53 Saddle Ln, Durango, CO 81301

The true Colorado experience can be enjoyed at this home. Surrounded by national forest service land and 940 acres of forest and meadows within the subdivision, this community prides itself on blending nature with structures. Ownership in Falls Creek also comes with a private forty acre community lake, horse stables with pastures (additional cost), and tennis courts. You can easily hike some of Durangos most pristine trail systems from your house. The subdivision has their own fire station, and expansive mitigation. The current owners have completely remodeled the home since purchasing. The large ceilings have exposed beams making the rustic Colorado feel come to life, but has modern fixtures and paint to make it still feel light and bright throughout. The main suite has a private walk out deck, a large suited bathroom with a walk in shower and soaking tub, with dual copper sinks. There is a nice entertainment room (black out curtains and surround sound) , gym, living room and formal dining area separated by a modern see-thru fireplace. The main level rounds out with a large kitchen, with an eat in bar, dining area, and nice appliances, as well as a nice sitting/reading room that can also be used as an office. Downstairs there are three other bedrooms (one is currently used as the office), two bathrooms, and an absolutely gorgeous guest suite that has its own private entrance. The laundry area is very large, which is nice for additional storage, items you want to keep on a tile floor, etc. The exterior of the home is low maintenance stucco and has ample deck and patio space. The garage is two cars wide and VERY deep with a wood stove and workshop area. You can easily fit three smaller vehicles, two regular, and still have plenty of room. Outside also has a nice flat gravel parking area currently used for a camper. This home has been very well taken care of, and bright even on cloudy days. This is a beautiful place to live and has easy access to middle, and high school without having to drive through downtown Durango. Enjoy your drive to and from town- all times of the year. The landscape is also very low maintenance, making it a nice option if someone is searching for a summer retreat. The lake has boat storage, SUP, kayak, beach area.. you name it! The septic system has already been inspected, and follows all san juan basin health requirements.
