Max T Hutcheson, The Wells Group of Durango, LLC, C: 970-769-7392, [email protected], http://maxhutcheson.com/: Here's your ultimate riverfront, Colorado mountain retreat! A perfect combination of rustic log cabin feel with modern updates. The large gated entrance leads you through the property, across the river up to the home. (The home sleeps 8 inside, but 2 of the bedrooms are non-conforming. The seller is willing to make the 2 bedrooms conforming should a buyer want that done).  The core is built from log construction with exposed ponderosa pine beams paired with solid oak flooring. Enter on the lower level into the large, tiled living space/family room with a bedroom with a walk-in closet, full bathroom, laundry room, kitchenette/mini bar, and wine storage. Up the spiral staircase is the main level featuring vaulted ceilings, a large covered wrap around deck, rock surround wood burning fireplace, open kitchen/living area, and a 3/4 bathroom. The kitchen is equipped with Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a Viking stove with griddle), custom alder cabinets, and large basin sink in the island which also provides bar seating. The cozy living room area is across from the dining area near a plethora of east facing windows for morning light, expansive views, and the wrap around deck. On the main level, you can also find the primary suite featuring a spacious walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom including a walk-in steam shower and jetted soaking tub. The primary bedroom also has direct access to a private back patio area with a hot tub. Upstairs, the loft area provides additional living/sleeping space with a full bath and access to a large covered, and enclosed, back deck. In the past the sellers have hosted weddings, and had guests sleep in this area. As you exit the home there is an attached heated workshop, perfect for storage and your projects. The outdoor living opportunities continue with a BBQ patio area that connects to the expansive and fenced yard. Sprinklers in the yard allow the pear and plum trees to flourish alongside other native flora. Towards the pasture you will find a lean-to barn providing shelter for horses and livestock, or space for storage, toys, workspace, etc. Additional home features include: geothermal in-floor heating, forced air heat, full air conditioning, solar panels (historically enough to sell back to LPEA), good water well, new paint (2025), plenty of parking for RV/boats, and 20 irrigated acres with water rights from the La Plata River and Long Hollow. With year-round access, this is a great opportunity to live the Colorado lifestyle.
