Description
Experience one of Southwest Colorado's truly exceptional custom estates, where timeless craftsmanship, breathtaking mountain views, and unmatched privacy come together on more than 35 acres just outside Dolores, Colorado near Summit Lake. Thoughtfully positioned to capture panoramic views of Sleeping Ute Mountain, Mesa Verde, and the La Plata Mountains, this remarkable log home was designed to celebrate its extraordinary setting. Constructed from standing-dead Lodgepole Pine hand-selected in British Columbia, the home showcases exceptional quality and attention to detail throughout. Mature trees, beautifully landscaped grounds, and peaceful outdoor living spaces create an inviting setting for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying Colorado's changing seasons. Inside, the expansive great room is anchored by a stunning natural moss rock fireplace and framed by walls of Sierra Pacific windows that bring the surrounding landscape indoors. Rich walnut flooring, custom walnut cabinetry, knotty alder doors, handcrafted ironwork, and Hubbardton Forge lighting reflect the home's one-of-a-kind character. The chef's kitchen is equally impressive, featuring Viking appliances, a custom copper range hood, granite countertops, a large dual-level island, and generous workspace designed for everyday living and entertaining. With more than 4,800 square feet, the main residence offers five bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and dual primary suites on separate levels. A Lift provides convenient access between floors, while 13-zone in-floor radiant heat and central air deliver year-round comfort. A private In-law suite includes its own full kitchen, living room, spacious bedroom, ensuite bath, and laundry, making it ideal for extended family, long-term guests, or a caretaker. The impressive 3,000+ square-foot barn-style shop provides oversized RV and vehicle storage, an expansive workshop with custom cabinetry and butcher block work surfaces, a climate-controlled room, and additional equipment storage. Above, more than 1,200 square feet of beautifully finished guest quarters include a full kitchen, laundry, full bath, spacious living area, and private balcony with incredible mountain views. Whether you're searching for a luxury primary residence, a multi-generational family retreat, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this estate offers exceptional flexibility. The guest accommodations, expansive gathering spaces, and spectacular setting also present exciting possibilities for a luxury vacation rental, executive retreat, wellness retreat, or intimate event venue, subject to county regulations and permitting. Ideally located just minutes from Dolores and within easy reach of Summit Lake, Mesa Verde National Park, McPhee Reservoir, Durango, Telluride, and the San Juan National Forest, this extraordinary property offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and year-round outdoor recreation.
