Very rarely do properties as special as this one come available. Situated on Lightner Creek, the beautiful home has been perfectly maintained for as long as the current owners have resided here. The 3,036 sf main house sits near the back of the 4.2 acre property, is perched above the creek and offers great views of the creek below and the majestic mountains in the distance. Once you cross the bridge and head up the pathway that leads to the house, you'll be immediately enchanted by the sounds of the creek flowing by and the sights of the mature Pine, Spruce, and Aspen trees and the blooming lilac bushes and other perennial flowers and plants that adorn the property. There are multiple sitting areas overlooking the creek as you make your way to the main house, along with a hot tub that is perfectly placed to maximize the creek views. Upon entering the house, you will be delighted by the open floor plan that is conducive to entertaining and large family gatherings. The kitchen is open to the living room and dining room, and features granite counter tops, cherry cabinetry, and top of the line stainless steel appliances. There is a cozy breakfast nook with built-in bench seating tucked away at the end of the kitchen, with windows overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds below. The enormous master suite sits just off the kitchen and features his and hers walk-in closets, plus an additional sweater closet. The master bath has been nicely updated and features an oversize shower. The upper level loft can be utilized as a game/rec room, office, or large family room. You are sure to enjoy the views of the mountains in the distance from the loft. Located on the lower level of the home is another family room area with a 1910 Round Oak wood burning stove that is capable of heating much of the home. There are also two additional bedrooms on the lower level, as well as a full bath and the laundry room. In addition to the many features of the home and the wonderful creek frontage and property that surround the home, there are two additional cabins on the property. Each cabin is home to two 1 BR, 1 BA rental units that generate $2850/mo in income for the property owner. These have traditionally been rental units, but could be used as guest quarters or in-laws quarters. The units are in excellent condition and the income derived from them will cover an additional $450K loan amount. Bordering hundreds of acres of public lands, privacy is paramount with this property, as is peacefulness and tranquility. This is a very special property that is just waiting for a very special buyer. Located just 10 minutes from downtown Durango and accessed on paved, County maintained roads, this property is easily accessible but gives you the feeling of being in the forest miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
