Description

Rarely does a property offer this much privacy, flexibility, and convenience. Situated on more than 4 acres in desirable Rafter J but outside the HOA, this warm and welcoming home includes a legal ADU with a separate entrance-perfect for long-term rental income, multigenerational living, or guest accommodations. Enjoy the best of country living just minutes from town. With paved-road access, you're only six miles and approximately 10 minutes from downtown Durango, while still enjoying the peace and space of a rural setting. Lake Nighthorse is also nearby, offering easy access for boating, paddleboarding, and recreation. The beautifully landscaped backyard is a true retreat, thoughtfully designed by a Master Gardener. Mature plantings include apple trees, raspberries, strawberries, and white currants, complemented by a stunning Purple Robe Locust and extensive flagstone hardscaping. Multiple outdoor living areas-including an expansive flagstone patio, upper-level deck, and private balcony off the primary suite-provide the perfect places to relax and take in the views. Backing to a seasonal stream and ravine, the property enjoys exceptional privacy and a naturally cooler microclimate during the summer months. Additional features include a 3.5 kW solar system, two Lake Durango water taps, a new septic tank, a wood-burning stove on the main level, oak and tile flooring, a reverse osmosis drinking water system, deer-fenced garden areas with irrigation, and a two-car garage with an additional potting shed for storage. What a unique opportunity to own a private Colorado retreat with income potential, sustainable features, and an unbeatable location!
