Property Description
Enjoy Colorado living on three private, gated acres in the Rafter J subdivision, just 10 minutes from downtown Durango. Perched on a wooded hillside to capture expansive mountain views and abundant passive solar light, this home features a dramatic two-story wall of windows, wrap-around decking on three sides, and the peace and privacy of a fully fenced property. A dramatic great room with a soaring two-story cathedral ceiling and abundant natural light anchors the home's interior. The adjoining kitchen offers a Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher, a center island, new maple cabinetry, and flooring, with both bar seating and an adjacent dining area. Recessed lighting and ceiling fans are found throughout the home. The main level includes two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath with double vanity, a separate office, an additional full bath, a large laundry/mechanical room, and an expansive recreation room. Custom built-in shelving and cabinetry, track lighting, an attached half bath, and generous square footage make this an ideal space for a media room, game room, fitness area, or other uses. Upstairs, the loft-style primary suite overlooks the great room below and showcases breathtaking mountain views in three directions. A large walk-in closet and spacious five-piece bath complete the suite. The fully finished walk-out basement offers a large sitting room, a full bath, and an additional finished bonus room with theater potential. Additional features include two attached single-car garages (one double deep and the other traditional two car), an attached carport, and ample parking. Outside, a large level area provides space for recreation and play, while a second level site near the roughed-in driveway offers excellent potential for a future art studio, workshop, or additional outbuilding. Properties offering this combination of gated acreage, mountain views, privacy, and proximity to Durango are rare. Some photos contain virtually staged furnishings.
