For buyers searching for low-maintenance luxury homes in Durango, Colorado, Clubhouse Village at Glacier Club offers a limited collection of eight standalone mountain homes in Southwest Colorado’s San Juan Mountains. Positioned steps from Glacier’s Mountain Clubhouse, the neighborhood includes three- and four-bedroom residences across The Pioneer, The Ace + Bunk and The Maverick floor plans, along with a larger turnkey spec home at Residence 5. 

Private terraces and garages provide space for outdoor living, vehicles and mountain gear, while dining, fitness, the pool, spa and other member amenities are close by. The combination supports an easy lock-and-leave lifestyle, whether owners spend a weekend, a season or more of the year at Glacier. 

What Is Clubhouse Village at Glacier Club?

Clubhouse Village is a residential neighborhood within Glacier Club, a private mountain and golf community set among 14,000-foot peaks and nearly two million acres of National Forest. Its eight residences range from 2,609 to 4,317 square feet and offer several approaches to mountain living, from generous main-level layouts to flexible bonus rooms and a large turnkey residence with views down the Animas Valley. 

Lock-and-Leave Mountain Living at Glacier 

Clubhouse Village is designed for owners who want the space and privacy of a detached residence without being removed from daily life at the club. 

The homes pair private outdoor living with two-car garages, storage for vehicles and gear, and floor plans that accommodate family, guests, work and extended stays. Rather than organizing a day around getting to the club, owners can move easily between home and the Mountain Clubhouse. 

Beyond the neighborhood, Glacier opens onto the San Juan Mountains, with golf, hiking, fishing, skiing and other four-season recreation throughout the region. 

What Homes Are Available at Clubhouse Village? 

The Pioneer | Residences 1 and 2
17 Clubhouse Village Drive | 25 Clubhouse Village Drive

The Pioneer offers 2,609 square feet, four bedrooms, four full baths plus a powder room and a two-car garage. 

Its open-concept main level brings the kitchen, dining and living areas together for gatherings, while large sliding doors extend the living space onto a private terrace. Bedrooms and flexible spaces allow the home to adapt for guests, work, media or fitness. Natural stone and timber add warmth alongside contemporary architectural detailing. 

The Ace + Bunk | Residences 3 and 4
47 Clubhouse Village Drive | 63 Clubhouse Village Drive

The Ace+ Bunk offers 3,011 square feet, three bedrooms plus a bonus room, four full baths plus a powder room and a two-car garage with a dedicated golf cart bay. 

Inspired by Glacier’s Ironhouse cabins, the plan is organized around generous main-level living. The primary suite and two guest suites share the main floor with an open kitchen, dining area and great room that connects to a spacious covered patio. 

Upstairs, a bonus room with a full bath can serve as a fourth bedroom or flexible living space. The homes use the same materials and finishes as The Pioneer and The Maverick, maintaining a consistent architectural character across the collection. 

Residence 5 | Turnkey Spec Home
69 Clubhouse Village Drive

At 4,317 square feet, Residence 5 is the most expansive home in the first phase of Clubhouse Village. The four-bedroom turnkey spec home takes in spectacular views down the Animas Valley and includes four full baths plus a powder room and a two-car garage. 

Open kitchen, dining and living areas connect to covered decks on the main level, alongside the primary suite, guest suite and dedicated office. Upstairs, a bonus room, bunk room and additional guest bedroom provide added space for family and visitors. 

The Maverick | Residences 6 Through 8
64 Clubhouse Village Drive | 52 Clubhouse Village Drive | 36 Clubhouse Village Drive

The Maverick offers 2,618 square feet across two levels, with a main-level primary suite, expansive windows and terraces, flexible living spaces and a two-car garage. 

Residence 6 is a three-bedroom variation of The Maverick, with a modified lower level configured with two bedrooms. Residences 7 and 8 offer four bedrooms, including three bedrooms on the lower level. 

The kitchen flows into the great room and dining area, while flexible spaces provide room for work or relaxation. Modern stone and wood details add warmth, balanced by clean lines and contemporary finishes. 

Living Close to the Mountain Clubhouse 

For buyers evaluating private club community real estate in Durango, Clubhouse Village offers the advantage of living close to the amenities that are part of everyday life at Glacier.

