Gabi Bergstrom, RE/MAX Pinnacle, C: 970-946-7522, , Perched on 22.19 acres with unobstructed, sweeping views of the La Plata Mountains, this 3,561 sq. ft. custom residence offers the rare balance of privacy, artistry, and modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, the thoughtfully landscaped grounds with custom outdoor metalwork by Durango artisan Jeff Wise, hand-crafted details, and warm Southwestern architecture make it clear this is a truly special property. The 3027 main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with expansive windows framing the mountains as the backdrop to the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas. A gas fireplace with a carved mantle anchors the great room, complemented by hand-hewn Hickory wide-plank flooring, art niches, and custom plaster accent wall and fireplace. The dining area features a striking new contemporary chandelier and access to the backyard, where the sellers recently added a covered deck and new railing, and hot tub. A stone-bench fire pit perfect setting for evening gatherings under the stars. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with a massive island, pantry, and upgrades including granite countertops, backsplash, new sinks, and floating shelves. Stainless appliances, a Dacor gas cooktop, and double ovens make this space as functional as it is beautiful. The main level is thoughtfully divided for comfort and privacy. Off the kitchen are two spacious guest bedrooms, each with blackout shades, that share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom featuring Onyx tile, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, hand-forged lighting, and a dramatic underlit Onyx sink. A cozy family room nearby provides the perfect spot for TV, games, or relaxation with access to the outdoors. On the opposite side of the home, behind the great room, is the private primary suite with direct patio access, stunning mountain views, dual closets, blackout shades, double sinks, a jetted tub, and a walk-in shower with custom tile work. Down the hall, you’ll also find the powder room with a custom copper sink, along with the office/library highlighted by a hand-carved bookcase and wide-plank wood floors. Additional recent upgrades extend to mini-split systems for air conditioning and heating in the bedrooms and living room, fresh interior paint, new garage doors, and blackout window coverings. The in-floor radiant heating system heats the main level, while downstairs features hot water baseboards. On the lower level, discover over 1,000 sq. ft. of versatile space: a two-car garage with in-floor radiant heating, a heated pottery/craft studio, a workshop, and a utility room. An additional 534 sq. ft. gym with hardwood floors underneath the rubber mats and an infrared sauna (included) is accessed from the exterior, offering a retreat for health and wellness. The gym could be also a great office or art studio. The outdoor spaces are a showpiece of their own, blending natural rock work, iron accents, and xeriscaping. An artistic 160 sq. ft. garden shed with handcrafted doors, carved wood posts, and a covered porch adds charm while providing practical storage. Every detail of this residence reflects the influence of fine artistry and craftsmanship. Inspired by Nicolai Fechin and the Taos Builders, and realized with heirloom-quality pieces by the Ernest Thompson Company, the home is both functional and a work of art. Whether hosting friends, pursuing creative passions, or simply soaking in the ever-changing panorama of the La Plata Mountains, this Trappers Crossing estate offers a lifestyle of serenity and inspiration just minutes from downtown Durango.
