Nestled on 3.8 acres in Durango’s prestigious Emerald Mile corridor, this exceptional waterfront estate in the exclusive gated community of Hermosa Orchards offers 1,250 feet of pristine Hermosa Creek frontage with rare private island access, just 8 miles north of downtown. Thoughtfully remodeled with sustainability in mind, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath European-inspired home features eco-conscious upgrades, including low-VOC materials, and an open-concept design that seamlessly connects the chef’s kitchen, dining area, and expansive outdoor living spaces. The main-level primary suite captures breathtaking red cliff views, while a separate attached studio apartment with plumbing and stove connections offers flexible space for guests, income, or a home office.
