Nestled in the picturesque Lakewood subdivision, this captivating log cabin mountain getaway provides a harmonious blend of timeless charm, exceptional craftsmanship, and natural splendor. Located just 10 minutes from Purgatory Ski Resort and 20 minutes from historic downtown Durango, this haven in the pines provides boundless possibilities. Beautifully crafted by the seller, the home’s original owner, the custom furniture, cabinets, and built-ins exude quality. Constructed in 1994, the rustic charm of the dead standing spruce logs, dried by nature prior to construction, adds character to the home's exterior and interior. Warmth emanates from a real wood-burning fireplace nestled within a local moss rock surround, creating a cozy atmosphere for gatherings. The kitchen boasts new quartz countertops, complemented by stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher installed in 2024. Soaring vaulted ceilings frame panoramic views, with thoughtful window placement bringing in abundant natural light and vistas of the majestic cliffs, which you can also enjoy from the spacious deck leading out from the living room. Pine floors and the tranquility of its private location amidst stunning natural surroundings complete the inviting ambiance. The main floor features a welcoming air-lock entry mudroom with slate tiles and built-in cabinetry, perfect for storing goods and gear. In total, the house sleeps eight. There are two main level bedrooms, one with twin beds and a desk, and a second with queen bed, handcrafted blanket chest, and armoire. Both bedrooms are oriented to take in the private views to the back of the property. Sleeping arrangements also include a queen size sleeper couch. The primary suite upstairs has thoughtfully designed built-in drawers, cabinets, and a spacious walk-in closet. The office loft offers a serene workspace illuminated by a skylight. The unfinished 1200 square-foot basement provides a laundry area, ample storage, and room for toys, such as a snowmobile or ATV, complete with garage doors that swing open for easy access. Additional features include a large-capacity Marathon water heater, Lennox furnace, and new dryer. The property also hosts an insulated detached garage/workshop with wood floors, a loft space, and 220V power, which could be converted to a guesthouse. With its log home aesthetic, metal roof, and a prepped pad for a carport, this property blends rustic charm with modern convenience. This home is offered fully furnished and could be a vacation rental investment opportunity (see attached revenue projection analysis from VRC). The adjacent 1-acre parcel, also owned by the sellers, provides further potential for expansion or preservation of the captivating surroundings. With its low road maintenance agreement of approximately $900/year, which includes snow removal on the roads and driveways, this never-before offered home is a must-see for anyone seeking a meticulously maintained, handcrafted mountain retreat. Act swiftly to seize this rare opportunity, as it is sure to appeal to discerning buyers seeking a harmonious blend of luxury and natural splendor.
