Description
Where Every Season has a Front-Row Seat: 247 Rim Rock Drive. Private Mountain Retreat | North Animas Valley. Main highlights include: bordering the San Juan National Forest, panoramic views of the Animas Valley, most furnishings included, a complete renovation and expansion completed in 2023, and NEW: Essential-Level Wildfire Mitigation completed in July 2026. Wake to first light spilling across the Animas Valley as mountain peaks frame the horizon and the whisper of pines replaces the noise of everyday life. At 247 Rim Rock Drive, home is more than a place - it is a front-row seat to one of Colorado's most extraordinary landscapes. Bordering the San Juan National Forest, the property enjoys lasting privacy and protected surroundings rarely found so close to downtown Durango. Thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, this distinctive mountain residence blends timeless architecture with sophisticated modern systems and finishes. Distinctive architectural details - including an emerald Italian kitchen, handcrafted spiral staircase, dramatic aluminum dome ceiling, and custom stained-glass accents - reflect the home's artistic character and thoughtful design. Expansive windows blur the boundary between indoors and out, making the surrounding mountains an integral part of everyday living. Enjoy morning coffee on the Trex deck as deer wander through the property. Step directly into the San Juan National Forest for a hike beneath towering pines. Spend afternoons entertaining friends in the beautifully appointed kitchen, exploring miles of adjacent National Forest, or simply watching summer storms drift across the valley. As evening arrives, gather around the fire while sunsets give way to brilliant star-filled skies. Perfectly positioned between historic downtown Durango and Purgatory Ski Resort, the home offers exceptional privacy without sacrificing convenience. World-class skiing, fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, golf, hot springs, and fine dining are all within easy reach, allowing every season to become part of daily life. Some homes are admired. Others are experienced. 247 Rim Rock Drive offers a rare opportunity to own not simply an exceptional mountain residence, but a lifestyle defined by beauty, privacy, and a profound connection to the Colorado mountains.
