WHERE SERENITY MEETS GRAND MOUNTAIN LIVING Tucked into 1.5 private acres beneath striking red cliffs, Celebration Pond is a place where nature sets the rhythm and luxury shapes the experience. Mornings begin with sunlight glimmering across the pond and fruit trees swaying gently in the mountain breeze. Evenings wind down beneath expansive Colorado skies, where quiet settles in and stars take center stage.
Perfectly positioned between historic downtown Durango and the slopes of Purgatory Resort, this spacious retreat offers the rare combination of peaceful seclusion and effortless access to adventure.
With 4,300 square feet of beautifully remodeled living space, six bedrooms, and multiple gathering areas, this home was designed for connection, celebration, and rest. It’s an ideal escape for multigenerational families, group getaways, and friends seeking both shared experiences and private retreats.
COMFORT IN EVERY SEASON Colorado summers are typically mild, but the home is fully equipped to keep you comfortable no matter the weather:
Central air conditioning throughout the entire home
Whole-house fan for fresh mountain airflow
Large windows inviting in natural light and alpine breezes
Every room has been thoughtfully prepared so you can relax in comfort year-round.
THE LIVING EXPERIENCE Step inside and discover a home crafted for both gathering and unwinding.
The main level welcomes you with open, inviting spaces centered around a chef’s kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a professional Thor range, and ZLINE appliances — perfect for everything from morning coffee rituals to celebratory dinners.
Just beyond, a sunroom dining area overlooks the pond, creating a peaceful setting where meals feel like moments. The primary suite offers a private sanctuary with a king bed, spa-style shower, walk-in closet, and in-suite washer and dryer. An adjacent office with a queen sofa bed and full bath provides flexibility for work or additional guests.
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms — including two kings and one full — create comfortable private spaces for rest, along with a second laundry set for convenience during longer stays.
On the lower level, the home transforms into an entertainment retreat. Two more bedrooms, a media room, and a game lounge with pool table and foosball make this level perfect for movie nights, friendly competition, and relaxed evenings together.
OUTDOOR LIVING, ELEVATED Outside, Celebration Pond reveals its true magic.
Enjoy sweeping views of Hermosa Mountain and Missionary Ridge from the expansive deck. Grill dinner in crisp mountain air, sip wine while watching reflections ripple across the pond, or gather for yard games beneath the open sky.
For a truly memorable experience, opt into the private hot tub and soak beneath a canopy of brilliant Colorado stars as cool alpine air drifts around you. (Signed waiver required. $75 cleaning fee applies.)
SEAMLESS CONNECTIVITY High-speed Spectrum internet blankets the property, making streaming, remote work, and staying connected effortless — even in this peaceful mountain setting.

Thanks so much. We are so glad you guys had a great time. We would love to host you again. Thanks for being such great guests
The host was excellent at responding to anything we needed and even being in front of potential things. The house had all the things promised in the pictures and listing.
The house is even better than it looks online! It was spacious and had multiple main rooms for hanging out. The beds were super comfy as well. We are definitely going to book again next year!
