Welcome to 1928 County Road 125 â?? where renowned architect Jon Pomoroy's visionary 1997 design achieves something rare: a home that feels entirely of the Colorado landscape, yet unmistakably intentional and sophisticated. Perched atop a private knob overlooking nearly 40 rolling acres, this 5,175 sq ft residence commands views of the La Plata Mountains to the west and the grand fourteeners of Chicago Basin to the north, framed by soaring cathedral tongue-and-groove ceilings and windows positioned to capture light and landscape in every direction. Inside, flagstone flooring on the main level, luxury wool carpeting in living spaces, and the flood of natural light create an immediate sense of arrival. Four generously proportioned bedrooms include two luxurious primary suites upstairs and two additional bedroom suites on the main level, offering flexibility for multi-generational stays or guest accommodations. The recently updated gourmet kitchen is the heart of entertaining, featuring pristine soapstone countertops and an impressive suite of brand-new, never-used Gaggenau luxury appliances: refrigerator/freezer, two wall ovens, an island range cooktop, and dishwasher. For those serious about cooking and entertaining, this is the real deal. The open great room anchors the main level with a soaring floor-to-ceiling Anasazi stone fireplace offering warmth and sculptural presence, a naturally lit gathering space that captures the landscape through every angle. A separate sitting room provides flexible space â?? equally suited as an office, creative studio, or TV room â?? while multiple outdoor entertaining spaces extend the living experience: a sweeping front portico, grand covered porch, and private primary bedroom balconies that invite lingering with morning coffee and mountain views. The home's technical sophistication includes an elevator, in-floor radiant heating, central vacuum plumbing, and security system throughout. Sustainability and stewardship are woven into ownership here. The property sits within a conservation easement that safeguards crucial elk and deer migration corridors and protects this landscape for generations. That easement also permits agricultural use, safe recreational activities, and the opportunity to build a guest residence up to 1,600 sq ft within the existing building envelope. Current water rights include one active Lake Durango Water Authority tap plus six inactive taps, currently supplemented by the home's private well. Situated within an exclusive 3-lot gated subdivision, the two-car attached garage with abundant storage, combined with the property's 39.82-acre footprint, creates genuine privacy and seclusion while remaining accessible to Durango's community and amenities. This is a rare listing that delivers architectural significance, environmental stewardship, luxury finishes, and uncompromised Colorado mountain living.
