Among the Gambel Oaks

HOME TOUR · DURANGO, COLORADO

A Renovated Log Home, a Red Horse Barn and Thirty-Seven Acres of Meadow Outside Durango

Log walls warmed by a two-sided stone fireplace. A deck that looks out over pasture and Gambel oak. And just down the drive, a classic red barn with four stalls and a tack room.

The county road gives way to a gravel drive.

The oaks close in, then open up.

And there it sits, a log home settled low into the hillside, the meadow spread out in front of it.

Classic Log, Made New

This is a Larry Barnes log home, and it has been renovated with real care.

White oak floors. Cathedral ceilings. Designer finishes that keep the charm of a classic log home and add every comfort you would want to come home to.

Two thousand eight hundred ninety-three square feet. Four bedrooms. Three and a half baths.

The Great Room

The great room rises to the beams.

At its heart is a two-sided stone fireplace, warming the living room on one side and the kitchen on the other.

Snow on the meadow. A fire going. Nowhere you need to be.

Where Everyone Gathers

The kitchen is farmhouse at heart and serious about cooking.

Custom shaker cabinetry. Quartz counters. Thermador stainless, ready for a big Sunday supper.

Bright white against honeyed logs. The kind of kitchen everyone ends up standing around.

A Suite of Its Own

The primary suite sits on the main level, with its own sitting area and its own fire.

A good book. A view of the pasture. The quiet of a place tucked away among the Gambel oaks.

The bath is pure indulgence: dual vanities, a separate shower and a clawfoot tub made for long soaks.

Upstairs, the fourth bedroom has a fireplace and a full bath of its own.

Out on the Deck

Step outside and the view goes on and on.

An oversized deck looks out over the meadows and hillsides, with room to eat, read and watch the weather roll in.

And when the day is done, the hot tub is waiting.

The Red Barn

Every ranch needs a barn like this one.

Classic red. Four horse stalls. A tack room finished in tongue-and-groove, every bit as handsome as the house.

Attached to the barn is a 1,157-square-foot guest house, ready for family, friends or a caretaker.

One bedroom, a bunkroom, two baths and a one-car garage.

Picture the kids up in the bunks, already planning tomorrow.

The Land Around It

Thirty-seven acres of gently rolling ground.

Lush pasture. A pond in the meadow. Groves of native Gambel oak climbing the hillsides.

It sits at nearly 7,900 feet, between historic Durango, Vallecito and Lemon Reservoirs, and the San Juan National Forest.

Close to all that Durango offers. Far enough to feel like a world of your own.

And If You’ve Fallen for It

Here is the lovely part.

It’s available.

A year-round home. A horse property. A mountain getaway. A place for the whole family to come together.

Morning coffee on the deck. Horses in the pasture. The fire lit before supper.

This is the kind of place that becomes the family ranch.
