The most sought after views in the majestic San Juan Mountains above Durango are the sweeping north to south views of the Hermosa Cliffs, stretching almost the entire distance from Purgatory Resort to the lower Animas River Valley. Extraordinarily, this fully furnished custom residence in the Glacier Club has a view of almost the entire vista perched on a gentle edge overlooking one of the most beautiful holes at the Glacier Club golf course. From the moment your guests arrive at the porte-cochère which doubles as a bridge to the front doors of the home, they’ll be at the precipice of symmetry between modern design wholly in concert with the Glacier Club’s incomparable setting. Immediately upon entering one’s eyes are directed past the vaulted ceiling and custom trusses to the expansive window-wall gateway of glass over looking the sweeping views of a valley slowly cut by a Glacial formation thousands of years ago, hence the name of the resort. Though built into the dramatic topography of this mountainous setting, this home uniquely offers a floorpan with single-story living for the primary suite and main areas of the home. Walk out to the spacious wrap-around decks on two levels with a large hot tub to admire possibly the most expansive views you can imagine. Hardwood and granite surfaces abound as do Telluride stacked stone facades and fireplace structures. The spacious kitchen is perfect for entertaining with double ovens, SubZero refrigerator, and over-sized island. The lower level is all above grade, thanks to this home’s impressive design achievement within its topography, and it houses flexible space including an additional living room, three additional bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms and a media/game room with wet bar. The design of the home provides great separation for multiple families to share simultaneously. Don’t miss the oversized garage bays with ski nooks, organizers, and lock-off closets.
