862 Rainbow Rd, Durango, CO 81303

Perched above the Animas River valley just minutes from downtown Durango, this 15 acre property is the Colorado homestead you’ve been dreaming of. The home is a charming 3 bed 2 bath home that encompasses 1660 SqFt across two levels with tons of recent updates. Sitting just up the hill from the valley bottom, the home is entered from a covered porch and deck that wraps around to the back yard. The porch has new pro-panel roofing and custom railing, giving you the perfect spot to enjoy the amazing western views and colorful sunsets that SW Colorado is known for. Once entering, you walk into the great room of the home which combines the living room, kitchen and dining area into one functional space. The kitchen has been completely renovated with custom countertops and open shelving in addition to brand new stainless steel appliances and a large island. The high ceilings and multiple windows create a bright and inviting space that is kept toasty in the winter by the wood burning stove, in addition to the in-floor heat. Just down the hall from the great room you find a full bath that has recent updates along with two bedrooms and the laundry area which has new stainless units on the main level. Beyond this space are the stairs to the upper level, at the top of the landing is an awesome office space with western facing windows that provide tons of sunlight and views out over the river valley making it the perfect work from home spot. Down the hall from the office you find the primary suite complete with more western facing windows, a large walk in closet and full bath. Heading back outside of the home to enjoy the seclusion and privacy of the 15 acres, you have an oversized 3 car detached garage, which along with the entire exterior of the home has been repainted, in addition to the attached carport giving you plenty of space to store all your vehicles and recreational toys. Continuing on past the garage you head up the drive to find a large plateau that has a garden, greenhouse and large chicken coop that has new solar powered lighting and electric fencing. Close to this area is a second septic system that was previously used for a mobile home that was removed from the property which gives you the opportunity to create a full hookup RV pad. One of the most unique features of the property is the fresh water spring the property has rights to and is the primary source of water. You have rights to 500 gallons of water per day that currently fill a cistern which services the house. This water is also used to water the garden as well as 12 new trees and full season perennial flowers that have been planted, 8 of which are mature fruit trees including plum, apricot, and apple. With some much to offer, this idyllic homestead is an opportunity unlike any other.
