101 Laughing Dog Ln, Durango, CO 81301

Exceptional property at The Creeks at Destination Ranch! This subdivision is a private community of just six estates and offers the finest property in the Durango area. The lot spans 35 acres of beautifully manicured meadow, mixed with towering Ponderosa and Limber Pine, Gambel Oak, Douglas Fir, and Mountain Juniper trees. The tranquil beauty of the setting is unmatched, as well as the privacy and quietness of the surroundings-in the entire subdivision this lot boasts more useable land and more timbered property than any other. All this and you're just 10 miles to historic downtown Durango. The timber frame home is picturesque Colorado and blends perfectly into the landscape with barn siding, metal roof and sliding barn doors to access storage underneath. A beautiful rock staircase with log stairs leads to the home’s entry, just tall enough to capture the jaw-dropping views of the Lightner Creek Valley, Barn Roof Peak, and the forest surrounding you from the front porch and every window in the home. Inside you’ll find a home with incredible “mountain escape” character, with wide plank wood floors, tongue and groove ceiling, copper counters and a gas fireplace to enjoy the ambiance. The home has southern exposure with great light throughout -it seems the home was oriented to take in the sunrise! Have you dreamed of owning horses? The property has a two-story barn large enough to keep them as well as your snowmobiles, vehicles, or any outdoor equipment you desire with electric and water connections and a retaining wall allowing you to pull right up to both the first and second floors. Close by, you’ll find the beautiful 100x200’ arena with a hydrant-other frost frees are scattered around the property. The subdivision has direct access to public land-some of it private to the homeowners-ideal for hiking or horseback riding to your heart's content right from your doorstep. Do you need more space? The home was intended to be a guest home and a separate building site has been graded with a separate septic already in. Build the home you've always dreamed of owning private to the guest home. You’ll love waking up in the morning with your very own flock of turkeys sharing the property as well as elk, deer and other wildlife that pass through. Don’t miss out on this perfect Colorado property-homes like this rarely come on market.
