Are you searching for Durango real estate? …with a large home?...and bordering National Forest? Then this may be the place for you. Not only does this nearly 3600 ft.² home border the San Juan National Forest on two sides, but part of the adjoining forest area is archaeologically preserved with Indian cliff dwelling burial grounds. Access to this specific area is only when guided by a Forest Ranger. The Durango area is rich in Indian history with the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings less than an hour away and of course, the Center for Southwest studies is a nationally recognized program at Fort Lewis College here in town.

Durango, Colorado real estate is the fact that over 50% of the land in La Plata County is national forest land or BLM land. It's is very typical to see herds of elk or deer in our valleys and Wild Turkey are extremely abundant as well. Most of these national forest lands are open for hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, fishing and hunting, of course. There are also miles and miles of Jeep roads suitable for ATV’ing or mountain biking… either motorized or fat tire. Whether you want outdoor activities, intellectual stimulation or just the pure Rocky Mountain splendor, real estate in Durango will put a smile on your face.

"What about the house?" you ask. This home has been meticulously maintained by its owners. Formerly the home of the president of Fort Lewis College and the current home of an international author and international attorney, you will certainly enjoy the separate office and a separate study (which could double as a nursery if you'd like). The kitchen is a delight with stainless steel appliances and slab granite countertops and there is easy access to the back deck and patio with its fire pit and beautiful gardens; the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining. The magnificent cliffs on the West side of the home offer a splendid backdrop…almost like artwork right out your door. This home has five bedrooms, (although two of them are currently used as offices) and 3 1/2 bathrooms.
The master suite is spacious and along with the study or nursery encompasses the entire top floor. Baltic Brown slab granite on separate his and her vanity areas
