247 Scotch Creek Drive, Durango, CO 81301

Located in a gated community just five minutes from Purgatory Resort, this home was carefully crafted and thoughtfully designed. Situated in a grove of towering aspen trees, the warm exterior welcomes you with an artful blend of stucco, stone, and wood siding as well as a perfect blend of flowers and shrubs that tie in seamlessly with the surrounding natural landscape. Once inside, you will be greeted by an open floor plan, with the focal point being the vaulted ceilings and the massive wood beams, as well as the wall of windows that face the incredible views through the aspens of the Twilight Peaks and Needles to the northeast. In addition, there is a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace surround, and the stone complements the alder doors and trim and the rustic hardwood floors that extend throughout the main level living area. The kitchen features alder custom cabinetry and granite countertops, and is open to the living and dining areas, making this the perfect place for gatherings of your friends and family. Also on the main level is the primary suite, which has a five-piece bath, walk-in closet, and private deck. On the upper level, you will find two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom, as well as a loft area and a home office, which could potentially be configured to add another bedroom in order to accommodate more guests. Soak up sunny afternoons and peaceful evenings on the deck while enjoying the sounds of the quaking Aspens as you relax and look out at the dramatic views. With nearby access to world class skiing and fun summer activities at Purgatory Resort, hiking and mountain biking trails, championship golf, fishing, and many other year-round activities, this is the perfect base camp for all of your mountain recreation and is also well-suited for a primary residence. The gated community with paved roads and central utilities are a rare find and only add to the appeal of this location.
