If you have been looking for an equestrian estate in Southwest Colorado, look no further... The 105 acre 5 L Ranch is the perfect horse property for those looking for "everything" literally within 10 minutes of downtown Durango.
Hand-peeled 12-14" logs compliment the over 6,000+ sq. ft. of living space in this one of a kind custom residence. The open spaces and oversized rooms accommodate even the largest of family gatherings and social events. A total of 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths each with their own unique finishes, outdoor covered porches and main level master are a few highlights for discerning buyers.
The master bedroom has exposed wood beams, river rock stone fireplace with gas start, French doors leading to the private patio and a master bathroom with dual shower, jetted tub and his and hers closets and sinks.
The great room has three story windows looking out to the snowcapped 13,000 ft. La Plata Mountains and pristinely kept grounds. Big exposed skip peeled logs with recessed directional lighting give a sense of scale and massiveness to the refined yet rustic appeal.
The home is "smart wired" with a state-of-the-art security and phone system, as well as music/entertainment system throughout. A private gated, skip peeled "block" log entryway with keypad is welcoming as your enter the property from Highway 160.
Landscaping is established and offers an assortment of brilliant hues of reds, purples, greens and yellows against the mountain backdrop. Hand-laid flagstone walkways escort you from the gardens to the back patio and bar-b-que area.
A babbling year-round brook is fed by Sheep Springs and ultimately pours into the natural pond below the arena. This serves as a sanctuary for local herds of deer, elk and birds of prey.
In 2005, the owners started construction of the 5-stall horse facilities. This project was completed over an 18-month period, as it was constructed in both old-world design and methods, including mortis and tenon joinery with no metal brackets anywhere. This gives the barn a feeling of true workmanship and history. The trophy and saddle room was designed to trap cool air in the summer months and provide a relaxing environment for reading or napping after a long day in the saddle. This room in the barn is 5 to 10 degrees cooler then the outdoor temperature in warmer weather. To access the loft/hay storage area upstairs, specially designed steps with cowboy boot cutouts and trapdoor keep the flavor fun and laidback. Each of the stalls measures 13'X13' in size with dual openings into hallway or the paddock area.
Added in 2008, a competition style roping arena complete with release & timer and turnouts was constructed below the horse barn on a level bench. Take in the impressive views of the La Plata Mountains while trying to beat your best time in the saddle.
In addition to the sculpted acreage on the property, there is access to 1,500+ acres of Division of Wildlife Lands for horseback and pedestrian uses. This access is just a mile or so up the ranch road and provides numerous opportunities for exploration, relaxation and taking in the views of the surrounding mountains.
With over 105 acres of prime Southwestern Colorado real estate, you will feel the comfort of total privacy, yet assurance being only 10 minutes to town, shopping, dining and gold medal fishing on the waters of the Animas River. This is a truly remarkable opportunity in our area and one that is sure not to last. Don't miss this!
Price: $3,400,000 or $3,500,000 fully furnished
