About this property

Luxury Barn on Historic Ranch

  • Surrounded by nature and steeped in the spirit of the Old West, in peaceful, luxurious simplicity.
    Welcome to your sanctuary in the heart of Colorado. A hand-crafted barn apartment nestled on a peaceful 60-acre ranch in Durango. Whether you're traveling to escape the summer heat or seeking a quiet place to reconnect with yourself and your horse, this one-of-a-kind destination offers a rare blend of rustic charm, luxury amenities, deep history, and soulful connection to nature.
    This land is more than just beautiful—it’s rooted in the spirit of the Old West. Originally homesteaded in 1886, the property was once a stop along an old wagon trail that cut through these hills. You can still feel echoes of the past in the landscape—whispers of pioneers, cowboys, and the enduring rhythm of horse and land.
    Every structure on the ranch has been completely rebuilt, preserving its soul but elevating it into a refined, luxurious experience. The old barns were taken down piece by piece—and their wood and character have been lovingly repurposed into handcrafted furniture, cabinetry, and finishes throughout the property. What once was worn and weathered is now artfully revived, creating a warm blend of history, elegance, and natural connection.
    The 1,000 sq ft apartment is thoughtfully designed with artisan craftsmanship throughout—from custom woodwork to hand-built furniture. The spacious Master Suite provides a restful retreat, while the second smaller bedroom—originally an office—has been beautifully converted into a cozy guest space with a dedicated bathroom and convenient hanging storage.The chef’s kitchen is a dream come true, featuring a Viking stove and all the essential tools for cooking up comfort and connection.
    Nature lovers will find peace beside the Florida River, which flows through the property, or relaxing by the tranquil pond under Colorado’s endless sky. Wildlife is abundant here—you may spot deer, wild turkeys, foxes, bobcats, coyotes, bears, lizards, and a wide variety of birds that make this land their home. It’s a perfect setting to unplug, observe, and breathe in the rhythms of the natural world.
    Equestrians are welcome to bring their horses (stall and turnout available for an additional fee). Ride straight from the ranch onto over 500 acres of BLM land—a rider’s paradise with wide-open views and endless exploration. There’s also a riding arena with a few obstacles for training or warm-up, and serene pastures for turnout. While we don’t offer trail rides on-site, a nearby outfitter just down the road does.

    This ranch is more than a place to visit. It’s a place to exhale, to listen, and to remember who you are—with the help of nature, horses, and a setting where every detail has been touched with intention.
    Come as you are. Let the land hold you. Let the horses teach you.
    This is where luxury meets legacy—and the trail ahead leads back to yourself

Loved this place for our sisters weekend! The property was beautiful secluded & peaceful, but a quick drive to anything we needed / wanted to do! The fully stocked kitchen was a pleasant surprise as we all love to cook! We’ll definitely be back!

Gorgeous Country Setting

The home is gorgeous with beautiful finishes. We absolutely loved the details. It was well-appointed with everything we needed in the kitchen. The children were thrilled with the setting above a barn and loved petting Paco the horse who was in a nearby stall. My personal favorite was sitting by the creek each evening. This property is a paradise. We hope to return.

Amazing Vacation property!!!

My family and I loved the ranch home. Our stay was one of the best vacations we have ever experienced and the ranch home was a huge part of it. We even had surprise visitors in the morning (see photos). We will stay there again without question when we visit our friends in Durango again.

Comfortable with luxury decor and furnishings. Extra touches by host were very thoughtful. Views of ranch were great. Deer and turkey wanderingabout were fun to watch. This is our best VRBO experience ever! Would love to stay again!

The stay was perfect for 5 adults and 1 child. We had plenty room for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the beautiful kitchen and views from the balconies. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. Beautiful land and horses. The location to downtown Durango was perfect. We had privacy yet access to town for groceries and restaurants. There was a nice casino nearby as well in Ignacio, it was an easy drive from the stay. There wasn’t snow in Durango so we were able to drive to Wolf Creek and visit the hot springs in Pagossa easily (1.5-2 hr drive).

A wonderful experience.

The photos didn’t do justice for this place. Every detail was thought out and the barn is absolutely beautiful. The ranch is beautiful and the cold plunge in the stream was my favorite part about this this place. We went for a girls trip, and none of us wanted to leave. Everything went smoothly, and I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for an absolutely wonderful experience.

My husband, my best friend and I traveled to Durango from Englewood to partake in the blues train. Last year when my husband and I went, we stayed at a hotel. but this year I booked this wonderful beautiful quiet apartment above the horse barn. The property is breathtaking! The accommodations were amazing rich dark woods western theme of course. The beds were great! The barbecue grill needed propane and Steve, the ranch hand obliged us right away. I can’t say enough good things about this property and our stay in Durango.
