At A Glance
Built in 2008 and remodeled by the current owners, the home reads as a single, well-thought-out gesture: vaulted cherry, river stone, two double-sided fireplaces, and a main-level primary that opens to its own deck.

The Property
The deck, after dinner
Covered, strung with cafe lights, sized for a long table. One of several decks at different angles and depths of shade.
From across the meadow
Three acres of open ground and pine, with the detached workshop and pull-through bay at the eastern edge.
The arrival
Cherry door, stone walls, a bistro table for the first cup. The front porch reads as a room, not a passage.
The front elevation
River-stone foundation, cedar siding, a covered porch wide enough to hold a swing and a Sunday.
Cedar grain, weathered honest
Where the siding meets the stone column. A texture moment, sun-aged and unfussy. Editorial detail crop.
Where the deck meets the pines
The eastern rail, where finished cedar gives way to bark and needle. The line between built and grown. Editorial detail crop.
Three acres of ponderosa pine,
and a house that knows it.
The Residence
You enter into the formal living area with dining to the left. A double-sided fireplace draws you into the kitchen, which has been opened up and remodeled with Dekton countertops, a new stainless hood, a built-in window seat, and a breakfast bar with wine fridge. Vaulted ceilings throughout the main level. Cherry floors throughout.
The main-level primary suite has its own double-sided fireplace, a walk-in closet, a double vanity, a huge soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and direct access to the deck. Up the stairs off the great room, two well-appointed bedrooms share a full bath, with a library landing in between.
Up another set of stairs there is a guest apartment with a kitchenette and full bath. The space could just as easily be a studio, an exercise room, or whatever it needs to be. Great light, interesting roof lines, and storage you can actually use.
The Distinctions
01
The property has been pre-inspected and the corners flagged. Three full acres of ponderosa pine in southwestern Colorado, with the home set well back from the road and well in among the trees.
02
Vaulted ceilings, cherry floors, a double-sided fireplace, a soaking tub, and a walk-out to the deck. The suite reads as a wing of the house rather than a room within it.
03
On its own set of stairs above the great room. Kitchenette, full bath, plenty of light. Equally good as a long-stay guest suite, a studio, or a private home office above the action.
04
The detached garage has workbenches, natural light, a bathroom, and pull-through bay doors. Easy access for a boat, an RV, or anything else worth bringing inside.
05
A covered deck for long dinners under cafe lights. Other decks, covered and uncovered, at different orientations of sun, shade, and privacy. Outdoor space treated as a planned set of rooms.

The Setting
Set in the pine country south of downtown Durango, the property sits inside the rhythm of southwestern Colorado without sitting on top of it. Mountain biking and rafting at the Animas. Skiing at Purgatory. Hiking the San Juans. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad twenty minutes north.
The drive into town takes about fifteen minutes. The drive into the trees takes none. The address itself is on a quiet terrace, surrounded by larger lots, with the road ending well before it reaches anywhere busy.
