Set on nearly 13 private acres in the desirable Trappers Crossing subdivision, 1345 Heritage Road offers a refined mountain retreat just six miles west of downtown Durango. The property enjoys sweeping views of the La Plata Mountains, Ridges Basin Range, and Lake Nighthorse, while adjoining 206 acres of protected open space ensures lasting privacy and provides direct access to a newly established hiking and snowshoeing trail just steps from the home. Designed for effortless main-level living, the residence welcomes you with expansive decks and large Pella picture windows that frame the surrounding landscape. The main level features a spacious primary suite, a guest bedroom with ensuite bath, a well-appointed gourmet kitchen, formal dining room with Australian Cypress hardwood floors, a private office with custom built-ins, and a generous laundry room. The primary suite offers walk-in closets, a cedar closet, and a spa-like bath with a six-foot whirlpool tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. In the living area, a Vermont Castings fireplace with mahogany mantel and granite tile hearth creates a warm focal point during winter months. A flexible space currently used as an art gallery could easily serve as a music room, media room or could be closed off with the adjoining bedroom and bath for a in law suite. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a six-burner Viking gas range with dual convection ovens, granite island, bar seating, and a walk-in pantry. Just beyond, the laundry room provides additional storage, a utility sink, and access to the back deck where a covered hot tub offers a private outdoor retreat. Comfort and efficiency are supported by a five-zone radiant in-floor heating system, central vacuum, and quality construction throughout. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, each with a private full bath and covered deck, along with a bonus area that could function as a fitness room, studio, or additional storage. Interior details include aspen tongue-and-groove ceilings, hand-textured walls, art display niches, extensive storage, and a fire sprinkler system. The surrounding grounds are equally inviting, with mature aspens providing vibrant fall color and a drip irrigation system supporting the landscaping. Expansive decks on both sides of the home create exceptional outdoor living spaces to enjoy the sweeping mountain views and abundant wildlife. Additional highlights include a three-car garage with dedicated storage, high-efficiency boiler, 80-gallon quick-recovery water heater, and a recently installed composite roof with heat mats designed to prevent winter ice dams. Located less than 20 minutes from historic downtown Durango and just minutes from Lake Nighthorse, this exceptional property combines privacy, convenience, and the natural beauty of Southwest Colorado—offering an elevated mountain lifestyle with access to endless recreation just outside your door.
