The Olander family has owned this river front property below Lemon Reservoir since the 60’s. The property already has a nice log cabin on it but the second home was a small and very old house. This house had fallen into disrepair and because it lacked modern insulation, plumbing etc… they decided it was time for a replacement. So they hired Will Construction to demolish the old house, design a new one, and then complete the construction of their new custom home. Located in the mountains North West of Durango right on the Florida river the site is great. Beautiful mountain views in all directions and of course the sound of the river make it a great location for a mountain cabin. The house we designed is a modest 1500 Square ft. and a very simple design. This will allow our clients to enjoy the mountains and the scenery, not maintaining their home. The exterior will be finished with stucco leading to a virtually maintenance free exterior. The inside will have tile floor throughout, high efficiency heating and a wood burning stove for that mountain ambiance. This is certainly another example of how a custom home in Durango doesn’t have to be expensive!
