Off-Grid Home in Hesperus, CO for Sale
Set on 35 acres with sweeping views of the La Plata Mountains, this distinctive Colorado log home offers privacy, space and a true rural setting just outside Durango. Built in 2007, the home was intentionally positioned to capture the mountain views and create separation from neighboring properties. With no HOA or covenants, there is room here to enjoy the property in your own way.
Covered porches extend along the front, side and back of the home, creating multiple places to take in the surrounding landscape. Inside, the spacious floor plan offers convenient main-level living. The primary suite features a bay window, private bath with a jetted tub, large shower and two closets. A second bedroom and full bath are also located on the main level, while two additional bedrooms are upstairs.
Originally constructed as a log home, the exterior has since been framed and insulated. Inside, you’ll still find the warmth and character of the home’s log construction, along with solid-wood cabinetry and solid-surface countertops. A freestanding pellet stove provides heat and the fireplace offers the option for wood burning.
Outside, the mostly cleared and fenced acreage has previously supported cattle, horses and crops. A substantial 30’ x 40’ metal shop with 220-volt power provides plenty of room for equipment, projects, vehicles or storage, and a chicken coop adds to the property’s rural functionality.
Domestic water is currently hauled and stored in a 1,000-gallon cistern, and the home includes a water softener and reverse-osmosis drinking-water system. An additional well on the property has historically been used for livestock.
Whether you’re looking for elbow room, a place for animals and projects, or simply a private home surrounded by Southwest Colorado scenery, this property offers 35 acres, mountain views and the freedom of rural living without an HOA.
For buyers looking for a more self-sufficient rural lifestyle, the property offers an appealing foundation. The 35 acres have previously supported cattle, horses and crops, with room for gardens, animals, equipment and future projects. A 30’ x 40’ metal shop provides substantial workspace and storage, while a 1,000-gallon domestic water cistern and an artesian well that feeds the pond add to the property’s existing rural infrastructure. With no HOA or covenants, there is flexibility to shape the property around your own vision for country living.
