Tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac in the coveted 6-home Sanctuary subdivision, this beautifully crafted custom home captures the essence of refined mountain living in Durango’s scenic North Animas Valley. Surrounded by mature landscaping and enhanced by irrigation rights, the property is designed to embrace Colorado’s spectacular outdoor lifestyle with seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces and sweeping mountain and valley views. Ideally positioned just minutes from downtown Durango, Dalton Ranch Golf Club, Durango Hot Springs, Purgatory Resort, gourmet market, hiking and biking trails, and the Animas River, the location offers an exceptional balance of privacy, recreation, and convenience. Inside, timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful design define every space. Solid alderwood doors, trim, and custom cabinetry pair beautifully with Australian cypress hardwood floors, freshly resurfaced in 2023, while radiant in-floor heat warms the main level. Built-in speakers wired throughout the home and garage create an effortless atmosphere for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. The main level unfolds with a welcoming office near the entry, an elegant formal dining room framed by a bay window, and a sunken living room centered around a gas fireplace and sophisticated wet bar complete with a sink and refrigerator. Designed for both culinary creativity and effortless hosting, the open kitchen features an induction cooktop, double wall ovens, warming drawer, prep sink, secondary sink with separate disposal, trash compactor, pantry, pull-out shelving, custom spice racks, filtered water system, built-in desk area, and updated appliances installed in 2022. The main-level primary suite serves as a private retreat with dual walk-in closets, double vanities, a jetted soaking tub, updated tile flooring, and direct access to the hot tub patio. Upstairs, each of the four additional bedrooms offers en-suite baths and walk-in closets, while the expansive vaulted bonus room creates the ultimate gathering space with a full bar, wine fridge, mini refrigerator, ice maker, and picturesque views overlooking the neighborhood greenspace, pond, and waterfall. Additional space features a home gym and sitting area with stunning views. Outdoor living is equally exceptional, featuring a gas-start wood-burning fireplace, commercial-grade patio heater, privacy screen, hot tub, and select included patio furnishings — creating an inviting setting for year-round enjoyment beneath the Colorado sky, and the summer sounds of the irrigation water trickling by. Additional highlights include new carpet, updated interior and exterior paint, a new roof in 2025, a heated oversized two-car garage with workshop and extensive built-in cabinetry, central vacuum system, sprinkler system supplied by well water, laundry room with utility sink and extra refrigerator, and plumbing already in place for a future heated driveway. The Sanctuary also offers shared greenspace at the end of the cul-de-sac, featuring a pond and picnic area. Enjoy all that this lush and secluded getaway has to offer and more!
