A Rare River Ranch & Alpine Legacy bordering San Juan National Forest Nestled in a storybook alpine setting beneath the towering majesty of Baldy Peak, this once-in-a-lifetime mountain sanctuary offers a dramatic fusion of rugged wilderness and refined living. With commanding views of the La Plata Mountains and golden aspens whispering in the breeze, this is not just a property—it’s a private world unto itself. Year round La Plata River threads through the land, its crystal waters teeming with trout—perfect for casting a fly rod in the solitude of your own backyard. Wildlife is abundant and ever-present—deer, elk, bear, and eagles roam freely, painting the landscape with wild, untamed beauty. And yet, despite its pristine, secluded feel, the entire estate is fully accessible by a paved county road and lies just 15 minutes from the charm and culture of historic downtown Durango, Colorado. At the heart of the property stands a beautifully crafted main home, where rustic elegance meets modern comfort. Nearby, a guest home and two cozy cabins provide warm hospitality for family or visitors. The expansive lodge and retreat center—ideal for gatherings, creative workshops, or wellness escapes—adds unmatched versatility to this mountain haven. A horse barn with corrals caters to equestrian dreams, while endless trails and open spaces invite exploration on foot or horseback. Whether you’re drawn by the world-class trout fishing, the painterly views, the vibrant fall foliage, or the tranquil sounds of the forest, this alpine estate is unlike anything else on the market. Here, nature cooks in color, life slows down, and every sunrise feels like a masterpiece. A true Colorado jewel, ready to be your private retreat, family legacy, or exclusive mountain getaway.
