HEART STONE HOUSE is a stunning 2500sqft. Eco-Friendly 4 bedroom/2.5 bathroom contemporary home perched on the yucca & pinion tree spotted foothills just 2 miles north of historic downtown Durango. We're a short stroll away from the famous Animas Mountain Trail for biking & hiking, as well as numerous amenities, including a market, city parks, a biking trail that hugs the Animas River, the Durango Recreation Center, & many local-favorite restaurants. Welcome to our Eco-Friendly Oasis! Our home uses 100%, non-toxic and chemical-free cleaning supplies, soaps, and detergents, amenable to those with allergies and chemical sensitivities. All of our bedding and bathroom linens are organic and/or GOTS and Oeko-Tex certified, and made from all natural fabrics, like 100% cotton, bamboo, wool and flax linen, promoting purity, comfort and breathability. All king sized bed pillows are 100% goose down and chemical-free. The master bedroom includes a 3” organic latex mattress topper that provides support, purity & comfort. The other two bedrooms feature king-size memory foam enhanced mattresses that are hand-crafted in the USA using environmentally friendly and bio-grade foams, meaning they are odor and toxic chemical free, naturally antimicrobial, hypoallergenic & dust mite resistant. These mattresses are specifically designed to provide balanced comfort and support. To maximize your comfort, we have added toppers to both beds, and they are divinely cozy! The Red Room has a 2” Avocado Green latex mattress topper, and the Blue Room has a luxurious 3” memory foam topper. Our home features a whole house water filter to ensure the most pristine water for your showers and baths. An additional under-sink water filter delivers healthy, ultra-pure, great-tasting water. The vaulted ceilings and open floor plan allow for a feeling of spaciousness, while the many windows let in ample sunlight. Enjoy the impressive rolling mountain views from the front balcony and the back deck. Our beautiful home features 2 parking spaces in the garage and 2 in the driveway, keyless self-check in, modern bathrooms, dimmable lighting, musical instruments, in-floor hydronic heat, HE laundry facilities and a fully equipped kitchen with every convenience the culinary artist would need, including juicer, food processor, sparkling water maker, blender, cast iron skillets, rice cooker, mandolin, zoodler, coffee machine, and numerous other items. The master suite, which boasts bamboo flooring, stylish ceramic tile, shower and a large soaking tub, and a 55 inch Vizio flatscreen TV, is privately tucked away from the rest of the house, on the main level, so it’s quiet and secluded, with its own AC unit for climate control. The second and third bedrooms are located on the entry level. The fourth bedroom doubles as an office/den with a desk and has a stylish daybed, which can function as two separate twin beds or one Queen Plus bed, and includes organic, comfy bedding. NOTE: the modern architecture of the home, which highlights soaring ceilings and open floor plan, means that this bedroom/office has no ceiling enclosing it; thus, while it’s visually appealing and spacious, it’s also exposed to the noises of the main living area, including the kitchen and living room. It’s a great space for those who mostly plan on sleeping there at night, while playing most of the day, or as a bedroom for kiddos. The room has a generous window to let in the light, as well as a large closet for your belongings. The half bath is located in close proximity. The Blue Room features a king-sized bed as well as a futon to sleep one not-especially tall adult or up to two children. We also offer a quality non-toxic, self-inflating queen-sized air mattress with ample bedding to sleep two more guests in the living room.

The downstairs naturally stays cooler, and the warmth of the summer months can be remediated, if necessary, by opening the downstairs windows at night and closing them in the morning or by using the portable AC units (there is one in each downstairs bedroom). We also have two high-quality, super quiet pedestal fans for your use.

Access to the Animas Mountain Trail is less than a block away, and accessible from our backyard.
