About this property

Ultra Green Modern Mountain Home

The home has a 360' wrap around porch, with the back porch facing the Hermosa cliffs to the west. Upon entering the home, you'll be taken by the massive wood Cathedral Ceilings, open floor plan, and wall of windows to the south. The front porch is screened during the summer, and an arctic entry during the winter months. Views to the South, East, and West are of mountains and forest.

Our 1800 Sq ft, 3 bedroom, 3-1/2 bath, custom home was finished the spring of 2020. It offers privacy and seclusion as it sits at the very end of the road with a 132 acre parcel to the north that you are free to access. It is 2 miles from Purgatory ski resort and 25 miles from downtown Durango.

The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The main living space features a 60 inch flat screen OLED Smart TV with Sonos Surround Sound System and wood burning fireplace (wood provided).

The master bedroom is on the main floor and has a king size bed with En-Suite Bath. One of the upstairs bedrooms also has a king, the other a queen.

5 stars - Highly recommend staying here, and will book again on our next visit. The home is extremely clean, and the layout and build quality is great. Cant express enough how clean the home was...Had all we needed to stay 5 days. Tucked 8 minutes off 550 in the trees, the location is perfect sitting right between Silverton and Durango. Thank you and well done Sean.

This house was a great fit for our family. The kids loved the openness and the outdoor space. The only thing missing that I never located was a cutting board. The proximity to Purgatory ski resort was superior!

We love staying at this home. It's our second time and won't be our last and in fact, have referred some of our friends that have booked for later this year. Sean is THE BEST host and we consider him a friend! He'll pull out all the stops to ensure his guests have a fantastic stay. The house is so well appointed you won't need to bring a thing. The views are gorgeous, the home is so warm and inviting and the beds are fantastic. We love this little slice of heaven in the mountains!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin and would absolutely return. Although the home does not have air conditioning, we never missed it. The stunning radiant floors were one of our favorite features and kept the house at a perfectly comfortable temperature throughout our stay. The home was exceptionally clean and comfortable. One of the unexpected highlights was the water system. The shower had the best water pressure we’ve ever experienced, and the hot water arrived instantly throughout the home.The property itself is spectacular. With more than 135 acres to explore, we enjoyed walking the land and taking in the peaceful surroundings. The wraparound walkway leads to a beautiful patio where we spent evenings enjoying a glass of wine while watching the sun set over the mountains. The wall of windows along one side brings the outdoors in and creates a calming connection with nature. The house blends perfectly with its surroundings. We appreciated all the extras, including the games, puzzles, TV options, cabinetry and especially the laundry facilities. Having no neighbors was a rare luxury and added to the peaceful experience. The location is ideal for exploring Durango, Silverton, and Ouray, and we thoroughly enjoyed driving the Million Dollar Highway. There is so much to see and do that a week wasn’t nearly enough.It’s obvious the owners put a great deal of thought into this home. Thank you for sharing the lovely property. We highly recommend it!

There aren't even words to say how incredible our stay was with Sean's gorgeous mountain home. You couldn't ask for a better host (who we now consider a friend!) and the house, the views, every feature and aspect of this beautiful and special place is 10/10. Sean thought of everything and frequently checked on us to be sure we had anything we needed. He truly wants his guests to have an incredible experience and this mountain gem does not disappoint. The ambiance is inviting and warm, the fire (with more firewood provided than you'll ever use) was such a nice end to each day only to be topped by the most comfortable bed! The natural light fills every room and the walls of windows offer views that remind you why you come to the mountains. We stayed for 5 weeks and will be back in just a few for another stay! HIGHLY recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Sean McCormack

Host profile image
Sean grew up in the area, skiing every weekend at Purgatory, and graduating from Durango High School before leaving to experience life outside this rural community. After 25 years, he decided to move back to the mountains of Southwest Colorado to be close to family and all of the outdoor activities.

Why they chose this property

This area is the Saudi Arabia of solar energy, with plenty of water and lots of trees. It is easy to build a comfortable and highly sustainable life here. Sean also owns the 132 acres to the north. All of the houses (including this one), barns, and greenhouses were built using wood harvested from the property. The 27' x 110' greenhouse provides fruits and vegetables not only for Sean and Leslie, but for a number of other families in the area. Standing dead trees are harvested and provide a backup heat source for all the homes and buildings, with an additional 120 cords of wood harvested for sale, providing a carbon neutral source of heat. The trees are harvested primarily to improve the health of the forest.

What makes this property unique

There is nothing better than cozying up to a real wood fire after a full day of skiing, watching the snow fall during the winter, or lounging on the covered deck and watching the sun disappear over the mountains during the summer. The kids will have a great time exploring the forest, fishing in the nearby creeks or lake, biking, horseback riding, riding the Alpine Slide and Mountain Coaster at Purgatory, or the many other activities close by.
