Discover the perfect balance of Southwest character and modern design in this stunning home, set on 13 private acres within the coveted Deer Island Preserve. Just minutes from town yet worlds away in feel, this property offers access to the Animas River, a shared pond with a sandy beach, and unmatched privacy surrounded by nature. Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully curated. Heated stained concrete floors and expansive windows fill the interior with warmth and natural light, while the open-concept kitchen is truly the heart of the home. With granite counters, a butler’s pantry, a wine fridge, and a layout built for entertaining, it flows seamlessly into dining and living spaces that invite relaxation. One living room frames big-sky views through picture windows and features a cozy corner wood stove, while the other opens to a private patio designed for evenings under the stars. The primary suite on the main level is a retreat of its own, with a spa-inspired tiled shower and a generous walk-in closet. A second bedroom and full bath complete the downstairs area, while upstairs offers even more possibilities: a guest suite with a steam shower, plus a flexible open room that can serve as an office, workout space, or media room. Step onto the rooftop deck for sweeping southern views and nightly sunsets. Recent updates bring comfort and peace of mind, including a new boiler, water softener, LED lighting, speaker system, alarm with night vision, heated garage floor, and much more. Sustainability is built in, too, with a solar/thermal system powered by five panels on the roof and 18 panels on the shed, which help offset utilities. The garage has a new Tesla charger. Outdoors, you’ll find rock-lined walking paths, desert-friendly landscaping, and gardens framed by native trees. The shared pond is ideal for fishing, swimming, or paddleboarding, complete with a comprehensive sprinkler system for irrigation. To make this offering even more remarkable, the property comes with an assumable VA loan at just 2.9% interest—a rare opportunity in today’s market.
