Hidden Valley Farmhaus, Walk to National Forest, 10 Minutes to Downtown

Hidden Valley Farmhaus is a peaceful mountain retreat tucked into one of Durango's most beautiful and sought-after valleys, just 5 miles from Main Street. Surrounded by 4 private acres of pinyon, juniper, ponderosa pine, and sandstone cliffs, the home offers breathtaking wraparound views of Animas Mountain and the quiet valley below. Guests love the easy access to nearby San Juan National Forest meadows just a few hundred yards away, and the Colorado Trail, while still enjoying complete privacy, dark starry skies, and the sounds of nature. Outdoor spaces include a landscaped patio, firepit with Adirondack chairs, picnic area, porch swing, and several secluded sitting spots perfect for relaxing and taking in the scenery.

Inside, the two-story home blends rustic mountain charm with thoughtful modern updates. The remodeled kitchen features rich red granite countertops, sage green tile, and sweeping 180-degree valley views from the island. The dining and living areas are warm and inviting, with large picture windows, radiant floor heat, and a cozy gas woodstove. Upstairs, the home includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with beautiful natural views from every room. The private primary suite opens to a secluded back deck featuring a seasonal outdoor clawfoot bath/shower nestled against the hillside for a truly unique mountain experience.

Guest Access:
Ample parking is available on the semi-circular driveway, with room for 4–5 vehicles while still allowing easy drive-through access. Guests may pull up within approximately 8 feet of the front door for convenient unloading before parking alongside the drive. From the property, guests can walk just 1/10 mile to a beautiful San Juan National Forest meadow featuring an easy, flat trail through wide open scenery. The paved county road that parallels the meadow is equally scenic and wonderful for peaceful walks.The meadow is ideal for biking in warmer months and for cross-country skiing or snowshoeing in winter. There is a covered space next to a shed for ski and bike storage. And if you happen to visit during a full moon… don't miss stepping outside to watch the moon rise over the ridge and illuminate the white sandstone cliffs lining the valley. The night skies and stars here are simply unforgettable.
