Description

Grandview Ridge occupies a rare position on Missionary Ridge where elevation, live water, access, and privacy converge, set above the Animas Valley and bordered by flowing Coon Creek to deliver a combination that is increasingly difficult to replicate: commanding red cliff and mountain views, immediate National Forest access, and the scale required to comfortably host family and guests. Approached through a gated entry and paved drive, the estate feels removed without being remote, with the landscape opening north toward Engineer Mountain, Spud Mountain, and the Hermosa Cliffs, where changing light and seasonal color become part of daily life. Spanning over 6,400 square feet, the residence is intentionally designed for multi-generational living, extended stays, and gatherings that flow easily between indoor and outdoor spaces, offering 5 private bedroom suites most with decks or balconies and multiple living areas that support conversation, work, recreation, and rest simultaneously without interruption. Gas log fireplace in bedroom in north end and wood burning fireplace in main living area. Kitchen fully updated with stainless steel appliances, dining island, 2 ice makers & 2 zone wine cooler. Coon Creek creates a natural anchor rarely found this close to Durango, with a level bench along the year long water providing flexibility for horses, recreation, or quiet retreat, while the elevated home site captures expansive valley and cliff views. Outdoor living is central to the experience, with large decks overlooking the Animas Valley and red cliffs, offering space for long dinners, fireside evenings, and gatherings that stretch late into the night, equally suited to intimate family use or hosting at scale. Missionary Ridge Road provides immediate, year-round access to Henderson Lake and surrounding National Forest lands for ATVs, horseback riding, Jeep access, hiking, snow play, and motorized recreation without trailering or long drives, an increasingly rare combination of access and privacy. With short-term rental flexibility adding valuable optionality, Grandview Ridge functions as an income-producing asset (Sleeps 15), legacy property, or personal retreat, delivering position, scale, water, views, and experience in a way few Missionary Ridge estates can. Sold furnished, less personal exclusions and turn key. Too many features to list, please inquire for additional details, prior rental income history or private showing!
