Luxury living only 5 minutes from downtown. When searching for a luxury home in Durango, as in most mountain communities, there’s often a stark conundrum when it comes to location, views and setting. Rural areas often offer the most dramatic views, and immediate access to the mountain lifestyle many are seeking, while in-town locations offer convenience and access to community amenities, often at the expense of the other considerations. This home is the rare exception. It offers extraordinary views of the stunning red cliffs of the signature and most memorable view corridor in the Durango area, the exquisite Animas River Valley. It’s perched high on a hillside overlooking the valley where the area’s primary watershed glassily meanders through a pastoral and mountainous setting so beautiful it often is the indelible scenic image seared into the most pleasant memories of Durango’s visitors and residents alike. The covered patio overhanging the valley floor feels as if it’s miles from anywhere, vistas framed among tall pine trees, and yet this luxury residence is a less than a mile from one of some of Durango’s favorite and most sought after in-town amenities, not least of which is the bakery “Bread,” which has been featured in numerous publications as a must-visit destination in Durango. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac in Timberline Estates, this home is truly the best of both (all) worlds. It offers in-town convenience and easy accessibility to restaurants, shopping, schools and other area amenities, while simultaneously living perched at the edge of nature’s threshold. Acclaimed builder Sandford Gray constructed the home to benefit from its extraordinarily ideal setting, incorporating bountiful outdoor living spaces, a private hot tub area, and plentiful large windows to bring the outside-in as much as possible. The kitchen was completely remodeled by the current owner, who is a professional chef and nutritionist. In doing so she created both the kitchen of her dreams, and one that likely will impress even the most discerning culinary enthusiast. The open floorplan flows from the kitchen through the great room with its high vaulted aspen tongue and groove ceilings and natural stone fireplace. Openness and light are the calling cards of the home’s interior, along with its commensurate luxury finishes such as cherry cabinetry, granite surfaces, solid ash flooring, recessed lighting, Beam central vacuum system, radiant in-floor heat with multiple zones, alarm and fire detection system, surround sound and stone accents. It’s perfect for entertaining, for bigger families, or those that desire to accommodate out of town visitors, and additionally has a large bonus room ideally suited for a playroom, workout facility or media space. The floorplan is designed with separation and privacy considerations often lacking in other homes, including master and guest suite areas separated from other sleeping areas, and an attached sitting room in the master bedroom (which could also be a great nursery, additional office, yoga studio, etc). A private office is situated away from the primary gathering spaces in the home with built-in cherry cabinetry. A four-car garage will fit all of the toys for your area adventures, or provide shop space if desired, and it has its own half bath. This is the perfect epicenter of the ultimate Durango lifestyle in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with easy access to trails, downtown, and the ski resort.
