9064 Falls Creek, Durango, Colorado Real Estate

This is the Colorado luxury home you dream about coming home to. Authentic hand-hewn log construction harkens back to the historic west. The homeemanates the energy stored in its hardwoods, granites and slates creating a subtle glow that can only be defined as comfort. This combined with the mostexquisite design, lovingly updated by a family of antique dealers and art collectors, creates an effect that lives up to the serenity of its appearance. Thehome is built on one-acre, but is in the midst of 80 acres of open space. It's in a ranch community of homes where just 100 families own one-acre each fortheir homes, but share ownership of an additional 865 acres permanently reserved for open-space, hiking and cross-country skiing trails, equestrian andtennis facilities, a private lake for fishing and swimming, and the red rock cliffs that are a signature accoutrement to the San Juan Mountains and their glacialvalleys. Elk graze openly in clear view of the panorama afforded almost every room. Wild turkeys parade with impunity. The home lives in harmony withthe neighboring black bear (the vegetarian variety), falcons, hawks, eagles, and the omnipresent deer. This is a place where an evening on the spaciousdecks, or in the sunken spa, offer the kind of quiet contemplation of vast and starry skies, alpine meadows, and ponderosa pine only available in the fewplaces left in the west where natural beauty is still considered the primary attraction. This magnificent home is in the midst of, and was built in concert with,this natural beauty. It's about quiet when quiet is wanted, and perfectly outfitted for entertaining when the quiet begs to be filled with laughter andconversation.
