Custom-Built Mountain Retreat at Escalante Village Tiny Homes THE HOME This is not your average tiny house, double the size, designed around a park model floor plan and built by a professional contractor on a heavy-duty, semi-truck rated 15'x40' trailer, this home was made for full-time, long-term living. At 400 sqft, it doesn’t feel tiny: wide-open rooms, full-size everything, and thoughtful craftsmanship gives a premium feel with space to breathe. Dark grey vertical metal siding, high-pitched metal roof to shed snow, corrugated metal skirting, a massive 200 sqft covered Trex deck, six-inch walls throughout, proper gable and attic ventilation, quality materials, and robust construction complete a home not just built to last, but a low-maintenance cozy retreat. THE MAIN LEVEL Stepping into an open-concept living and kitchen area with high ceilings and natural light from large windows, a U-shaped kitchen layout is the heart of the home with ample counter and cabinet space, anchored by butcher block countertops, subway tile backsplash, open wood shelving, full-size cabinets, and large farmhouse sink. Included is a full suite of stainless steel Whirlpool appliances: dishwasher, glass-top stove and oven, microwave, and a split-door refrigerator/freezer with ice maker and filtered water dispenser. A dedicated laundry nook houses side-by-side front-loading Samsung washer and dryer beneath a butcher block counter and cabinets above. At the back is a separate flex room with built-in cabinets, shelving, and a large wall-to-wall closet offers a versatile space that adapts to your needs, whether that's a workspace, nursery, guest room, or primary bedroom. The spacious bathroom makes you forget you're in a tiny house, with a deep soaking tub/shower and a full vanity with counter space. Behind the door, you'll find thoughtful built-in shelves and a nook for cleaning items. With Lifeproof vinyl plank flooring throughout, high-end black-framed Andersen Windows, tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, and crisp white shiplap walls, this home has a premium feel and reliable weatherization. THE LOFT The staircase with integrated storage boxes leads to a giant loft bedroom spanning the full 15-foot width of the trailer at 15x10 feet, comfortably fits a king-size bed with room to spare. The raised roofline provides nearly 5 feet of clearance, enough to squat and move freely, versus the typical crawl-space loft. Two windows provide natural light and cross-ventilation, with extra insulation in the floor for sound dampening. SYSTEMS & EXTRAS Every system was chosen for reliability and low maintenance. The entire house runs on electric, eliminating the need to fill a propane system. A heat/AC mini-split handles year-round climate control efficiently. An instant on demand water heater. A whole-house water filtration system ensures clean water at every tap and eliminates mineral build up. Every window has full-coverage Levolor wood blinds. High-speed fiber optic internet (AlignTec) is available in the village. Two designated parking spots sit directly in front of the home. Included is a queen bedframe platform, barstools, fitted curtains, and remaining build materials. THE LOCATION Escalante Village tiny home community sits directly on the Animas River trail, a paved path running all the way into downtown Durango. Directly across the road is immediate access to the extensive Horse Gulch trail network for hiking and mountain biking. Grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and a bus top are a short walk away. Monthly Costs: $800 lot rent + $50 flat-rate for water/sewer/trash (LPEA electric and Internet are billed separately). On-site storage units are available to rent for all your outdoor gear, bikes, skis, and more. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey home in a community where spots are hard to come by, bypassing all the zoning and parking challenges that complicate tiny living.
