Stone terraces and paved drives with snowmelt systems line the Property, while manicured landscaping including water features, multiple ponds, hardscaping and lush meadows with tall Pine and Scrub Oak trees complement the natural environment. Dramatic vistas of La Plata Mountain range abound; indeed, they can be enjoyed from nearly every vantage point on this incredible Property.
Completed in 2012 by Phillip Liederbach of Chicagos famed Liederbach & Graham Architects, Ute Junction Ranch is built for entertaining. A grand approach leads to a cobbled courtyard reclaimed from Chicago city streets, and the creamy faade of Minnesota limestone stands in contrast to Durangos wide blue skies. Duck, elk and deer freely roam the Propertys extensive acreage, contributing to the serenity and atmosphere of peace that pervades this exceptional estate.
