Property Description
Perfectly positioned just minutes from downtown Durango, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom home on 7 usable acres offers a rare combination of Durango acreage, an established horse/equestrian setup, privacy and convenient access to town. Located near the highly desirable Shenandoah area and just minutes from Lake Nighthorse, 409 Old Snag is approximately 12 minutes from downtown Durango and provides the space and versatility of Colorado country living without sacrificing everyday convenience. The current owners have completed substantial updates throughout the property, complementing an impressive interior with high ceilings, wood flooring and abundant windows that fill the home with natural light. The main living area is centered around a striking rock fireplace and opens to a spacious kitchen featuring granite countertops, a butcher-block island with sink, newer built-in refrigerator, breakfast bar and sunny dining nook. A separate formal dining room offers additional entertaining space, while expansive multi-level decks extend the living areas outdoors and overlook the surrounding acreage. The main level also includes a guest bedroom and full bathroom, private office, large laundry room and oversized family room with excellent natural light. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite enjoys views across the acreage and neighboring pond and features dual walk-in closets and an ensuite bath with soaking tub, separate shower and double vanities. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while a large den provides flexible space for a second office, media room, guest area or potential fifth bedroom. Outside, this Durango horse property is already set up for equestrian use with a barn, three stalls and paddocks, tack room, equipment storage, loft space for hay, fenced arena and cross-fenced acreage. A seasonal runoff creek travels along the property toward the Community Accessed pond, adding to the natural setting. Additional features include an attached two-car garage, covered dog run, 50-amp RV hookup and an existing hot tub pad with electrical connection. With usable acreage, horse facilities, multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces and room to further personalize, this property offers a combination increasingly difficult to find so close to Durango. Whether you're searching for a Colorado horse property, Durango home with acreage, equestrian property near town, full-time residence or private Southwest Colorado retreat, this one offers space, flexibility and the Colorado lifestyle just minutes from downtown Durango and Lake Nighthorse.
