About this home
Experience refined mountain living at this extraordinary La Plata River estate in Southwest Colorado, where privacy, natural beauty, and income potential converge on 35 acres with water rights. Beyond an elegant log gated entrance, the private drive crosses the river through a second gated entry and leads to a stunning log residence that seamlessly blends timeless Colorado craftsmanship with modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels rare with expansive skies, breathtaking views, and complete tranquility that create an atmosphere of exclusivity and escape. Constructed with impressive log architecture, exposed ponderosa pine beams, and solid oak flooring, the home offers warmth, character, and enduring quality. Designed to comfortably accommodate 11 guests with the loft and third non-conforming bedroom, the layout provides both privacy and versatility. The lower level functions as a private guest retreat featuring a spacious tiled living area, bedroom with walk-in closet, full bath, laundry room, kitchenette with mini bar, and wine storage, ideal for hosting extended family or vacation rental guests seeking comfort and separation. The main level showcases vaulted ceilings and expansive east-facing windows that flood the home with natural light while framing mountain views. A striking rock-surround wood-burning fireplace anchors the open living and dining spaces, creating an inviting yet sophisticated atmosphere. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with Corian countertops, custom Alder cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a Viking stove with griddle, and a large island with bar seating designed for gathering and entertaining. The primary suite offers a private sanctuary complete with a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a steam shower, jetted soaking tub, and direct access to a secluded patio with hot tub, an exceptional setting for evenings under the stars. Upstairs, the loft and large, additional room provide approximately 550 sq. Ft. of supplementary sleeping quarters along with a full bath, offering flexibility for larger groups or events. The home has previously accommodated wedding guests and special gatherings, further demonstrating its capacity as both a private estate and an entertainer’s retreat. An attached heated workshop enhances functionality while maintaining the property’s polished presentation. Outdoors, the lifestyle truly unfolds. The fenced yard connects seamlessly to a thoughtfully designed BBQ patio for entertaining, while irrigated grounds nurture lush grass, and mature trees alongside native Colorado vegetation. A lean-to barn offers shelter for horses or livestock and storage for recreational equipment. With valuable water rights from the La Plata River and Long Hollow reservoir, this property offers both scenic beauty and meaningful land value, a rare combination in today’s market. Year-round access ensures enjoyment in every season, whether soaking in the views, horseback riding, hosting events, or simply embracing the serenity of country living. Modern efficiency complements the home’s rustic elegance, with geothermal in-floor heating, forced air heat, full air conditioning, solar panels that have historically produced excess energy sold back to LPEA, a quality water well, new exterior paint in 2025, and abundant parking for RVs and boats. Beyond its lifestyle appeal, this estate is also a proven income-producing asset. Currently operated as a successful vacation rental. With no HOA and no monthly dues, this offering represents a rare opportunity to own acreage on the La Plata River in Southwest Colorado without restrictions on use. Whether envisioned as a legacy family compound, private river retreat, boutique event venue, or high-performing short-term rental investment, this property delivers luxury,...
