47 Electra Lake Rd, Durango, CO 81301

One of a kind property! The Historic "Rapp House" log cabin built in 1948 has been recently renovated to offer modern luxury, convenience and amenities while retaining its classic mountain and historic charm. This home has 5 possible bedrooms, 3 updated bathrooms, forced air heat and air conditioning. Relax in the comfortable living room with an impressive rock fireplace and T&G ceilings. The completely renovated kitchen features stainless appliances and modern updates such as a stainless steal work counter, yet retains character with the original "Great Majestic" 6 burner wood stove. Cook a mountain feast in luxury! Fabulous cliff views and wrap around deck add to the ambiance. The cabin sits on over 3 prime Animas Valley acres (wood cross fenced) and offers plenty of room to explore. Enjoy the 3 tranquil spring fed ponds as well as a hot tub, and fire pit. There is a detached garage with workshop, and a separate storage/stall area with history built into it as well (bits of the old Durango fairgrounds). A Huge plus for this properties location, besides the PRIME location, is the very easy year round access. No long dirt road or steep drive to contend with. The historic cabin is only 5 miles from Purgatory (Durango Mountain Resort) and 19 miles from historic downtown Durango. The cabin sits at the entrance to Electra Lake, perhaps one of the most extraordinary lakes in all of the mountain west. You can enjoy boating, fishing, paddle boarding, hiking, or dining on the lake in a historic sporting club built in 1928. Once you get to the lake, the views over the lake and mountains are breathtaking! Haviland Lake is also a short 5 minute drive. The area surrounding the home is called Lakewood Meadows, and it’s appropriately named for it’s beautiful wildflower meadows, incredible mountain and Hermosa Cliffs views. The Rapp House would make an exceptional primary or second home (with income potential if desired). Current owner has verifiable documentation of rental history from times when not in their use (30k a year). This is a popular destination!
