Property Description
Tall Timber is an ultra-private, 200± acre fly-in mountain estate located inside the 1.8M± acre San Juan National Forest near Durango, Colorado. Surrounded by protected public lands with no public road access, this legacy-quality property combines true seclusion with unique arrival options by helicopter or private rail, plus use of a nearby 10,000± sq ft private hangar with attached 3BD/3BA apartment. The centerpiece of the property is a lodge-style residence that lives like a boutique mountain resort. Multiple guest suites, expansive great rooms with stone fireplaces, and generous dining and gathering areas are designed for hosting family, friends, or corporate retreats. The Resort consists of 21 beautifully appointed bedrooms, 22 full bathrooms & 10 half baths. A fully equipped commercial-grade kitchen supports chef-driven entertaining, while large windows and decks capture views of forest, river, and surrounding peaks. For staff and/or additional guests the property also has 18 additional bedrooms, 15 bathrooms and 2 half baths for a property total of 39 bedrooms, 40 full bathrooms and 13 half baths. Tall Timber is rich with distinctive amenities, including an old-fashioned soda shop/ice cream parlor and a vintage-style barbershop that add charm and character rarely found in a private estate. Outdoor recreation is exceptional, featuring extensive river frontage and one of the longest zip line courses in the United States, offering an on-site adventure experience that spans the property's dramatic terrain. A resort-style pool and hot tub provide a relaxing counterpoint to the high-adventure setting, creating an ideal environment for multi-generational use and four-season enjoyment. On-site staff/caretaker quarters support year-round operation and management, whether envisioned as a private family compound, executive retreat, or specialty hospitality venue (subject to approvals). Located within the San Juan National Forest and approximately an hour from Purgatory Resort and the amenities of Durango, Tall Timbers offers unmatched privacy, significant infrastructure, and a setting that cannot be replicated—a rare opportunity for a discerning buyer seeking a secure, fly-in Colorado mountain sanctuary.
