About 855 Ridge Rd
Nestled in the tall pines of Rafter J, this stylish contemporary mountain home offers a rare balance of privacy, design, and thoughtful sustainability and just 15 minutes from downtown Durango and Lake Nighthorse. Custom built in 2008 and beautifully remodeled in 2018, the home sits on over 3 acres with peaceful mountain views and a feeling of being tucked into the trees. Walls of windows and soaring ceilings in the great room bring in warmth, natural light, and mountain views. The wrap-around deck, rebuilt with heat-treated White Ash (a fire-rated product as durable as Trex), invites you to enjoy golden-hour sunsets or morning coffee in the fresh mountain air. Inside, environmentally conscious features are found throughout: solid bamboo flooring, Kolbe insulated windows and doors, stainless energy-efficient appliances, and radiant in-floor heating on all three levels. The great room includes a gas fireplace for cozy winter nights. The upper level is dedicated to the primary suite with its own private balcony, walk-in closet, and full bathroom. A nearby flex space works well as a nursery, meditation room, or quiet home office. A lofted nook above offers a perfect perch to work or read, framed by postcard-worthy views. Each level of the home includes a bedroom and bathroom, offering privacy and flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. The lower level functions well as guest quarters or a media room with a separate entrance, third bedroom, full bath, and large laundry/mechanical room with abundant storage. Additional upgrades include stucco, stonework, cabinetry, lighting, and a fire-mitigated landscape with natural low-maintenance appeal. A Generac generator provides peace of mind, and there's room for your camper or boat plus a detached garage for all your gear.
