Wide open sky, mesa views, and room to spread out. This 5 bedroom, 3 bath ranch home sits on 1.08 lush, irrigated acres just outside Aztec, minutes from the Animas River valley and about 25 minutes from Durango. Built in 2006, the 2,243 square foot open floor plan offers two separate living areas, so there's room for movie nights and quiet time all at once. A pellet stove adds cozy ambiance and efficient heat on cold nights. The kitchen is made for gathering, with all new appliances, abundant cabinet and counter space, a large peninsula for extra seating, and an easy flow into the dining area. Step through the French doors off the kitchen onto the covered back patio, and from there into a huge, grassy, fenced backyard framed by mature trees and views of the surrounding hills. Outside, the property earns its acreage. A detached 2 car garage/shop sits just off the driveway with 220V power and its own concrete parking pad. A separate storage shed sits further back near the fenced pen, handy for anyone wanting a round pen and cross fenced area for animals or hobby projects, plus a garden space and a dog run. The long gravel driveway offers plenty of extra parking, including room for an RV. This is quiet country living with easy access to everything the Four Corners has to offer. Farmington Lake, Navajo Lake fly fishing, kayaking the Animas River, skiing at Purgatory Resort, and off roading the Alpine Loop are all within reach. Come see 31 Road 2136 for yourself. Space, storage, and views like this don't come up often.
