About this property
Just one-half mile from Durango city limits, 403 Spring Creek is a rare 8.6-acre private estate combining year-round water, direct BLM access, dramatic mountain views, and close proximity to downtown Durango. Spring Creek flows year-round through the property, creating numerous small waterfalls beneath mature vegetation and adding a peaceful riparian setting. The land offers panoramic views of the Twilight Peaks and surrounding red rock formations, while its location within an active wildlife corridor brings frequent opportunities to see elk, mule deer, and other native wildlife. As an added bonus, the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad can be seen passing through the valley from the property, offering a unique glimpse of one of Southwest Colorado's most iconic attractions. Adding to the property's versatility is the unusual combination of Animas water and city sewer, along with no HOA or restrictive covenants. The extensively renovated home was thoughtfully designed around its setting, with an elevated "upside-down" floor plan placing the primary living areas where the surrounding views can be enjoyed at their best. The updated kitchen features new GE refrigerator and dishwasher, with gas line access beneath the stove for a future gas range installation, subject to final plumbing connections. The primary suite includes custom live-edge furniture and excellent natural cross-ventilation. A dedicated office with integrated storage provides an ideal work-from-home setup, while the flexible theater/bonus room can serve as a media room, gym, storage or recreation room. The current rec room can be returned to a 4th bedroom by adding a closet. A custom insulated mudroom built with 2x6 framing connects conveniently to the attached one car garage, providing sheltered everyday access and practical storage for Colorado gear. The garage has an additional bay for storage with double door access. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a structural deck rebuilt in 2018 using a seamless rubber membrane and reinforced to support a hottub...an ideal place to relax while taking in the mountain scenery. Adjoining land opens the door to hiking, exploring, and wildlife watching right from the property. An active radon mitigation system and numerous structural and utility improvements add to the home's functionality. For buyers seeking a seamless, turnkey transition, the property is being sold fully furnished, excluding the Seller's personal items and exclusions. This includes a full monitored Simpli-Safe Security System. In addition to its private setting, downtown Durango, grocery stores, restaurants, schools, medical services, and everyday amenities are approximately 10 minutes away. For buyers searching for a Durango home with acreage, year-round creek, no HOA, mountain views, wildlife, privacy, and easy access to town, 403 Spring Creek delivers a combination of features seldom found this close to Durango.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
