Perched high above the Animas River, this stunning residence offers panoramic 180-degree views of the South Animas River Valley and surrounding mountains. Thoughtfully designed with artistic flair and an emphasis on natural light, the home invites you to fully embrace the breathtaking scenery from nearly every room. Step onto the expansive Trex deck—an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening sunsets—and soak in the ever-changing beauty of the river below. Inside, the home features three bedrooms, two baths, an office, and a versatile loft space. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a spa-like remodeled bath featuring a vessel tub positioned to capture the view, a separate shower, and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath on the main level, along with a dedicated office that could serve as a fourth bedroom. The upstairs loft provides the perfect space for a home gym, meditation room, or creative studio. All bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the main level for easy living. The living room is wrapped in walls of windows, offering uninterrupted views and abundant natural light. The kitchen and dining area are equally impressive, with picture windows on three sides, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, bar seating, and updated tile flooring. Hardwood floors flow throughout the rest of the home, adding warmth and continuity. Comfort and convenience are top priorities in this home, with 4-ton central air conditioning, in-floor radiant electric heat, and double-sided electric fireplaces in both the living and dining rooms. Parking and workspace are no issue, thanks to an attached 2-car garage and a detached 1,024 square foot (32' x 32') 3-car garage/workshop with high ceilings, three doors, 120V/220V power, and a fully decked attic for additional storage. The detached shop is perfect for car enthusiasts and has a steel beam that has been used an engine hoist. It could easily be transformed into a private gym, home office, or creative space in the third bay. A hot tub sits perfectly positioned to enjoy the views, while the xeriscaped yard, metal roof, and cedar siding offer low-maintenance durability. There’s also a fully enclosed dog run tucked beneath the deck, along with a hidden storage area. This peaceful Rainbow Road neighborhood provides direct Animas River access for fishing and outdoor enjoyment, along with a scenic trail along the irrigation canal—perfect for walking, biking, and hiking. Wildlife lovers will appreciate the frequent sightings of eagles, deer, and a variety of birds that call this area home. All of this is located just minutes from downtown Durango, making it a rare blend of tranquility, thoughtful design, and everyday convenience.
