Experience Colorado country living from this single level home with a large detached shop, located halfway between Durango and Bayfield. This property would make a great hobby farm. The gated driveway welcomes you to this 3.16 acre private retreat showcasing views of the La Plata Mountains. Beautiful hardwood floors and high ceilings greet you as you enter the home and into the living area with a cozy pellet stove. Head to the dining room where french doors allow access to the front porch, and a large bay window provides plenty of natural light and a perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, Corian countertops, large cabinets, and bar seating. The spacious primary suite has access to the back yard and large bathroom with a dual vanity, two closets - one is a walk-in, and a tiled shower. The additional two bedrooms share the full hall bath. One bedroom has large bay windows and a walk-in closet, the other has a murphy bed. The laundry room hosts a utility sink, access to the back patio, and an energy efficient 80 gallon Marathon water heater with no metal parts and a PLC which ensures the unit only heats during off-peak hours. Additional energy efficient features include new Renewal by Anderson "Fibrex" windows and electric thermal heating units. A 3 ton air conditioning unit, central vacuum system, security system, two cell phone Boosters, and Starlink are also in place. The fenced backyard includes a quaint patio complete with a shaded seating area, hot tub, garden, and 10' x 20' greenhouse. High fencing keeps the deer out and pets in with plenty of room to roam. An attached oversized two car garage is perfect for daily vehicles and storage, while the detached 900 square foot shop, wired 120/240 with two 10 'x 9.5' doors, adds additional space for campers, boats, toys, etc. with space for a workshop. The El Rancho Florida subdivision offers horse riding, biking/hiking trails through the neighborhood, BLM access, and a private recreational fishing and swimming pond with covered areas for picnics or private parties. Downtown Durango is just over 13 miles to the west, with Bayfield about 12 miles to the east, and only 7 miles to CommonSpirit Mercy Hospital and Durango-La Plata County Airport.
