About This Property

A property of this caliber is rarely offered — a once-in-a-lifetime estate where the majesty of the Animas Valley meets unparalleled design, privacy, and lifestyle. Set on more than 37 breathtaking acres, this riverfront sanctuary captures the very soul of Colorado living with panoramic 360° views of the valley’s legendary red cliffs, emerald pastures, and private access to the sparkling waters of the Animas River. From the moment you arrive, the setting is nothing short of spectacular. A quarter mile of private river frontage, complete with a secluded sandy beach and winding trails, offers endless moments of serenity and adventure.

An expansive private pond with its own beach, pergola, and full outdoor kitchen creates an entertainer’s dreamscape, where evenings stretch into nights beneath a canopy of stars. The residence itself is a masterpiece of craftsmanship - timeless yet bold, rustic yet refined. Reclaimed wood beams from the historic Great Salt Lake train trestles, authentic Chicago brick, and cold-rolled steel accents anchor the home in history while exuding sophistication. Inside, soaring living spaces unfold with effortless grace, framed by accordion glass doors that dissolve boundaries between indoors and out.

Every detail speaks to luxury: the home is appointed with Restoration Hardware fixtures and lighting, Recessed Lutron Shades for every window, Cambria stone counters, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, cubed ice machine, two commanding stone fireplaces, and a private theater den for indulgent evenings. The primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with a spa-like bath featuring handmade artisanal floor-to-ceiling Italian tile, heated floors, a steam shower, and a soaking tub designed for pure relaxation with unmatched views of the valley. For those looking to expand, design and forethought provide an opportunity for a guest house to easily be added in a strategic location where the oversized utilities that were put in place are stubbed out and ready to tap into, sized to accommodate a luxurious 2 bedroom private residence for guests. Equestrian pursuits are elevated here to a level rarely seen.

Seven irrigated paddocks, a mare barn with foaling stalls, pristine loafing sheds, a professional riding arena, and miles of horse-safe fencing create a haven for riders. Over 20 acres of lush alfalfa fields, fed by premier water rights, bring both beauty and sustainability to this extraordinary property. And yet, despite the sweeping privacy and serene atmosphere, this estate is 2 minutes from some of Durango's favorite restaurants and just 10 minutes from the heart of downtown Durango, where abundant world-class dining and culture await. This is more than a home.

It is an unparalleled legacy estate — a place to gather, to celebrate, to retreat, and to connect with nature’s most stunning landscapes. Quite simply, it is one of the most remarkable riverfront properties ever to be offered in the Animas Valley.
