With private HOA access to the Animas River just steps from your back door, enjoy casting a line, floating gently, or simply soaking in mountain views from a low-maintenance custom home designed for easy living. Located on one of the premium lots in The Cove Subdivision, this 2100 sf, 3-bedroom, 2-bath custom home features surreal mountain views and backs to nearly 30 acres of park-like open space adjacent to the Animas River. Bonuses include a large multi use loft, air conditioning, and a heated 2-car garage with 9’ doors featuring plenty of room for your toys and workspace. Custom-designed with accessibility in mind, the home’s main living spaces and bedrooms are all located on the first floor, featuring a threshold-free layout for smooth room-to-room transitions and eliminating trip hazards.  You’ll enjoy stunning views from the home and its expansive back deck/covered patio, complete with easy maintenance composite decking.  Entertaining grandkids or lots of guests? The oversized upstairs loft could be used as is, or converted to a playful bunk room, spacious guest area, future enclosed bedroom suite, office or exercise area.  Other perks include lush landscaping with a sprinkler system supplied by HOA water rights and a gas grill hook up. The Cove is a prime location with exceptional water rights, resulting in a lush and “green experience” not often found in Durango. The Cove enjoys direct proximity to Dalton Ranch Golf Club, and is located between downtown Durango and the recreational destinations to the north, including Glacier Club and Purgatory Ski Resort. This special property is as much about the beautiful home as it is about the desirable lot, lush views, location and incredible Colorado lifestyle it offers.
