About this home
Nestled at the end of Lightner Creek Road within the exclusive gated Destination Ranch community—made famous as the filming location for the movie City Slickers—this extraordinary mountain retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience just minutes from downtown Durango. Surrounded by vast national forest lands with exceptional access, the property is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring outstanding elk hunting and abundant wildlife including elk, mule deer, bear, and wild turkey. The landscape is truly exceptional. Hopkins Creek flows through the property, feeding a scenic pond and irrigating lush meadows through valuable deeded water rights. Towering aspens, mature pines, and park-like grounds create a breathtaking alpine setting, while the exclusive gated entrance and end-of-the-road location provide unparalleled privacy and seclusion. Inside, the custom home is designed to showcase its magnificent surroundings. Enjoy 3 bedrooms and a separate office. Expansive Low-E windows frame stunning mountain and meadow views, while custom oak hardwood flooring, vaulted pine tongue-and-groove ceilings, and a freestanding wood stove create a warm mountain-lodge atmosphere. The open floor plan is ideal for entertaining, and the kitchen features slate tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, and quality finishes throughout. Generous outdoor living spaces invite you to relax and enjoy the serenity of this remarkable setting. A standout feature is the newly constructed 64' x 50' heated shop and RV garage with 1200 SF guest apartment upstairs. Built with highly efficient SIPS construction, the clear-span interior offers approximately 15-foot ceilings with no interior support columns, creating exceptional storage and workspace flexibility. Oversized doors accommodate RVs, boats, trailers, and equipment with ease. Above the shop is a beautifully finished studio with a full bath, heat pump system, gas fireplace, and additional storage space. The property is further enhanced by a premium 23.3-kW solar system, the maximum size currently permitted by LPEA, providing outstanding energy efficiency and long-term value. Properties offering this level of privacy, recreational access, water rights, wildlife habitat, and quality improvements rarely become available. This is a unique opportunity to own one of Durango's most spectacular mountain retreats....
