Tucked away on a serene 1.37-acre corner lot, this charming home offers the perfect blend of country living and convenience only 20 minutes to Durango. Step inside to soaring wood ceilings and cool tile floors that keep the space breezy in summer, while radiant in-floor heat, passive solar windows and a wood stove provide cozy warmth in winter. The primary bedroom with its own bath is on one side, while the other side of the home features a second bedroom, guest bath, and an additional flex room - ideal for a home office or creative space. Unique details like artistic tile work and hand-built rock shelves add artistic character throughout. Outside, you’ll find everything you need for relaxed, intentional living: a fully fenced yard, chicken coop, woodshed, and a rainwater catchment system for gardening. The north facing covered front porch offers summer afternoon shade to bbq or relax while watching the hummingbirds. Just across the quiet road, a peaceful trail invites you to unwind with a walk into the nearby BLM trail system. A detached 180 sq ft studio makes an inspiring spot for remote work or artistic pursuits, and the separate two-car garage with workshop space offers room to tinker, build, or store your gear. With no HOA or restrictive covenants, you’ll have the freedom to homestead, host, or simply stretch out and live on your own terms - all in a setting that invites connection with nature and creativity.
