Perched above the Animas Valley, this beautiful property is the perfect spot to enjoy Colorado views while offering the seclusion and privacy you want in combination with easy access to Durango, the Dalton Ranch Country Club and Purgatory ski area. Sitting amongst 3 acres of tall ponderosa pines and gamble oaks, the home encompasses 2,688 SqFt across three levels with a total of 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The ground level of the home has been fully finished out with a new kitchen and bathroom to function as the perfect Granny Flat or ADU for guests or as a lock off that could be a long or short term rental. The rest of the home has also been recently renovated throughout making it a truly turnkey property that is ready for its new owners. Recent upgrades include, new windows, doors, kitchen plus appliances, flooring, bathroom updates in addition to a new secondary bathroom on the upper level and a new high efficiency boiler for the new hot water baseboard heating system. The primary space of the home has great flow and offers a nice sized kitchen with tons of natural light that pour through the multiple glass doors that provide access to the elevated front deck, the ideal spot for morning coffee and valley views. Heading back through the kitchen you’ll find the dining and living room area that’s kept toasty and cozy with the oversized wood burning stove. This space also has slider glass doors that provide access to the back patio which is a nice shady spot to take in a summer afternoon. Around the corner from the living room is a full bath and the stairs to the upper level where the primary suite as well as 2 more bedrooms plus another full bath are located. The primary suite has a wall of south facing windows providing amazing down valley views and sunlight that is completed with the new finishes in the bathroom. The 2 additional bedrooms are good sized rooms with a brand new bathroom that sits between them. The home is accessed via a private drive off of CR 201 shared with only one other property, there are no covenants which means you can use the property as you see fit, whether as your own personal mountain paradise or the perfect second home that you can STR to make additional revenue. Or occupy the main area of the home and rent the lower ADU as short or long term rental to help offset your monthly expenses. This is the first time this property has been on the market in 20+ years and properties in the Animas Valley with no covenants or restrictions don’t come around often, making this a truly unique opportunity.
