5775 CR 501

Set on the banks of the Pine River, this new construction home was built for the way Colorado actually gets lived. Thoughtful. Efficient. Wide open to the outdoors. Full accordion glass doors run the length of the house, so you step straight onto the concrete patio or fire up the outdoor kitchen without breaking stride. The primary wing sits across its own breezeway. Privacy, basically. Inside you'll find a massive walk-in closet, a light-filled walk-in shower, and a full sauna. There's an outdoor shower too, already roughed and ready if the next owner wants to add a hot tub. Single level, and it lives big. The guest wing keeps things easy with two matching bedrooms, each anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, plus full double-vanity baths and closets with room to spare. Hardwood runs throughout, and a gorgeous entry sets the tone the second guests walk in. But the real showstopper is the main living area. A massive center island grounds a full chef's kitchen. The dining space looks out over the river through sliding glass, and the living room centers on a striking contemporary fireplace that pulls the whole space together. Outside, more than $100,000 is going into a large water feature and landscaping designed to work with the southwest, not against it. Sustainable. Low fuss. Built to last. This was meant to be the sellers' forever home, so nothing got skipped and nothing's left for you to finish. Move in and start living. Bayfield gives you that small-town, river-valley pace folks move out here for, with the Durango airport less than 30 minutes away.
