Property Description
Contemporary Luxury Meets Natural Beauty in Falls Creek Ranch Situated in the picturesque meadows of Falls Creek Ranch in Durango, this stunning contemporary home offers a seamless blend of modern luxury and natural charm. Extensively remodeled in 2016, the property boasts updates inside and out, including a new roof, ensuring a move-in-ready experience. The home sits on a rare, open, and flat lot in the meadows, offering optimal southern exposure for energy efficiency year-round. Spanning 3,156 square feet, the main residence features three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, designed with comfort and sustainability in mind. Highlights include in-floor heating in the master bath and kitchen, forced-air heating, and a passive photovoltaic solar system. The covered deck entry leads to an airlock-style foyer that opens to a sunlit living room with built-in cabinets. Sliding doors reveal a paved stone patio complete with a fire pit, hot tub, and outdoor entertaining space—perfect for enjoying breathtaking views of Durango's iconic red cliffs and the serene meadow beyond. At the heart of the home, the open-concept main floor features a spacious kitchen with contemporary countertops, an island with seating and pendant lighting, and a dining area where large windows frame stunning views and local wildlife sightings. The great room's wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, while a spa-like bathroom with a tub and sauna completes the main level. Upstairs, the luxurious master suite includes dual vanities, a remote-controlled adjustable mirror, a dual shower, and a soaking tub beneath a sparkling chandelier. Two additional bedrooms and a shared bath round out the private living quarters. Beyond the main home, the detached three-car garage includes a 528-square-foot studio apartment with a full bath and pellet stove. This versatile space is ideal for visitors or flexible use and can only be rented when the homeowner is not occupying the main house. Recent upgrades, including new flooring, baseboards, and a water softener, enhance the home's modern appeal and ensure comfort. Falls Creek Ranch offers a unique lifestyle, blending luxury with outdoor adventure. The community features miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, with direct access to 172,000 acres of BLM land. Residents enjoy a private lake with a sandy beach, swim platform, kayaking, and paddleboarding opportunities, as well as tennis facilities and horse stables. Only 100 Home sites spanning 940 acres, the ranch is a serene haven set amid Ponderosa pines, meadows, and striking red cliffs, all maintained by an on-site caretaker who ensures year-round road access. Each homeowner has a 1 acre lot and 9 acres of open space so it feels like a 10 acre parcel. Steeped in history as an archaeological preserve of ancient Anasazi land, Falls Creek Ranch combines a rich cultural legacy with modern amenities and an active outdoor lifestyle. This home is not just a residence; it's a retreat into Durango's most captivating landscape. A tremendous value - home and guest house now priced below the appraisal.
