Welcome to The Retreat at Thunder Ridge, a rare opportunity to have an extraordinary slice of Colorado Mountain Living with this custom built-retreat, set on nearly 90 acres, bordering approximately 1200 ACRES OF BLM LAND! Thunder Ridge offers a unique Colorado experience that is seldom found and truly leaves one in awe of brilliant design and detailed craftsmanship. Enjoy complete privacy in a beautifully serene setting, yet less than twenty minutes to Downtown Durango amenities, several lakes and the regional airport. This 9 bedroom 13 bath masterpiece has many potential uses such as a large family residence, vacation home, VRBO, a corporate or non profit retreat, or a luxury bed & breakfast with wedding & event capabilities.
