Property Description
A true diamond in the woods and arguably the best-kept secret in the Animas Valley. Tucked into a private hillside setting on 3.75 acres (2 acres of irrigation water) adjacent to the National Forest, this meticulously maintained home offers the rare combination of seclusion and convenience, with everything the valley has to offer just moments away. To reach the property, Orchard Bluff, youâll pass through the gate, cross the charming Hermosa Creek, which you can hear from the home itself, and continue through a neighboring orchard before arriving at the residence. The main house features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 offices, and a bonus room, all within a thoughtfully designed, light-filled floor plan. Anderson windows throughout the home bring in abundant natural light, highlighting the beautiful wood finishes. The kitchen features solid wood cabinetry with built-in wine storage, a chef's kitchen with Viking appliances, granite countertops, and a formal dining area that seamlessly flows to a large wrap-around deck perfect for morning coffee or sunset entertaining while taking in breathtaking cliff views. On the main level, a bedroom, office, and full bathroom provide flexible living options, while the expansive laundry room includes generous storage and a utility sink. From here, step outside to an amazing outdoor shower that overlooks the cliffs and national forest, offering an unparalleled connection to nature. The upper level is home to the primary suite, complete with its own private deck plumped for a hot tub, large walk-in closet, and desk/vanity space. Down the hall is an additional office with an impressive, secure 12â01â by 5â11â safe, another bedroom with a ¾ bathroom, and a bonus room, great for a craft area, home theater, with hidden attic storage, ensuring both functionality and comfort for family or guests. The property also features a 2-car attached garage and a detached 2-car garage with 640 sq ft of upper-level bonus space. One of the detached garage bays measures 23â08â deep, accommodating large vehicles and storage needs. The upstairs bonus area includes a full-window sunroom with views of the National Forest, a separate studio with a bathroom, and a sink area. This space is perfect for an artist, a home gym, homeschooling, or a private office. Outdoors, the home is equally impressive. Impeccable landscaping, lush green grass, automatic sprinkler system (water from ditch rights and 23 sprinkler sites) and Trex decking. Water rights off the Ragsdale Ditch, transfer with the deed, provide added value and sustainability. Every element of this property has been maintained to the highest standard. New septic tank installed 2026. Tucked into the national forest yet remarkably close to everything Durango has to offer, this home strikes a rare balance between seclusion and convenience. Expansive decks, a sunroom, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces invite you to unwind, entertain, or simply lose yourself in sweeping panoramic views, all with the feeling of a private mountain retreat. What makes this property truly special is how effortlessly the wilderness meets everyday life. In minutes, you can trade forest stillness for sought-after amenities: Durango Hot Springs just 6 minutes away, the gourmet market and hardware store at Trimble Crossing a quick 7-minute drive, and both Downtown Durango and Purgatory Ski Resort within 20 minutes. Whether you're carving powder, soaking in hot springs, or watching the alpenglow fade over the mountains from your own deck, this is the Durango lifestyle at its finest. Driveway has a new seal coat as of June 2026 (not shown in photos). New irrigation pump for automatic sprinkler system installed August 2026.
