Conveniently situated between Durango, Glacier Club, and the Purgatory ski area, this magnificent custom home is the ideal private retreat. Set amongst Ponderosa Pines just off County Road 250 on Colley Lane, you feel a sense of tranquility as you enter the property with its secluded park-like setting. The spacious open floor plan and meticulous use of stunning stacked stone, slate tile, large timber frame beams, warm paint, metal, and wood tones create a welcoming seamless flow throughout the home. The open living area offers a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace and wonderful floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. There is a formal dining room just off the entry with large south-facing windows and spectacular custom stacked stone and metal walls. Just across the entry through the stone arch and double doors is the large well-appointed home office featuring oversized windows, gorgeous wood plank flooring, a built-in desk area, and cabinets for plenty of storage to keep you organized. There are more custom details showcased in the kitchen, including granite counters, a stainless range hood, wood cabinetry, and new appliances. This is the perfect spot for entertaining with its large center island for plenty of seating, which is expanded even further by opening out to a large covered flagstone patio with a wood-burning fireplace and separate outdoor built-in kitchen that includes a stone pizza oven. Off the living area is the spacious master suite with more walls of windows, an ensuite bathroom featuring a soaking tub, separate spa-like shower, and large walk-in closet. There is also a workstation, laundry room, and powder room conveniently located just off the living area leading to the attached two-car garage. Upstairs you will find three private bedroom suites with a spacious shared living area. The fourth bedroom can be accessed from the living area and also offers a private entrance off the garage, which is ideal for guests or a multi-generational living set up. Additionally, there is a large heated and fully-finished garage/shop with separate driveway access that offers ample room for storing toys, additional cars, or can be used as an incredible living space to play music, socialize with guests, showcase art, or other collections.
