A spacious 30 x 60 heated metal workshop with 12 ton lift provides ample room for an RV, equipment, or recreational gear, while a detached garage adds even more storage and workspace. The land itself offers room to garden on the grounds or using the attached greenhouse, keep horses, or simply enjoy the peace and beauty of the outdoors. With year-round access via a county-maintained road and just a short drive from Durango, this retreat offers both seclusion and convenience. Best of all, the property consists of four separate parcels, presenting a range of opportunities for future development, investment, or personal use. The property has water rights on the La Plata River which allows for irrigation of gardens and lawn.

Welcome to 351 Cherry Gulch Rd. Just five minutes from downtown Durango on a 48.7 acre lot, a rare post-and-beam straw bale home has been created according to the guiding principles of Feng Shui and the golden mean (1-1.68). The bathrooms and indoor jacuzzi are located on the north side (the turtle) and the south side opens out to a huge vista (the phoenix). The home is designed on Frank Lloyd Wright's organic architectural style of bringing the outdoors in, open floor plans, built-in furniture, natural materials and horizontal lines. This inviting sanctuary has a solar panel system as well as passive solar from its amazing southern exposure and tile mass, supplemented by radiant in-floor heat. Two gas fireplaces provide even more warmth in the den and master bedroom. The gorgeous kitchen, open to the sunken living room and centered around a butcher block island, has solid cherry cabinetry, concrete counters, an induction stove, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A part of the counter brilliantly transforms into a pop-up artist's easel complete with a set of narrow multi-purpose drawers in front of a circular window. The pantry is so generous it could double as an art studio, and a mud room keeps the outdoors separate from the living area. A full bath on the main level connects to the laundry room and den. Two spacious bedrooms and a full bath upstairs are surrounded by windows with forever views from this property's perch on a ridge of Ponderosa Pines. A deck leads off the master bedroom with gloriously long views. And no matter where you are in this beautiful home, you'll be under the protective eyes of thunderbirds and other symbols subtly incorporated throughout. This is a true artist's haven, yet anyone would feel at home here.
