Nestled in the scenic Animas Valley, this peaceful 15-acre property offers a true Colorado escape surrounded by nature. With direct access to the San Juan National Forest, guests can step right from the property onto nearby trails for hiking and exploring. At the heart of the property sits a unique, rustic, off-grid yurt designed for those seeking a simpler, more nature-connected stay. This is not a traditional home—it's a quiet, unplugged experience with a focus on natural surroundings. Evenings are best enjoyed by the glow of the wood stove, soft lighting, and the stars overhead. Inside, the yurt features an open floor plan with a full kitchen, dining area for four, and a cozy living space with a queen sleeper sofa. A loft above includes two twin beds, making it a great option for couples, small families, or friends. The yurt also includes a full bathroom with a shower, a wood stove for warmth, and a smart TV, along with books and games for relaxing downtime. Starlink WiFi is available, but the setting encourages you to slow down and unplug. The surrounding grounds are lush and thoughtfully cared for, with a beautiful orchard featuring apples, peaches, pears, and more, along with berry bushes and gardens. Towering cottonwood trees provide shaded sitting areas, making it a peaceful haven for nature lovers. Step outside to fully embrace the setting: a small pond just steps from the yurt, a large open field, and multiple outdoor spaces to relax. Unwind in the hammock, gather around the firepit, or enjoy the charming gazebo with a swing chair. A teepee adds a fun, unique touch to the landscape. With stunning views of the iconic red cliffs of the Animas Valley and a quiet, private atmosphere, this property offers a truly immersive outdoor experience. Located just 15 minutes from downtown Durango, 20 minutes from Purgatory Resort, and only 1.5 miles from Durango Hot Springs, it's perfectly situated for both adventure and retreat. This yurt is fully off-grid and powered by solar energy, offering a truly unique and sustainable stay. Power is limited and designed for light use—guests should be mindful of energy consumption. Heating is provided by a cozy wood stove and propane, adding to the rustic, cabin-like atmosphere. While modern comforts are available, this is not a conventional home experience. Instead, it's an opportunity to slow down, unplug, and enjoy a simpler way of living immersed in nature.
