1633 Meadow Rd, Durango, CO 81301

Stunning, hand crafted mortise and tenon timber frame home built in 2017. The home features a open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, hickory hardwood floors throughout, wood burning stove, and custom touches everywhere you turn. Enjoy your private 3.7 acre lot that comes with a carport, chicken houses, green house, garden, 16x20 workshop, 12x16 shed. This property allows horses (setup would need to be completed), and has potential for a guest house to be built, vacation rental and enjoys "No HOA". The timber frame house gives the home a welcoming feel and the level of craftsmanship is evident throughout. The timbers are all joined using wood to wood joinery and special attention to detail was paid to the running of grain patterns and the blue stain coloration in the timbers and finish wood. In addition, half the timbers, trim, bookcase, and finish wood came from the property itself, while the rest of the timbers, siding, trim, and staircase were harvested in Mancos, CO. This is truly a locally sourced home from our beautiful surrounding area. The walls are highly insulated at R-31 and ceiling at R-51. The insulation combined with an energy efficient mini-split system will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summertime. The energy costs in the home are incredibly low due to the 2.5 KW ground mounted solar system. The 3/4 wrap around deck will give endless pleasure as you can watch the incredible eastern sunrise in the morning and wildlife behind the house in the evening. The bathrooms are complete with custom tile and the second bath offers a deep crawl foot tub for extended soaks. The metal and wood tread staircase leads to a large loft that has unlimited possibilities. The view down the valley from the large windows is special, as is the view looking back into the house from this vantage. The loft itself is hidden behind two large bookcase doors, allowing the studious ample space for their literature! The large, open kitchen allows the cook to spend time with their family and friends as they prepare meals, while the spacious bar invites guests to sit and chat. All appliances are stainless steel and were new with the house in 2018. The house sits on an insulated crawl space that is tall enough to stand in, giving easy access to all the mechanical systems, plumbing, and loads of storage. The water is on a well that has met the demands of the family of four living in the house now. The reverse osmosis water filter in the kitchen provides drinking water and the softened water extends the life of the appliances. Water taps are available if desired and the water would be provided from nearby Lake Durango and Lake Nighthorse. Lake Nighthorse is only 6 miles away, offering limitless lake recreation enjoyment, the La Plata Mountain Range is 12 miles offering hiking, cross country/backcountry skiing, and camping, and downtown Durango is 6 miles. The drive to all these locations have only one stop light.
