Breathtaking views overlooking the La Plata and San Juan mountains from this Santa Fe style home nestled in the hills of Trappers Crossing. Please check out the 3D visual tour link for a video walkthrough! Just minutes away from historic downtown Durango this 4-bedroom, 4 1/2 bath, 4,864 square-foot home is ideal for entertaining a large group, yet so well designed that it can feel comfortable as a romantic retreat for a couple. Did we mention the unimpeded, spectacular views? From the moment, you step through the door, you’re bowled away by large views and then drawn into why this home is so special. No detail has been overlooked. Large windows frame the great room (with sunken wet bar so your view is uninterrupted) allowing you to enjoy the La Plata Mountains to the North, and Grenadiers and Twilight Peaks to the Northeast. An authentic kiva fireplace unobtrusively adds both charm and warmth to the room. The expansive adjacent deck with infinity glass guardrail is ideal for entertaining or relaxing and taking in the mountain views. The guest wing shares the views and features an en suite bedroom, office, large guest room and full bath. The downstairs offers a whole living area with separate bedroom, bath living room and again – spectacular views – with full privacy. In the main living area, the gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, with top-of-the-line, Jenn Air appliances; abundant beautiful alder wood cabinets; granite countertops; a large island with gas range; two sinks and two separate prep areas; two dishwashers; two refrigerators; and a double oven with warming drawer, all steps away from a large walk-in pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen is an inviting dining area ideal for family gatherings. In the spacious, privately located master suite, another kiva fireplace adds warmth and charm. The master suite also has access to an exterior private deck and the master bathroom offers a huge walk-in shower, jetted tub and double sinks in well-appointed granite countertops and ceramic tiles. The media room is great for binge-watching your favorite shows and convenient to all main living areas. An equipment room (adjacent to laundry and 3-car garage) handles all your hiking, biking, skiing and golfing needs. This mountain home is not to be missed – the views alone are worth the trip.
