The Splurge: 3456 County Rd 124The Steal: 935 Mount Memories Lane

Our Colorado Realtor Eric Roark has these two jaw-dropping properties that we could really picture ourselves in. They’re in Durango, which if you’ve heard the buzz lately, is THE best underground skiing around.

But don’t ski in and ski out. Stay. Buy a trophy property on practically your own mountain.

On top of the views you get from these luxury homes, our two Splurge vs. Steal properties are located in quiet, secluded settings only minutes from buzzing downtown Durango and a short drive to winter skiing at Purgatory. Which property would you choose?

The Splurge: 3456 County Rd 124

  • Wildflower Ranch — $29.5M | 175 Acres |  4 Bed | 5 Baths | 12,522 sqft

When you have this much land and this much house, it gets a name. This property’s name is Wildflower Ranch, a sprawling Durango estate with a 12,000-square-foot main house, a three-bedroom caretaker home, two barns, and a solar farm large enough to power nearly all of it.

Eric Roark of The Wells Group has this listing at 3456 County Road 124 for $29.5 million.

There’s an interesting story behind this home: A retired dot com guy purchased a single 35-acre parcel to make his own RV campground. Then he picked up another parcel and another until he’d acquired 175 acres of untouched Southwest Colorado mountain land.

He built a 12,000-square-foot home with three bedrooms, emphasizing gathering spaces like the oversized dining room for big family dinners, large living areas, and entertainment spaces including a 12-seat home theater with a snack bar and a game room with a wet bar.

Just watch the video. It’s like a meditation.


The Steal: 935 Mount Memories Lane

  • Mountain Memories — $6.25M |  5 bed | 6 total baths | 6,860 sq ft. | 75 Acres

Our steal is really a steal. This property called Mountain Memories has a 5,700-square-foot main house, a 2,688-square-foot guest house, and a barn or two, and it’s all set on a 75-acre lot.

Eric Roark of The Wells Group has listed 935 Mount Memories Lane in Durango for $6.25 million.

With 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains and private access that borders over 13,000 acres of Perins Peak Wildlife Area, this property truly has it all — A spacious timber frame home, a barn ready for horses, a separate guest house, and an abundance of outdoor amenities

The property’s main house has three bedrooms with 5,700 square feet of living space, including a grand entrance family room with 32 feet of floor-to-ceiling windows, a chef’s kitchen with Wolf, GE, and KING appliances, and a private office. There’s also a dry sauna, a workout room, a loft game room, and wine storage.

Watch this gorgeous, and I mean, gorgeous preview of Mountain Memories Colorado. P.S. It has a pretty horse.

If you’re thinking of purchasing property or land in Colorado, Eric Roark is your guy. He’s an affable North Texas football coach-turned-Realtor in Colorado, but his drawl still sounds like he never left Texas. Call Roark at 214-725-7893 or email [email protected].
