An elegant Animas Valley waterfront estate nestled along Coon Creek with unobstructed Engineer Mountain views, offering all of the privacy you desire. This legacy property is ideally situated near Durango, Purgatory ski resort, nearby markets, trails, and hot springs. This beautifully designed Ralph Masterson-constructed home has been impeccably maintained by its original owners and is set upon an expansive 35-acre parcel with private ponds, live year-round water flowing along "the little Animas", also known as Coon Creek, and more irrigation than you can imagine. The timeless design features large windows, a main-level primary suite complete with a private sitting area, three spacious upstairs bedroom suites, and 9' ceilings to allow for an expansive feel. An open, light-filled layout connects the living room, den, and kitchen, which capture views of the mountains, pond, Coon Creek, and Missionary Ridge. Some of the many highlights on the main level include three wood-burning fireplaces, a gorgeous mahogany staircase, beautifully honed granite counters, high-end appliances, expansive laundry and pantry areas, and an oversized three-car garage. Upstairs, you’ll also find an office area surrounded by windows, a spacious sitting area, and an additional 800+ sq ft of unfinished space above the garage. A wrap-around deck offers a peaceful outdoor retreat. The serene surroundings include walking paths along the year-round flowing Coon Creek, through gorgeous meadows, scenic ponds, irrigated grounds, and a fenced pasture ideal for animals. A truly exceptional property showcasing quality design and craftsmanship, standing the test of time and offering a perfect blend of privacy, views in a unique setting, with proximity to town.
