This is your chance to live in one of Durango's best-kept secrets, soaking in the unparalleled views of the La Plata Mountains. Valle Escondido is a small, quiet paved community of just 20 homes, with amenities like paved streets, natural gas, city sewer, and private wells - only 12 minutes to downtown and 3 minutes to Mercy Hospital and Three Springs. This beautiful home was designed to maximize mountain views from almost every room. The smart layout places the primary bedroom suite on the top floor to capture the best views, complete with a private balcony and jacuzzi tub. The main level has two additional bedrooms (or offices), a 3/4 guest bath, and a laundry room. It's built for entertaining with the kitchen, breakfast nook, and large dining room all opening onto their own decks. Fireplaces in the primary bedroom, dining room, and living room keep things cozy. Grand front steps lead to an oversized living room with gas fireplace and a back deck that flows into the natural landscape. The private backyard is peaceful, and a pre-wired hot tub pad is ready to go. There are three garage spaces for all your gear, a paved driveway for easy winter maintenance, and an extra covered carport for storing equipment on 5+ acres. The lower level offers two garage bays and a private-entry studio apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom. Modern heating, hot water systems, and recent exterior paint updates keep the home efficient and fresh.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
