See all the way from Durango town north to the San Juan Mountains, and take in a full view of the snow-capped LaPlatas from every room in this finely built Colorado contemporary-styled home. Over 3 acres of open space buffer the home from neighbors and city sounds. A private, gated road leads from the main road into the small subdivision, home to a few multi-acre estates that make up the Far View neighborhood.
Enter through lushly-landscaped grounds, featuring many native and ornamental plants carefully placed to take full advantage of the hillside setting. Large pines, aspens and other trees accent many flowers and flowering shrubs throughout the yard and patio entertaining areas. All are maintained through sprinklers and drip irrigation. A waterfall and pond provide a soothing atmosphere for the outdoor area, and the home’s bedrooms.
Outdoor patios have architectural covers, gas fire pits, grills, cook top and refrigerator. Built in rock seating adds to the natural setting.
The home is contemporary style, with 14” peeled log structural beams, accented by tall stone columns, and natural stone floors. The living room features a wall of windows built to catch the 270 degree views, and access to a large deck, perfect for viewing town and nature at its finest. Sunsets are an event and cocktails and dinner on the deck, or in the main dining room, are an exceptional experience. Enjoy dinner preparation in the updated, open kitchen featuring top end appliances and granite and hammered copper countertops and sink beautifully coordinated with slab granite countertops. Guests can relax at the large bar area and take in the scenic views while keeping the cook company. Dinner is served in an open dining area, complete with built-in buffet, and copper countertops for your serving area. A walk-in pantry and extra storage room off the kitchen provide plenty of space for any special appliances or supplies.
A cozy den with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace sits just off the living room, and an artistically-appointed guest bath, with shower, complete the first floor.
Bedrooms are on the lower level, each with access to the outdoor living areas and with full views. The master and one other bedroom have walk-in closets, and a third bedroom features a large built in desk/work area. A utility room with extra closets and storage space complete the lower level. Finally, an over-sized, attached three car garage with guest parking provide room for car and “toy” storage.
Far View Estates is located on a rim overlooking Durango, only 3 minutes to all Fort Lewis College events, and only 5 minutes to all Durango’s amenities. It is in La Plata County and has lower taxes and less restrictions than city properties. Owners maintain the private, gated road via a homeowner’s association.
Offered at: $1,800,000
