Property Description

Nestled on 4.6 picturesque acres in the heart of the Animas Valley, this one-of-a-kind handcrafted Colorado log home offers the perfect blend of privacy, history, and breathtaking scenery. Built in 1978 by renowned local craftsman Larry Barnes, this custom three-level residence encompasses 3,120 square feet with one bedroom and three bathrooms, showcasing exceptional handcrafted log construction, expansive windows, and timeless mountain character. Designed to embrace Colorado's outdoor lifestyle, the home features expansive wraparound decks that serve as an extension of the living space, overlooking three tranquil ponds, beautifully irrigated meadows, and sweeping mountain and valley views. The 4.6 acres are irrigated with water delivered from Coon Creek through the historic Reed Ditch, and the property's own headgate provides convenient control of the irrigation water. The grounds are a true sanctuary, highlighted by mature landscaping, colorful perennial gardens, and an abundance of established trees that create beauty, privacy, and a peaceful park-like setting throughout the property. Conveniently located in the coveted County Road 250 corridor, the property offers an impressive collection of improvements beyond the main residence. A detached two-car garage provides ample parking, workshop space, and additional storage. Several additional outbuildings—including a charming cabin, livery, stable, and barn offering exceptional flexibility. Combining exceptional craftsmanship, irrigated acreage, historic outbuildings, and breathtaking mountain and valley views, 9795 County Road 250 offers a rare opportunity to own a true legacy property just minutes from Durango. Rich in character, natural beauty, and timeless appeal, this extraordinary handcrafted log home embodies the enduring spirit of Southwest Colorado. Legacy properties of this caliber in the Animas Valley seldom come to market. Some of the rooms in the photos have been virtually staged. There is one true bedroom on the 2nd level of home. There are two other potential bedrooms which are non-conforming, although they were always used as bedrooms in the past.
