Lightner Creek Estate: Secluded 33ac 12 min to DGO

Welcome to Lightner Creek Canyon just minutes from downtown Historic Durango and <45 min to Purgatory Ski resort.

The secluded and very private estate has plenty of room to hike, bike, or just enjoy the outdoors or better yet cozy by the spectacular stone fireplace while peering out the large living room window to see nature and the beautiful Silver Mountain.

While you are close to the city, you will feel like you are nestled in the mountains. Enjoy the creek as you walk through the willows.
