Find private Colorado living in this expansive Shenandoah retreat. Nestled in the tall pines, the grand home welcomes you to the impressive property with the La Plata Mountains as the backdrop. Inside, you'll immediately notice the stunning stone work and exposed log beams bringing the outside in. The living room directly in front is sunken and features a gas fireplace creating a cozy area. A big picture window perfectly frames the views of the La Platas to the north. In the kitchen, tile counters, floors, and backsplash complement the custom wood cabinets and stainless steel appliances. You will have ample counter space including the large island, with a bar sink, and more. A formal dining room is just a few steps away that also provides more storage and picture windows. On the other side of the kitchen, there's a large second living space brightened with a generous amount of natural light that fills the vaulted ceilings. From here, there's access to the main patio area boasting a covered, built-in outdoor kitchen and dining space. Follow the stamped concrete to the custom half circle seating area around the gas fire pit plus another picnic area for the perfect summer night. Back inside, the primary suite is on the main level offering an ensuite bath with a double vanity, wash closet, tiled shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. The floor is complete with an office/library/den, 3/4 bath, multiple closet/storage spaces, and the laundry room with added cabinets and sink. There is access to the three car attached garage which has plenty of parking, storage, work area, and floor drains for convenience. Upstairs, there are three more bedrooms, one with a private covered deck, and a shared full bath. This home also offers a water softener, heat & cool mini splits (boiler on hot water only), concrete shingle roof, and attic storage. The 6+ acre lot is fenced for dogs and livestock, a separate fenced garden area, and plenty of usable acreage to add a barn or other outbuildings. Shenandoah includes paved road access, road maintenance, and central water all just eight miles southwest of town. Truly capturing the best parts of Durango living, let this home be the basecamp for all of your Southwest Colorado adventures.
