Engineer Mountain views from this three story home in a private setting with tall spruce and Aspen trees all around. This is way more than the "cabin in the woods". The minute you drive up to the home you will recognize the quality with the multi-leveled covered redwood deck and entryway that greets you. The home is a little over 2000 ft.˛ but there are 1500 ft.˛ of covered decks, so it lives much larger. Ideally situated in the "Know Your Neighbor" subdivision off of Lime Creek Rd., the property lies east of Cascade Village and just a couple of miles from Durango Mountain Resort. There are two adjoining lots totaling a little over 3 acres. Keep them both for extra privacy or sell one of the lots to help lower your investment. The San Juan National Forest is all around the subdivision and you can enjoy hiking or mountain biking on Lime Creek Road. Climb to the top of Engineer Mountain which is just across Highway 550… what a view! Perhaps you would like to hike to Spud Lake or maybe take a day trip and follow Cascade Creek all the way down to the Animas River and watch the train go by. Be sure to throw your line in the water because Cascade Creek is known for some really good brookies and cutthroat trout. Obviously, in the wintertime you could ski at Purgatory but you can also go snowmobiling up Lime Creek Road (before they built Highway 550, that was the road to Silverton!) The home contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms and is being sold with most of the furniture and some of the furnishings. Be sure to request the list. After a day full of the many activities our area provides, you'll enjoy walking up several steps onto the enormous covered deck on the way to the main entrance. It is a great feeling to kick off your shoes or boots and then go inside and walk on the heated stone floors. Immediately your eyes are drawn to the light, bright living room with nearly 20 foot tall floor-to-ceiling windows that add a "picture frame" to our fabulous scenery. You won't need art on the wall when you have "art" out every window. This is truly a great room that is used for entertaining with a very open feel from the dining room which opens to the kitchen and living area. Whether you are having a family game night or simply reading quietly, the freestanding wood stove in the corner is sure to keep you warm on those chilly Colorado nights. The radiant in-floor heat not only heats the home evenly, but you can walk barefoot on the natural stone and hardwood floors and be toasty warm. If you have never experienced that on your feet… well , you just don't know what you're missing. The kitchen features distressed pine cabinets with natural stone countertops and even an eat-in breakfast bar so you can grab a quick bite before you hit the slopes for the day. There is a loft bedroom (a bathroom has been pre-plumbed in the closet) as well as two bedrooms and a bathroom on the lower level. As you step out onto the covered back deck you take in a gorgeous view of Engineer Mountain. Your biggest decision in this getaway may be which deck to sit on: morning coffee on one and evening cocktails on the other, perhaps. The current owners have used this home as a vacation rental and as their "Durango retreat" from their work lives.
