233 Kiva Rd, Durango, CO 81303

Just outside of Durango city limits and 1.5 miles from the Animas River Trail, this custom built adobe home by Greg Madeen offers the convenience of rural living with town accessibility on 14 private acres. Recent work includes installation of a 7.3kw solar system, an additional bay to the detached garage which includes an office and a full bathroom, both individually cooled and heated. A second 1000gal septic tank was added, and the leech field engineered to allow for 2 additional bedrooms to tie into the system. There is a 2nd building envelope and the HOA allows for a 2nd residence and does NOT prohibit short term rentals (VRBO). There is a community trail leading to fish or enjoy roughly 400' of gold medal Animas riverfront. On the main home, there is a ground level bedroom and new bathroom, both of which can be independently accessed from the rest of the home. Throughout the home, the stained concrete floors boast in floor heat, complimenting the passive adobe solar efficiency. The blue pine cabinets in the kitchen were custom built by Aaron Rogers and the bar top is supported by lightning struck aspen. Additional custom touches include finger groove designs and an eight layer willow branch ceiling in the master bedroom. Last, and of course but not least, soak in the panoramic views of the Animas river valley and the La Plata mountains from the rooftop hot tub. Internet is through FastTrack communications via direct line of sight satellite from a nearby fiber location. Owners currently pay $45/mo for ~11mbps, and have indicated options to move up to faster tiers, although they've worked from home with no connectivity issues. The HOA just approved installation of a gate on Kiva Rd and upgraded the community pumphouse with a new pump and pressure tank.
