Only 1 mile west of the Durango city limits, this charming home offers the opportunities of rural living while still only 5 miles to downtown Durango! 6.58 acres sits in a beautiful valley with Coal Creek running through it (seasonal). Birds, wildlife, and opportunity for animals, livestock and horses. Only a 5-minute bike ride to the Twin Buttes trail system and only minutes to the Dry Fork and Colorado Trails! The property has been sculpted for easy maintenance yet allowing room and opportunity to adapt to your needs. The home is a cozy retreat for an individual, couple, small family or the foundation to expand into your dream home. One full bedroom and bathroom, with large open loft to use as a flex space or extra bedroom. The open floor plan takes in the views and incorporates indoor/outdoor living. The large outdoor patio is accessed from the 300 square foot sunroom and expands into the backyard with a fully automated sprinkler system and fire pit. The kitchen has a breakfast bar and looks over the sunroom and backyard while opening up into the living space. The lovely home was built in 2000 but has rustic board & baton siding that is rough sawn and locally harvested (installed in 2011) that makes it appear to have been here for generations. The interior has a more modern feel with solid wood doors, engineered wood floors, tile, skylights and wood casement windows. The home is heated by both a woodstove as well as propane forced air. Have the comfort and ambiance of a fire, with the backup and ease of forced air. A barn/workshop makes a great space for storage and/or projects, and a woodshed is easily accessed from the living area. Lots of parking and the south slope has been excavated to build a garage/workshop/living structure. With great privacy and views, while only minutes to town, this really is a special home and property.
