VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS! If you are looking for a rural home that offers breathtaking La Plata Mountain views, a private pond, and convenient access to Durango, then this property is a must-see! This home features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and is situated just off County Road 301, providing quick and easy access to town and amenities. The current owners have undertaken extensive renovations over the years, including updated LVP flooring, new bathroom vanities, Hardiplank siding, a new roof, a new furnace and ducting, and a new porch overhang. The kitchen is equipped with Cambria quartz countertops, a Kohler cast iron farmhouse sink, and a multi-level island that offers both storage and dining space. The original ranch-style home has been expanded to include a spacious great room with floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the pond and mountain views, along with a lofted open-air bedroom/office and 3/4 bathroom. The primary bedroom with attached bath is located on the main level, alongside the additional bedrooms and a third bathroom. EXTERIOR: The property boasts 7.35 acre-feet of Florida Project Class B water, which is utilized to fill two ponds on the property. This water can be pumped off at your discretion using the included irrigation pump and equipment. Additionally, there is a 40 x 30 metal shop featuring two garage doors and a fully insulated, heated wing for year-round workspace comfort. The property also includes a semi-finished outbuilding [has drywall, painted, and flooring, but needs a heat source] that could serve as an office, art studio, exercise area, or more, along with extra carport-style storage on the side and a separate walk-in well/pump house. Originally encompassing 3 acres, the owners acquired an additional 5.5 acres for enhanced privacy, resulting in a combined 8.5-acre lot (plat map available in Associated Documents).
