Property Description

Some houses have room for a few. This one has room for the whole crew. Tucked behind the iron gates of Rockwood Estates and just seconds from the Glacier Club's back gate, 75 Rockwood Drive sits on 0.868 private, wooded acres of towering ponderosa and aspen, about 20 minutes north of downtown Durango and minutes from Purgatory Resort. Stone pillars and lantern posts lead up a freshly seal coated circular drive, where a wraparound porch connects to the big front deck over the two-car garage. Inside are 6,570 square feet of true mountain-lodge living with Four bedrooms plus an office and five baths (3 full, one 3/4 and one half), so every bedroom has its own bath. The main level is where everyone gathers. The great room soars with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed timber beams, two-story windows into the pines and a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning stone fireplace. The kitchen is made for big meals: a Wolf range with griddle and pot filler, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a huge granite island with prep sink, a microwave drawer and beverage fridge, and a farmhouse sink. It opens to a dining room that seats ten-plus. Just off the kitchen, a wet bar with wine storage steps right out to the backyard. A second family room with its own gas stone fireplace gives everyone room to spread out. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, with a gas fireplace, a sitting area and a bath with clawfoot soaking tub, double vanity and walk-in tile shower. Directly across the hall, a second ensuite bedroom gives guests the same privacy. A third main-level bedroom has its own bath. The fifth bedroom works perfectly as a home office, with a window and private half bath (no closet; non-conforming). Out back, step straight from the kitchen onto a full deck built for outdoor living. There's room to grill, dine under the pines and lounge by the heaters on cool mountain evenings, with the new hot tub just steps away. Two separate upper levels give everyone their own space. Up the spiral staircase, the skylit game room opens to a private deck in the trees. Keep it for ping-pong and foosball, or picture built-in bunks and a hangout that makes this the house everyone wants to visit. A few steps up from the back of the kitchen, the second upper level has warm wood ceilings, a wall of windows into the aspens, a gym and a sauna. It's ready to be a rec room, a movie lounge or a home studio. Downstairs, the lower-level bedroom is a true retreat. It's big enough for a king bed plus a full sitting area, with beamed tongu
