208 DEER VALLEY ROAD
Colorado, La Plata County, Durango/Hesperus
208 DEER VALLEY ROAD Spectacular views and privacy highlight this heavenly 10-acre estate with over 4,900 SF of living space impeccably designed with key living areas on the main level (including the master suite) as well as an oversized three-car garage + heated workshop. The expansive outdoor living and hot tub area provide sweeping vistas, privacy and a perfect setting for relaxing and enjoying the mountain views and wildlife. The spacious kitchen features a 5-burner cook-top, warming drawer, pantry and 30-inch double ovens. You can sip your morning coffee from the adjacent south facing sun-room just off the kitchen. The dramatic two-story great room opens to the expansive deck affording unencumbered (no one can build in front of us – it is permanently open space) stunning property views from every vantage point. The master suite includes a steam shower, media room/potential nursery and private deck that walks out to the secluded hot tub area. A separate guest suite is also on the main level. On the lower level there is an exercise room, another guest room and bath, oversized laundry and mudroom and much more. This custom home affords maximum flexibility for entertainment and family gatherings as well as for a hobbyist and/or work from home situation. Magnificent views and mature native trees surround the property, creating a spectacular private setting for outdoor living and entertaining. Trapper’s Crossing is a very upscale high-desert enclave with a unique park-like setting that is a walking, running, snow-shoe and sledding paradise for its residents. Absolutely brilliant!
