Located in prestigious Trappers Crossing, this amazing home is only 10 minutes from Durango and 5 minutes from Lake Nighthorse. The home evokes the look and feel of a spa retreat and is crafted with indigenous materials, regionally sensitive architecture and an exquisite tonal palette. Accented with hand-wrought artisan iron and copper stair rails, scuppers and lighting, the home has high ceilings, a large gourmet kitchen with double wall ovens and breakfast nook, a sunken great room with large fireplace, art nooks, and solid Douglas fir beams throughout. The large master bedroom has amazing views, a kiva fireplace, huge master bath/walk-in closet, deck, and salt water hot tub just steps out the master French doors. The home has been meticulously renovated and updated over the last 5 years, with over $200,000 invested in new hardwood floors, new stucco, a new French drainage system, handmade copper scuppers and lighting, new paint, additional landscaping, new high-end appliances, a new commercial- grade roof, new A/C, and a new salt water hot tub. Perfect for entertaining outdoors, the large back flagstone patio has a huge stacked stone fireplace and incredible views of the La Plata mountains. There is also an attached artist studio which is accessible from the outside and not included in the square footage of the residence. The studio has plenty of light, gorgeous beams, and like every other room in the home, amazing views. With 11.45 acres of privacy, the home was designed as a series of squares so that every room maximizes views of the surrounding wildflowers, Ponderosa pine forest, and rugged snow-capped La Plata mountains. Wander the flagstone meditation paths throughout the acreage that take in the magnificent views of the property, have morning coffee on any of the three porches with magnificent views, and enjoy the symphony of sounds from the wildlife in your seasonal pond. This home is the best Colorado has to offer- spa-like tranquility and beauty on the inside and amazing views on the spacious acreage.
