Price: $7,595,000
Location: 1701 CR 250, Durango, CO 81301
1701 CR 250, located in Animas Valley, just outside of Durango, is a 37-acre estate along a quarter-mile stretch of the Animas River. The setting is expansive but not remote, pastoral yet highly usable, offering a balance that’s increasingly difficult to replicate in the Mountain West.
The residence at 1701 CR 250 takes a material-driven approach. Reclaimed wood beams sourced from historic Great Salt Lake train trestles set the tone, bringing history and texture into spaces defined by volume and light.

Chicago brick, cold-rolled steel, and stone finishes add contrast, and large-format accordion glass doors lining the primary living areas open the interior directly to the surrounding valley.
Inside, Restoration Hardware lighting and fixtures are paired with Cambria stone surfaces, while the kitchen is equipped with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a dedicated cubed ice machine, and stone fireplaces that anchor communal spaces. A theater den offers a more enclosed retreat, creating a clear shift in scale and atmosphere from the home’s larger gathering areas.
“You could spend an entire lifetime looking for this property.”

The primary suite occupies its own wing, functioning as a private counterpoint to the home’s social spaces. The ensuite bathroom draws from spa-inspired design, featuring handmade Italian tile, radiant heated floors, a steam shower, and a deep soaking tub. Throughout the residence, recessed Lutron shades allow light to be calibrated to the time of day, season, or mood.
A private pond sits within view of the main residence, framed by a pergola, outdoor kitchen, and a sandy beach area that lends itself to warm-weather gatherings. From there, trails wind through the property toward the river, where the private frontage includes its own riverside beach.
For equestrian use, the estate is exceptionally well equipped. Seven irrigated paddocks, a mare barn with foaling stalls, a professional riding arena, and extensive white vinyl fencing are supported by strong water rights and approximately 20 acres of productive alfalfa fields. Oversized utilities are already in place to accommodate a future guest house.
Despite its acreage and river frontage, the estate remains closely tied to Durango’s cultural and dining scene being only 2 minutes from some of Durango’s favorites and 10 minutes to the center of downtown, offering the convenience of town life without compromising privacy.
