312 Columbine Rd, Durango, CO 81301

Tucked away on 3 beautifully wooded acres, this 3 bedroom creekfront summer cabin is being offered for sale for the first time ever. Located on land held by the same family for more than 50 years, this is a truly special mountain retreat where privacy, nature, and recreational opportunities come together. 420' of Elbert Creek flows along the eastern boundary, creating the soothing soundtrack of running water while attracting abundant wildlife. 2 spacious south facing covered porches provide a combined 384 square feet of outdoor living space, offering the perfect setting to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the peaceful forest and creek views. The property is bordered by National Forest along the south boundary, providing direct access to public lands while ensuring lasting privacy with no future development behind you. Across the creek to the east, the neighboring property is protected by a wildlife conservation easement, preserving the natural setting and preventing future construction near the creek. With no HOA, this property offers exceptional flexibility for personal enjoyment or investment and would make an outstanding short-term rental or family getaway. The acreage also includes ample level ground with room to build a garage, workshop, barn, or ADU. Properties with this combination of creek frontage, National Forest access, privacy, development potential, and a first-time-on-the-market legacy ownership are exceptionally rare. This is a unique opportunity to own a mountain retreat that can be enjoyed for generations to come. Estate sale sold "as-is". No Seller's Property Disclosure.
