Property Description

Crafted with the vision of an artist and the expertise of a master timber-frame builder, this one-of-a-kind home beautifully blends natural materials, exceptional craftsmanship, and an extraordinary setting. Nestled beside federal lands and just a stone’s throw from Navajo Lake and nearby hiking trails, the property offers breathtaking views of Navajo Lake, Pagosa Peak, Chimney Rock, and the surrounding mountain landscape. Whether you're an avid fisherman or boater, someone who treasures the peace and quiet of country living, or simply looking for a stunning retreat within commuting distance of Durango, Ignacio, and Pagosa Springs, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy, recreation, and convenience. Built with natural and locally sourced materials, the home showcases on-site handcrafted adobe block, natural plaster, stone, granite, travertine, and beautiful custom woodworking throughout. Exposed timber framing, handcrafted cabinetry, and thoughtfully designed built-ins highlight the exceptional attention to detail found in every room. Included are the TV, soundbar and the pantry cabinet. Designed for both comfort and efficiency, the home features passive solar design, a grid-tied solar photovoltaic system, and solar hydronic in-floor heating in both the home and the garage, resulting in remarkably low operating costs. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with two covered patios—providing the perfect space to enjoy three seasons of outdoor living. The professionally landscaped grounds feature native and water-wise plants supported by sprinkler irrigation, while adobe walls help protect the gardens from visiting wildlife. The property also includes six shares of valuable Pine River Canal water rights. The heated two-car garage (676 square feet) offers additional flexibility and could potentially be converted into extra living space. Additional highlights include reclaimed Douglas fir, cherry, and redwood finishes and built-ins, travertine and concrete flooring, leathered granite kitchen countertops, custom wood-framed windows with Grizzly stone sills, and beautiful plaster walls throughout.
