub and separate shower, and a walk-in closet. The lower level family room makes a great hangout for teenagers, or makes for a private retreat for your guests. Separate from the home, there is a 24'x72' Morton building with 100 amp electrical service and a 30'x30' metal Aztec building with 50 amp service. Both are perfect for storing collectible cars, an RV, boat, or other recreational vehicles. This property would be suitable for animals as well, so bring your horses, pigs, goats, sheep, and chickens. In the immediate vicinity you will find Durango Hot Springs Resort, Dalton Ranch Golf Club, PJ's Gourmet Market, and multiple dining options, and downtown Durango and Purgatory Resort are just 15 minutes away making this an absolutely unbeatable location. This is a truly spectacular, one-of-a-kind property that is not to be missed!
