Property Description

Own your private gateway to the San Juan Mountains. Bordering the San Juan National Forest, this extraordinary 7,059-square-foot mountain estate offers a rare combination of luxury, privacy, and direct access to some of Colorado's most spectacular backcountry recreation. Situated on 9.12 beautifully landscaped acres, the property features 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a 5-car garage, including a heated attached 3-car garage and a detached 2-car garage with workshop and additional storage. Designed for both comfortable daily living and exceptional entertaining, the main level features a welcoming entry with a handcrafted carved wood door, private office, powder room, laundry room, spacious living room with vaulted ceilings and a striking stone fireplace, formal dining area, and a beautifully remodeled chef's kitchen with custom alder cabinetry, Thermador appliances, granite countertops, copper backsplash, and copper bar top. The luxurious primary suite offers a sitting area, a gas fireplace, private deck access, and a spacious bath with dual vanities, a Jacuzzi tub, a separate shower, and a walk-in closet. The upper level includes a private en-suite bedroom along with two additional oversized bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The walkout lower level serves as an impressive entertainment retreat featuring a large family room with a stone fireplace, a billiards area, a custom wet bar with a live-edge wood countertop and kegerator, extensive built-in alder bookcases, a media area, a wine cellar, an additional bedroom, a full bathroom, and an exercise room. Outside, the grounds create a private mountain sanctuary with manicured lawns, mature landscaping, terraced gardens, two spectacular ponds with cascading waterfalls, a charming bridge, a fire pit with built-in seating, a sauna, a hot tub, a fenced garden area, an irrigation system, and multiple outdoor gathering spaces. The historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad passes nearby, adding a uniquely Colorado backdrop to the property. For outdoor enthusiasts, few properties can match what 696 Iron Gate Way offers. Bordering the San Juan National Forest, the property provides direct access to an extensive network of trails and Forest Service roads throughout the renowned Hermosa Creek Recreation Area. Explore miles of trails leading to destinations including Jones Creek, Dutch Creek, Elbert Creek, Hotel Draw, Bolam Pass, and connections to the Colorado Trail system. Enjoy world-class hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, ATV and side-by-side adventures, hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, snowmobiling, and year-round exploration across vast public lands that stretch far beyond the property's boundaries. Few homes near Durango offer this level of direct access to Colorado's most iconic mountain recreation and the unmatched freedom of having the San Juan National Forest as your backyard. Additional features include radiant in-floor heating throughout, individual room thermostats, a recently replaced boiler, central water, natural gas service, updated septic system, air conditioning in key living areas and bedrooms, and a new roof installed in 2025.
