Don’t miss your chance to stretch out on your own sprawling 4 acre slice of heaven nestled just beneath the LaPlata Mountains, giving you awe inspiring views from nearly every room in this lovely 3 bed, 2 bath 1961 sq ft home. You will be mesmerized by the beauty of the snow capped mountains as you sip your morning coffee from your back porch that is nearly the length of this lovely contemporary ranch, making it more than large enough to grill and host get togethers allowing your friends to soak in the Colorado beauty that is now your everyday life. You enter this immaculately maintained home through the front door, off the adorable rocking chair porch, where you are instantly greeted by an open bright, light and airy feeling that is filled to the brim with rustic charm that instantly makes you feel like you are home. You want to just kick your feet up in front of a roaring fire in the prominent stone fireplace and gaze out the giant sliders. The Aspen tongue and groove vaulted ceilings are a beautiful backdrop for the lovely super spacious kitchen surrounded by absolutely stunning cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a freestanding breakfast bar, with a dining area just on the other side of it. The woodwork throughout the house really continues that rustic flow and feel, though you will definitely feel more like a prince here than frontiersman as you relax in your soaking tub in the master suite that is complete a dual headed, huge tiled shower and the always beloved Jack and Jill sinks. This home spoils you with a central sound system, air conditioning and even a central vacuum system, as well as a convenient laundry room equipped with front loading machines. There are endless possibilities with 1750 sq ft of heated garage and shop space. There is a 2 car garage as well as another garage for workspace and an RV (complete with hookup). This property, that is irrigated and zoned for 2 horses by the way, is only 14 miles from historic Durango and is in the Durango school district. You are only 10 miles from the century old trading town of Ignacio where its’ rich heritage is celebrated throughout the year. You can enjoy everything from the Bear Dance, the 100 year old San Ignacio Fiesta to Powwows, bike week, rodeos and the Southern Ute Fair. If modern culture is more your style you can always hit the new SKY Ute Casino Resort in town where they offer poker, blackjack, craps, roulette, bingo and hundreds of slots. Of course living here you are in the heart of all things outdoors, near trails to hike, rivers to kayak, mountains to ski. Everything truly Colorado just waiting for you to explore. This is a must see home where you can really take refuge and enjoy your own private beautiful spread while not being so isolated that you can’t enjoy and be an intrical part of the enriching communities surrounding you.
