Zane Wells, The Wells Group of Durango, LLC, C: 970-317-1095, zane@wellsgroupdurango.com, www.crenmls.com: Nestled along the banks of the Florida River, this 2,218 SF mountain retreat has 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and an impressive 260 feet of prime Florida River frontage. The property is extremely private with mature trees and lush surroundings as well as the positioning of the home. Perfect for avid anglers and those that desire the tranquility of live water amidst the high alpine beauty of the Florida Valley. Slip into your waders and indulge in your private fishery along this very accessible stretch of river. Whether indoors or out, the soothing melody of the river permeates throughout every room of the house. The roof was replaced in June of 2024, and the entire exterior was re-stained as well as the deck spaces. In addition to the river frontage, there is a small tributary/stream that runs along the south side of the yard providing live water on multiple sides of the home. This Log home provides the warmth that log construction offers, which is very fitting for this unique location in the Florida Valley. The main living area opens onto the spacious deck, providing a delightful outdoor living area. The main level hosts the primary suite which has its own kiva style fireplace for those chilly evenings and the bathroom with separate shower, large soaking tub and dual sink vanity. The kitchen which is open to the dining and living area is centered with a focus on the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and complemented by wood tongue and groove vaulted ceilings. The Los Ranchitos Florida River HOA provides limited covenants that allow for short term rentals and very affordable HOA dues. The property is just a short 20-minute drive to downtown Durango, with convenient access to Lemon and Vallecito lakes as well as endless recreation in the nearby National Forest. With a horse set up already in place, you could easily bring your horses with you and explore all of the surrounding national forest acreage on horseback. The home has been used for a year around residence for the last 20 plus years, yet this location is ideal for that second home as well. Importantly, this property consists of two individually deeded lots, providing the future owner with the possibility of building a second home, selling off the other lot or just maintaining the current beauty of the property.
