Rarely does a home with such exquisite attention to detail, make itself available to the marketplace. Your experience starts as you wind up the driveway, pass through the private gate and round the turn, this home greets you with its quiet splendor. Walk along the path to the entry and take in the gardens and private patio shielded by the pergola as the sound from the fountain beckons you to the hand carved front door. As you discover all this home has to offer, you will note every room has a vision of beauty to the outdoors. Enter to a graciously curved wall and a hanging fountain, follow the timbers and meander into the warm and inviting living room, taking in the La Plata mountains in full view, from every angle. The fireplace graces across an entire stone wall architected with Idaho shale and Texas stone, with special fossils, millions of years old, nestled into the impressive stone structure. Move from the Living Room into the office/study with access to the entertainment systems along with a wall of built-ins for efficient, orderly office use, masqueraded by elegantly inlaid walnut giving dimension to the beech wood cabinets. A set of doors to the exterior patio also let the La Plata's sing their soulful song with natural beauty. The kitchen is a cook's dream with full wall cabinetry custom designed with accent lighting, induction range top with downdraft system, warming drawer and another wall of windows making "doing the dishes" worth fighting over. As your eyes continue to graze across the timber framing, rest your gaze on the masterfully designed dining room with the most special of lights, gently spilling its warm glow and offering a quiet, elegant ambience for your dinner parties. Also accentuated by the stone wall, a treasure awaits with a complete "hidden" cabinet masquerading as artwork. Even the powder room impresses with a full amethyst vessel nestled on a floating cabinet, both accentuated by hanging pendants and specially designed mirror. As you continue to glide across the Brazilian slate floors towards the master suite, take in the craftsmanship of the entry and master bedroom doors from the prestigious Seret and Sons Gallery in Santa Fe. The Master puts you in the lap of luxury, from the cherry floors, to the window-scaping offering full La Plata mountain views, with full access to the private flagstone patio. Walk outside, have your senses caressed with plush landscaping and a path to the solar heated exterior shower and hot tub. All this while sheltered under the pergola, offering additional privacy and shelter from the afternoon sun's rays. The master en-suite graces with bronze sinks and fixtures, long expanses of granite, limestone tile floors, dual closets and a surprise hidden meditation room above with additional storage for luggage and seasonal clothing. Find yourself drawn to an intimate room, with soaking tub and a full walk-in shower with multiple jets accented by special glass allowing light to flood in and out of the panels. Additional access to the private patio from this room, gives a feeling of limitless options of enjoying the outdoor sanctuaries of this home. The breezeway is another work of art, offering shelter or complete openness connecting both north and south sides of the home for maximum entertainment benefit. Nestled within this area is also a private sitting area, taking in the surrounding beauty. A complete, separate guest suite offers a living area with skylight, and two bedrooms with en-suite for each. Also offering magnificent views, this floor plan allows privacy for all parties. A generous, three car garage (whose floor you can eat off of), gives plenty of room for vehicles and toys befitting the Colorado lifestyle. Fifteen acres of original split rail fencing with views of Lake Durango and the La Plata's also has a 5' x 50' garden that has irrigation from a 1400 gallon cistern integrated system and electricity.
