Private Residence - M

Moving from their 1300 acre horse and cattle ranch nestled in the back country of Durango, Colorado they were in search of simplicity, and as one may say, simplicity that only downtown living can offer. For so many years of spending life secluded among the quietness of their land the intentions were to sacrifice the acreage but endure the private surroundings that ranch living so graciously afforded. When entering the new home on the 'one acre' lot guests enjoy the sight line view of the two young colts sculpture setting amongst the backdrop spruce and weathered pasture fence. Large Canadian limestone outcrops define a natural wall and surround the outdoor patio with a fire pit nuzzled within the stone. Rusted planters and yucca flavor in the 'western' flair. You won't find cattle grazing or horses loping free across large open pastures any longer. However, the privacy of mixed spruce and pines under planted with mass layering plants allows the private residence to always remember 'the days back on the ranch'!
