Description
Located in the scenic landscapes of Hesperus, this exceptional 35± acre property features a 2,251 square foot log home that combines privacy, functionality, and expansive mountain views. Positioned at the top of a hill, the home captures sweeping 360-degree vistas, showcasing the surrounding terrain and distant peaks of the La Plata Mountains and the Eastern San Juan Range. The elevated setting provides a commanding perspective rarely found in Southwest Colorado. This well-built log home includes three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, with a layout designed for both comfort and efficiency. The main-floor master suite allows for convenient living, while the interior features warm wood finishes, open gathering spaces, and large windows that frame the surrounding landscape. Natural light fills the home, enhancing the connection to the outdoors. The finished basement expands the usable living space and includes two bonus rooms that can be adapted for a variety of uses such as additional sleeping areas, office space, or recreational rooms. This flexibility supports both full-time living and seasonal use. A two-car attached garage adds practicality with secure parking and storage. Outdoor living is a central highlight of the property. The wrap-around porch offers North, West and East-facing views, providing a comfortable space to take in sunrises, sunsets, changing weather patterns, and local wildlife. From this vantage point, the property’s elevated location truly stands out, offering unobstructed views in every direction. The land itself spans 35 acres and is bordered on three sides by the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, creating a unique setting with limited neighboring development. This positioning enhances privacy and preserves the natural character of the area. The property also includes frontage along the La Plata River, located just across Highway 140, offering access to live water for fishing and recreation. Situated approximately 30 minutes from both Durango and Farmington, the property provides a balance between seclusion and accessibility. Residents can enjoy rural living while still being within reach of shopping, dining, healthcare, and regional services. The surrounding region is well-known for its outdoor opportunities, including hunting, hiking, and exploring nearby public lands. Wildlife is frequently observed throughout the area, adding to the property's appeal for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a connection to nature. This 35-acre property offers a strong opportunity for buyers looking for a primary residence, vacation home, or long-term investment in Southwest Colorado. With its hilltop setting, expansive views, river access, and proximity to key towns, it delivers a combination of features that are increasingly difficult to find.
