A Place to Live. A Lifestyle to Love. Set on 4.79 private acres in the breathtaking Pine River Valley, this exceptional custom estate offers a rare opportunity to experience Colorado luxury where craftsmanship, functionality, and the outdoors exist in perfect harmony. From the moment you arrive, it's clear this property was designed for the way people actually live. A beautifully crafted custom home is paired with an impressive 43' x 40' heated shop with radiant in-floor heat, creating a property that serves equally well as a private mountain retreat, a hobby farm, or the ideal base for collectors, craftsmen, entrepreneurs, and outdoor enthusiasts. Inside the home, timeless craftsmanship meets thoughtful design. Rich hardwood flooring, oversized argon-filled windows, and custom sapele mahogany cabinetry create a warm, inviting atmosphere filled with natural light. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen was designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring granite countertops, premium ZLINE professional appliances including a professional gas range and double wall ovens, a spacious walk-in pantry, and custom dual pull-out spice racks that bring beauty and function together. One of the home's most memorable features is the custom built-in aquarium, elegantly positioned between the office and living room. More than simply an accent piece, it creates a living work of art that brings movement, color, and tranquility into both spaces while serving as a natural conversation piece for guests. The main-level primary suite offers a private escape with French doors opening directly onto the patio, a spacious walk-in closet, dual vanities, matching granite throughout, tile flooring, a beautifully finished walk-in shower, and plumbing already in place for a future soaking tub. Offering three bedrooms, a dedicated office, and an expansive loft, the flexible floor plan adapts effortlessly to your needs. The loft could easily become an additional primary suite, private guest retreat, or multigenerational living space. The property is also level and easy to expand if you are ready for a future guest home, another detached garage, or ADU. Designed with efficiency as much as luxury in mind, the home features a Zehnder whole-house fresh air filtration system, Halo whole-house water filtration, Navien on-demand hot water, multiple mini-split heating and cooling systems, fiber internet, Starlink capability, a wood-burning stove, and a productive private well. The outdoor improvements are equally impressive. The professionally designed landscaping includes Three Honey Locust and Two Flash fire Maple trees, drip irrigation serving the trees and planter boxes, and a four-zone irrigation system. A detached livestock shelter, chicken coop, concrete patios, attached two-car garage, and multiple fenced areas provide outstanding versatility whether your vision includes a few horses, chickens, gardening, or simply enjoying wide-open Colorado living. Located just minutes from Bayfield while offering convenient access to Vallecito Lake, the Pine River, National Forest, hiking, fishing, boating, and historic Durango, this remarkable property captures everything buyers seek in Southwest Colorado: exceptional craftsmanship, modern infrastructure, acreage, expansion potential, and a lifestyle that's increasingly difficult to find. A place to live. A lifestyle to love.
