Description
Riverfront homes like this don't come along often. Set on three beautifully landscaped acres with water rights and 225 ft of Animas River frontage, this luxury retreat on coveted Ruins Road brings peaceful, country living just 5 minutes from Aztec and 40 minutes from Durango. Watch the sunrise over morning coffee on the front porch, unwind in the riverside gazebo, and end your evening with a soak in the hot tub. This is riverfront living at its finest. The 2,998-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath home blends warmth and style with a beautiful rock fireplace, real wooden accents, and a kitchen featuring custom white cabinetry and granite countertops. With an oversized primary bedroom, two lofts, and a separate office flex space offer room to relax, create, and work from home. An expansive wraparound concrete patio with stainless-steel railings, rock accents, and a retractable awning sets the stage for memorable gatherings. Lush lawns, mature trees, and an illuminated rock stream and water feature surround you with beauty. With Farmer's Ditch water rights, an irrigation well, and in-ground sprinklers, the grounds are equipped to thrive. The private well supplies water for landscape irrigation and gardening, while Northstar Community Water provides domestic water to the home. Bring your projects and your toys, the 1,750-square-foot heated, insulated workshop offers three bay doors, including a 14-foot oversized garage door. A generous concrete driveway and two additional powered outbuildings provide valuable parking, storage, and workspace. An all-season casita with heating, cooling, and its own porch welcomes guests in comfort. Steps from the Animas River, and approximately 15 minutes from Farmington, 40 minutes from Durango, 40 minutes to Navajo Lake, and the San Juan River, and only 60 minutes from Purgatory Resort, this is your home base for year-round adventure. Space to breathe. Room to pursue your passions. A riverfront lifestyle to make your own.
