This craftsman-inspired mountain home was the personal residence of the founders of Mantell-Hecathorn Builders, one of the finest custom home builders in the region. Their primary residence was constructed with the exacting standard of quality their company is notorious for, without compromise from foundation to finish.

Their primary residence was constructed with the exacting standard of quality their company is notorious for, without compromise from foundation to finish. It's little wonder this home was the 2007 First Place People’s Choice Award Luxury Category in the Durango Parade of Homes. The two-story exterior of this home features a combination of old-world stone masonry, timber-framing and cedar shingle siding that sets this home apart. Every room offers panoramic views of the La Platas, Twin Buttes, Bodo Mountains or San Juan Mountains. The 5400+ sq. ft. home includes five bedrooms and five baths (two are half baths), a separate recreation room, enclosed breezeway, plus three viewing decks, 2100 sq.ft. of stone patios, and a three car garage, all on 35 beautiful acres in Durango Ridge Ranch approximately nine miles west of Durango off Highway 160. The interior is breathtaking: walking through the custom entry, one looks east into great room wall of glass and endless mountain views. Vaulted ceilings and expansive gabled windows take advantage of the views. Slate and hardwood floors complement the mission style custom cherry cabinetry and stone features in the great room, and the recently renovated gourmet kitchen, complete with all new appliances and a quartz countertop island. Bathrooms are also wrapped in the warmth of natural stone and wood finishes. The stair and bridge railings and the finish trim throughout the home are detailed from clear cedar in the craftsman tradition. Over 40 years of building exceptional homes for clients with the highest standards has earned Mantell-Hecathorn Builders a remarkable reputation and this is one of their finest and most fully envisioned custom showplaces. The current owners have made exceptional upgrades to the property inside and out, and have maintained this property meticulously, including the custom media center in the living room, upgrades to the master bathroom, the addition of a covered porch to the rear and stunning custom stone planter wall, re-staining the entire exterior in 2019, repainting the interior in 2021, and more. Please see Associated Docs for a full features list and additional information.
