Escape to your own private retreat on 2 acres in La Plata, where rustic charm meets modern comfort. This beautifully crafted home evokes the warmth and character of a mountain lodge, offering peaceful countryside living in a quiet, tucked-away setting, yet conveniently located just 15 minutes from Farmington, NM and 45 minutes from Durango, CO. With 2,317 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, this home features 3 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The primary loft bedroom feels like a secluded escape--perfect for unwinding after a long day--while an additional loft adds even more versatility and cozy charm with an abundance of natural light. The fully finished basement creates the ideal space for hosting guests, gathering around for movie nights, or offering a private second living area. What truly sets this home apart is its remarkable craftsmanship. Built with wooden dowels instead of traditional nails or screws in the framing, it reflects an old-world, log cabin-style building approach that highlights both durability and artistry, giving the home a one of a kind character you can feel the moment you step inside. Recent updates ensure comfort and peace of mind, including a new sump pump, well pump, updated bathrooms, in-floor heating, a new boiler tank, refrigerator, and fresh paint. Step outside and soak in the natural beauty with two acres of open space, a fully fenced backyard perfect for pets, and thoughtfully designed landscaping create your own private haven. The deck invites you to sip your morning coffee or unwind in the evenings beneath expansive, star filled skies. If you've been dreaming of a home that feels like a peaceful cabin getaway--without sacrificing convenience--this is it. Buyer to verify square footage and water rights.
