About This Property
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the La Plata Mountains, 71 MorningStar Drive is a remarkable custom mountain property, offering refined Colorado living on 35 acres in a private gated community. Thoughtfully positioned to capture sweeping alpine vistas, this exceptional 4,368-square-foot residence blends timeless mountain architecture with the serenity and beauty of Southwest Colorado. Located just 9 miles from historic downtown Durango and only 10 miles from Lake Nighthorse, the property offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, convenience, and year-round recreation. Designed for both grand entertaining and relaxed everyday living, the home features five bedrooms and five bathrooms, set upon a picturesque landscape that invites itself indoors.
The dramatic great room is anchored by soaring vaulted ceilings and an impressive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, creating a warm gathering space filled with natural light and unforgettable mountain views. Two expansive decks extend the living space outdoors, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee as the sun rises over the mountains, evening dinners beneath Colorado's endless skies, or simply taking in the quiet beauty of the landscape. The acreage is richly forested with mature ponderosa pines, native pinion, juniper and oak; creating a peaceful, park-like setting that offers both privacy and a true connection to nature. Wildlife sightings and the changing seasons become part of everyday life in this extraordinary mountain sanctuary.
With room to expand, this property offers exceptional versatility. Zoning permits a guest house and barn, making it ideal for horses, hobby farming, or creating your custom estate. Whether serving as a full-time residence or a luxurious mountain retreat, this exceptional property embodies the very best of the Durango lifestyle. With easy access to downtown dining, shopping, and cultural attractions, as well as boating and recreation at Lake Nighthorse, this is a rare opportunity to own an estate where breathtaking scenery, exceptional privacy, and timeless mountain elegance come together in perfect harmony.
