Katherine Maureen O'Leary, Wells Group Real Estate, C:,,: This is what coming home to Colorado is supposed to feel like. Mountain views stretch across the horizon, wide open space surrounds you and the rest of the world feels wonderfully far away, yet downtown Durango is just 25 minutes from your door.

Warm, inviting and anything but cookie cutter, this Kogan built home exudes character, scale and thoughtful designer touches throughout. At its heart, a welcoming chef's kitchen opens to an extraordinary living room where a massive stone fireplace anchors the space and expansive windows put the La Plata Mountains on full display.

The views are breathtaking, ever changing and impossible to ignore. Even the dining room gets in on the scenery, overlooking gorgeous flower gardens with the mountains rising beyond. The scale of the home makes it equally suited for everyday living and a house full of guests.

5 generously sized bedrooms, all with en-suite baths, give everyone room to settle in, while three additional flex rooms currently serve as an office, gym and art/play room. Work, create, exercise or add a media room. There's space to make it your own and enjoy the views from nearly every bedroom.

The current exercise room and fifth bedroom offer separation of space with a private entrance off of the mudroom. And then there's room for everything else. An attached 3-car garage, detached 2-car garage with 100 amp service, and an insulated workshop, approximately 38' x 60', with 200 amp service, a two car garage door and a 14' tall garage door to accommodate RVs, boats, ATVs, bikes and all the gear that comes with Colorado living.

Outside, the property becomes your playground. Hike, bike and roam, take in the gardens, entertain against a mountain backdrop, gather around the fire pit, or sink into the 15' x 8' oversized spa as the sun slips behind the peaks. The raised bed gardens, lush grass and perennial garden beds are serviced by automatic sprinklers for ease.

There is room here to live, work, gather and play, with the space and privacy to do it all on your own terms. Radiant in-floor heat provides comfort throughout the colder months. The well is serviced by a commercial grade reverse osmosis system and UV sterilization system.

As a bonus, there is also a water tap installed. Private yet convenient to Durango, this is a property that offers something increasingly hard to find: incredible versatility, true breathing room and a setting that makes an impression every single day. And through it all, those magnificent La Plata Mountain views steal the show.
