Nestled in a scenic bowl just five minutes from town, Ridgeline Ranch is a rare 35-acre legacy property offering total privacy, panoramic views of the La Plata Mountains, and exceptional living space across three distinct residences. With gently rolling meadows, oak-covered hills, and direct access to 600+ acres of BLM and city trails including Raiders Ridge, this estate is a dream for those who want seclusion, space, and connection to nature, without sacrificing proximity to Durango’s amenities.

MAIN HOUSE: 6,625 SF, 6 Bedrooms, 5.5 Bathrooms. Multiple living areas, thoughtful built-ins, and abundant natural light create a timeless and functional design. The stately brick main home offers a well-planned layout: main-level gathering spaces, upper-level bedrooms, and a lower-level retreat. Two staircases connect the wings for natural flow. The entryway opens to vaulted ceilings and a dramatic stone fireplace with a high-efficiency wood insert, creating a cozy centerpiece in the sun-filled living room. Expansive windows frame views of the La Plata Mountains, while wood and tile floors add warmth and durability. The chef’s kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a center island with seating, and newer stainless appliances, all connected to the breakfast nook and formal dining area, ideal for entertaining. Step onto the expansive new TREX deck and enjoy peaceful views, privacy, and vibrant sunsets. Upstairs, a charming loft library with built-ins and a picture window offers a quiet space to read or unwind. The luxurious primary suite includes a sitting area surrounded by view windows, and an ensuite bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. Four additional bedrooms, two baths, and a laundry room complete the upper level. The walk-out lower level is built for recreation and relaxation with a full second kitchen, bar, theater room, and large rec zone. A guest bedroom, full bath, exercise room, and sauna add spa-like comfort. Step out to the private 8-person hot tub with electric cover, perfect for year round enjoyment. GUEST HOMES: Two additional residences provide exceptional flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, caretakers, or income. The first, located at 195 Ute Canyon Road, is a 1,654-square-foot guest home with two bedrooms and one bathroom. It sits above a 3,340-square-foot RV garage with full hookups and offers a full kitchen, warm living space with a wood stove, and private views.

EQUESTRIAN & EXPANSION POTENTIAL: The 5-stall barn is nearly show-ready, with stucco and wood finishes, automatic waterers, and a finished loft with kitchenette, bar, and panoramic views, ideal as a creative studio or event space. Three fenced pastures (one irrigated), plus room for a pickleball or tennis court, greenhouse, or outdoor pavilion. Infrastructure includes two water/sewer taps, four electric meters, and natural gas to the main home, offering future subdivision potential. This property is not part of any HOA. Ridgeline Ranch offers the rare opportunity to live, recreate, and explore entirely on your own land, horseback ride, mountain bike, snowmobile, cross-country ski, sled, or hike the private trails that wind through meadows and hillsides. Whether you’re seeking a multigenerational retreat, income potential, or a private sanctuary just minutes from town, this is one-of-a-kind estate!
