Description

The most striking feature of this unique Durango property is the breathtaking views of the Florida River valley and the La Plata and San Juan mountains. Perched atop Florida Mesa, this 4-acre unrestricted property offers spectacular vistas of the Florida River, located several hundred feet below. Situated just inside the entrance of the gated community of Florida River Ranch, it was originally Lot #2. The main house, built in 1977, spans approximately 3,000 square feet and has undergone extensive remodeling from 2017 to the present. This original equestrian ranch home features an unfinished basement and boasts a main bedroom with an ensuite bath and soaking tub, located upstairs with a private balcony. The separate guest quarters, added in 2020, are about 1,300 square feet and feature post-and-beam construction with a small basement. Both residences share a "deer-proof" backyard, as well as wells and septic systems. The outdoor space includes over 2,000 square feet of decks and a beautifully manicured bluegrass yard. The owners were drawn to this property for its unparalleled views. Importantly, this property is located outside the HOA, presenting potential for rental use. Inside the main house, the layout features a large Great Room that was an addition to the original structure, making it a two-story space. The open concept kitchen, dining, and family rooms are separated by a half wall and two steps. A wall of windows showcases the stunning valley and backyard views. The laundry area connects the family room to an oversized two-car garage, while an office and a small half bath are conveniently located nearby.Upstairs, the main bedroom features exposed rafters, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with a shower, bathtub, and double vanity. The covered east-facing balcony offers picturesque views of the valley. The other bedrooms are similarly sized, with a recently remodeled hallway bath. The basement serves as a crawlspace beneath the Great Room. The ADU, constructed in 2020, is a Linwood post-and-beam panelized "home kit" set on a solid concrete foundation. It shares septic and water systems with the main house. Originally designed as a five-bedroom structure, the main house is now a four-bedroom, with the ADU functioning as the fifth. The entry area of the ADU features a large wall of windows that frame the breathtaking views. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, and a pantry is located conveniently near the bedroom hallway. The ADU bedroom has an ensuite bath with a soaking tub and a sliding door that opens onto a deck overlooking the valley. Upstairs, there are two additional rooms--ideal for a study and den--and another full bathroom with an oversized shower. The small basement houses a water heater and a 300-gallon cistern with a booster pump.This property embodies the quintessential Colorado outdoor experience, surrounded by natural beauty and wildlife, including deer and turkeys frequently spotted nearby. Outdoor activities such as horseback riding, fishing, and winter sports are all accessible from this south Durango location. Purgatory Resort is just an hour away, and the Durango Historic Railroad offers scenic trips to Silverton. The property includes a spacious, shared deer-proof backyard with over 2,000 square feet of composite decking, featuring a 3,500-gallon swim spa. All this overlooks the breathtaking views from 200 feet above the Florida River valley and surrounding mountains. With horse-ready facilities, the property can also serve as a small farm due to its abundant water supply. It comes with senior water rights, providing 1 CFS from a spring that has never run dry, making it ideal for housing around five horses or for small-scale livestock or crop farming. In summary, this property is all about spectacular views in a park-like setting, with ample space and resources, perfectly situated to enjoy all that southwest Colorado and Durango have to offer throughout the year.
