This property is magic in the mountains!! This lovely, custom, craftsman style home with workshop plus substantial storage shed on 3+ wooded and very usable acres is an elevated cabin in the woods compound with cozy comfort in a quiet and peaceful setting. This is a premium lot featuring level topography so the ability to expand is all set and is located in the desirable Los Ranchitos subdivision, approximately 20 minutes from downtown Durango. Attention to detail is evident throughout the home, outbuildings and grounds. The main level features the great room, kitchen, Primary bedroom and bath. The upper level is loft style and could be used as a 2nd bedroom or office. There is a deck off the 2nd level that overlooks the gardens. The shop and shed are architecturally conforming, giving the entire property the look of thoughtful planning and design. The gardens are filled with perennial plants and there is an additional garden area fenced to keep the wildlife out. Outdoor living spaces include patio with Koi pond (fish are excluded!), covered porch and balcony. A pass-through gate beyond the home on Lobo Drive is locked, and therefore, this home has no through traffic, adding to privacy and quiet enjoyment of the premises. CenturyLink is current provider, but Clear Network installation in the neighborhood is expected to be completed in Summer 2026. Breakdown on HOA dues that are $626 per quarter as follows: Roads $294 Water Service $151 Trash $66 Admin $50 Mailbox special assessment $65 Basic monthly water fee is $17--summer months will be higher with outside watering of the gardens.
