Imagine coming home to a place where connection, nature, and thoughtful design come together. This beautifully built home, thoughtfully constructed in 2000, is located in Heartwood Cohousing, a multigenerational community set on 360 acres of meadow, pine forest, and pastureland just outside Durango, Colorado.

With over 300 days of sunshine each year, easy access to the San Juan Mountains and Colorado Plateau, and miles of trails right outside your door, this home offers a rare balance of privacy, shared amenities, and everyday beauty. Covered front and rear porches, a balcony off the primary bedroom, and lush, drought-tolerant gardens invite you to enjoy life indoors and out.

The home backs up to forested common land and offers direct access to Heartwood’s shared amenities, including a common house for shared meals, gatherings and guest rooms, full carpentry workshop, hot tub, playground, greenhouse, organic farmland, pastures and barns for horses and livestock, pickleball/ tennis/ basketball court, yurt, and 7+ miles of hiking/ biking/ cross country ski trails.
