This sunny and open cabin is located in one of Colorado's last truly rustic mountain communities. At 9,300 ft in the San Juan Mountains, the cabin is nestled in a valley surrounded by tall peaks and some of the country's most scenic 4 wheel drive roads, pristine hiking trails, and phenomenal skiing. Whether you drive a jeep, ride an ATV, seek community to raise a family, or adore the quiet of the wildflowers in the high country, this cabin provides a 4 season retreat in the form of a year-round home. The location could not be more ideal for hardy mountain folk: 25 minutes to Purgatory Ski Area/Durango Mountain Resort, 10 minutes to Silverton Mountain Ski Area, an hour and a half to Telluride Ski Area, 2 minutes to Kendall Mountain Ski Area, instant access to the Alpine Loop, a short walk to restaurants in the historic district of Silverton and the Durango Silverton Scenic Train, hiking trails right out the door, an innovative, high-performing school district that recently underwent a $12m renovation of its facilities, and a community preschool.  The house features passive solar heat, a wood stove, wood floors, 22'ceilings in the living and dining areas, views of the mountains in 4 directions, and a lovely south-side porch.  It is on one of Silverton's quietest streets.  A must see!
