1749 Thunderbird Rd, Hesperus, CO 81326

Thoughtfully designed as the perfect lock-and-leave luxury residence for those who love drop dead gorgeous views (both from inside and outside the home), sunsets, privacy, the ease of single level living with plenty of room to accommodate friends and family, and proximity to downtown Durango just a 15 minute drive away. The MAIN HOUSE is 3030 sf of single level living, with a huge master retreat in the west wing, light and bright private office with its own patio, great room and gorgeous big kitchen, large guest quarters and exercise room or second guest room in the east wing, big laundry and attached 3-car garage. This premier lot at the Ridges of Trappers Crossing was selected by the owners after seven years of looking for just the right property on which to build their perfect Colorado home, and, as they travelled and lived abroad months at a time, had the home engineered for easy maintenance and lock-and-leave living. Walking into this air conditioned, peaceful home you will have amazing La Plata Mtn views right in front of you and the glass all across the back of the home allows you to see all the way to the Sleeping Ute to the west, and the Twilight, Windom and Sunlight Peaks to the northeast. Privacy abounds, yet the home presents a very urban, cosmopolitan feeling. Light & airy throughout with its 10-12 foot ceilings, 3/4 inch maple flooring, slab granite, travertine, marble, central vac, and central air conditioning. Allergy sufferers will enjoy the no carpet aspect! The Studio was built for additional hobby, office and guest space. It features an additional 1726 sf of office and great room with generous slab granite countertops, small refrigerator and microwave, observatory or meditation space, downstairs currently used as a full artisan woodworking shop, two private TREX decks with fabulous views, two very nice bathrooms, and sleeping quarters (murphy bed in its own room). Beautiful materials and luxury features throughout - with central air conditioning, in-floor heat for its concrete flooring, slab granite, onyx, wood, central vac, tankless water heater. The perfect space for a busy executive who works remotely. Plus sculptors, painters, and writers will be greatly inspired here! So many luxury features, amenities and construction details throughout.
