The Views in This Durango Trophy Property Are So Vibrant, They Look Like Green Screen for Your Home

5 Min Read

Through these towering windows, what you see isn’t a clever trick of Photoshop. The mountainous horizon, painted in rich shades of green that meet the bright blue sky. This is Durango and this is one of the magnanimous views from this 6,800-square-foot mountaintop property, listed by Eric Roark with The Wells Group.

Notice I said one of the views. Nearly every room of 935 Mountain Memories Lane is painted with these unobstructed views of southwestern Colorado. Here in the primary residence, the view stretches to infinity in the 360-degree panorama of mountains encircling the home.

935 Mountain Memories Lane in Durango, Colorado

“The views from this home are like no other,” Roark says. The Dallas transplant to Durango has seen his share of mountain home vistas, and this one nearly tops the list, he says.

As the centerpiece, a 5,700-square-foot residence presides over the 75-acre property that also features a barn, guest quarters, and an abundance of outdoor amenities. This Mountain Memories home is located in a quiet, secluded setting only minutes from bustling downtown and a short drive to winter skiing at Purgatory. 

But here on the homefront, the grandeur is evident once you step into the grand entrance of the living room. Thirty-two-foot ceilings and steeple-shaped windows frame the unobstructed northern views of Turtle Lake and the popular Missionary Ridge Trails. This integration of indoor and outdoor space is a hallmark of the home’s design; it may also aggravate a case of FOMO if you long for scenic hiking and challenging rock climbing at Turtle Lake below.

Replete with lavish amenities, the home caters to every facet of life. In the kitchen, a spacious layout and premium Wolf, GE, and KING appliances lend themselves to culinary excellence and inspiration from the sweeping views of nature outside your window. Wine enthusiasts will find solace in the dedicated wine storage, the repository for the finest vintages. Adjacent to the kitchen lies a private office, offering a secluded space for contemplation and work.

For relaxation and rejuvenation, a dry sauna awaits, while a well-equipped workout room beckons to those pursuing an active lifestyle. The loft game room serves as a sanctuary for recreation, a haven for unwinding after a day of outdoor exploits.

For respite, the primary suite offers infinity views of the rolling hills and cascading peaks beyond. The primary bath is a sight-scape with cedar beams that compliment the tile floors and a stepped-platform bathtub that offers views of Turtle Lake.

As if the lavish interiors were not enough, the estate borders the sprawling Perins Peak Wildlife Area, encompassing over 13,000 acres of pristine nature. Here, you can immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of Colorado, indulging in outdoor escapades that range from hiking to horseback riding.

Bordering a public wildlife area means that homeowners here have private access to this public land. For us flatland dwellers — I had to ask Roark further what that meant, this means you basically have your own private entrance to this protected wildlife area. You might be interested to know that 63 percent of Colorado is comprised of public land. Texas has less than 5 percent of undeveloped natural public land.  

With a footprint of 56’x48′, this barn is tailor-made for the equestrian enthusiast. The adjacent guest house, a two-bed, one-bath abode with a full kitchen, offers comfort and convenience.

Roark says this property is perfect for someone who wants a luxurious getaway with the convenience of a nearby resort town. “For those looking for a blend of luxurious living and unfettered access to nature, Mountain Memories Colorado beckons.”

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