About This Property

Welcome to Sambella Ranch: A Gentleman's Ranch and Ultra Legacy Estate located on the exclusive "Gold Coast" in the heart of the Animas Valley; where an Identity, Experience and Luxury asset are ready to be purchased. Designed for ownership with careful attention to every detail and thought, there truly is no equivalent combining lifestyle, capability, and stewardship. Located only 15 minutes north of Durango, Sambella Ranch consists of 6 structures on 2 deeded parcels combining 33,057 sqft of conditioned space ideally located on 33 meticulously maintained manicured acres with Animas River frontage, lush lawns, multiple ponds, professional landscaping, and 3 paved entrances. Tall Maples, Cottonwoods, Aspens, and Ponderosa scape the idyllic property constructed for a true Colorado experience.

The water rights that transfer with Sambella Ranch ensure any oasis or design can become reality. 360-degree views of surrounding mountains, red cliffs, and valley floors inspire and encompass every vantage point on Sambella Ranch. Now let's dive in! The newly constructed Mountain Modern home was designed by Joe Sebestyen and brought to life by Max Wanaka with San Juan Custom Builders, finishing touches added by Certified Master Woodwork Craftsman Jack Livingston.

Upon front door entrance, you are immediately stunned by the 4 custom hand carved arched beams framing the vast tongue and groove Douglas Fir ceilings in which both extend to the exterior, 6 arched beams in total. Dripping in the space above, 3 chandeliers add the vibrancy to the open Living, Dining, and Kitchen area. 17 different roof pitches were designed on this split wing floor plan, with the goal to create spaces that you weren't expecting. The arched doorways continue the theme throughout and the handpicked stone from Vail was used to arch the 2-way stone fireplace from Living room to office/den.

The office is decorated with a live edge dual desk, one slab cherry wood from Ohio. The Primary suite opens to a covered patio with pond and on demand waterfall. Elegant 5-piece Primary attached bath includes Volcanic ash tub, dual vanity, walk in glass shower with splash tile that is continuous throughout, and custom walk-in closet. Luxury appliance package in the Kitchen includes 2 panel-built Sub-Zero refrigerators, Sub-Zero wine fridge, Wolfe Range/Oven, warming drawer, 4 panel fridge drawers, 2 panel-built dishwashers, and microwave drawer.

All 4 guest beds with attached ensuite bathrooms are individually unique with finishes. Powder bath on lower level and upper level adjacent to movie theater. The experience to the upper level begins with a ride up the Stiltz electronic elevator or up the grand staircase with custom ornamental wrought iron railing hand forged by Monarch Ornamental Railings. Stepping in to the movie theater is literally breath taking as the sound is immediately absorbed in the flooring and walls.