Reserved for homeowners and Glacier Club members, the Mountain Clubhouse includes dining, a gym, pool, spa, pro shop, game room, kids’ playroom and a patio overlooking the mountains. The proximity allows club life to fit naturally into the day, whether it’s a lunch, a workout, time by the pool or an evening at the clubhouse. 

Four-Season Living in the San Juan Mountains 

Clubhouse Village is positioned between downtown Durango and Purgatory Ski Resort, with lakes, trails and high-country recreation surrounding Glacier in nearly every direction. Lake Haviland, Chris Park and Electra Lake are all nearby, while the wider San Juans offer access to alpine terrain, mountain streams, historic towns and miles of National Forest. 

The experience changes with the season. Spring rounds and summer days in the high country give way to fall color and winter in the San Juans. For owners, that means Clubhouse Village can serve just as naturally for shorter visits as it can for a season or longer stretches of the year. 

Who Is Clubhouse Village Suited To?

Clubhouse Village is designed for buyers who want a standalone mountain residence, room for family and guests and close access to Glacier’s private club lifestyle. 

The range of floor plans gives buyers several options within the same neighborhood: four-bedroom Pioneer residences, three-bedroom Ace + Bunk homes with a bonus room that can serve as a fourth bedroom, the larger turnkey Residence 5 and three- or four-bedroom Maverick configurations. 

For buyers who prefer a defined home and floor plan over beginning with a custom estate homesite, Clubhouse Village offers another way to own at Glacier. 

Are Clubhouse Village Homes Townhomes? 

No. Clubhouse Village residences are standalone mountain homes, not attached townhomes. The distinction is useful for buyers searching for luxury townhomes in Durango, CO who may be looking for similar qualities, including a manageable residential scale, amenities nearby, garage space and a lock-and-leave lifestyle, but prefer the privacy of a detached home.

Clubhouse Village combines eight standalone residences with close proximity to the Mountain Clubhouse and year-round access to the San Juan Mountains.

Ironhorse North

Located on the Mountain Golf Course, Ironhorse North has become one of the most sought-after collections.

Ironhorse North has only one remaining homesite to be purchased — Homesite 6, which is expected to be finished by December 2023.

Every year, new changes in the world bring new possibilities for how we choose to live and grow, particularly when it comes to real estate and hospitality. Michael Gullotti, the Managing Broker at Glacier’s newest dedicated brokerage, Glacier Realty, is excited to share the trends they see for 2022, as well as the latest Glacier residential products that meet these demands. Our local market in the region is growing and evolving – read more below to see what’s happening around the world and right here on the ground at Glacier.

Work from Home, Work from Anywhere

The new era of remote working has rapidly transformed modern living. It’s changed not only how people work, but how we live and curate our amenities. In addition to the increasing prominence of work-from-home culture, teleworking has also birthed the work-from-anywhere lifestyle, which means our primary residence is no longer tied to a single location.

Glacier has increased remote working capabilities, having installed Fiber1 connection throughout the community. For professionals who require the flexibility to plug in and plug out at their immediate convenience – the option is readily available.

Alpine Lifestyle 

The past few years have left people longing to reconnect with nature and rustic ways of life. According to Gullotti, mountain towns are growing as a whole. Sales will continue to increase as people yearn to move up and out of overcrowded cities, enjoying a blend of modern and rural with access to an active lifestyle. 

Contemporary and rugged sensibilities find a true union in Etta Ridge at Glacier, an exclusive collection of highland residences nestled among century-old ponderosa pines. This secluded collection of 3- and 4-bedroom floor plans grants enough privacy for an escape, yet enough amenities for the ease of mind that people are looking for.

Land Preservation

Conservation is an age-old movement of American history. The National Audubon Society ensures Glacier’s pristine beauty by limiting the amount of Glacier-owned land that can be developed, which is approximately 500 out of 1,000 acres. The San Juan National Forest we call home is rich in biodiversity, and Glacier is proud to preserve this slice of it. 

Tucked away amidst a grove of pines is the latest collection of idyllic golf cabin retreats immersed in alpine scenery. Lining the upper edge of the 3rd hole of our championship Mountain Course, this collection offers three-bedroom and three-bedroom + den floor plans that marry rustic heritage architecture with high-end modernity.

The Best of Both Worlds

This enclave is an opportunity to carve out your own personal haven in nature — one that gives up neither comfort nor adventure. With a Western design paired with contemporary interiors nestled in the woodlands, Ironhorse North Cabins are a guaranteed serene retreat.

Thoughtfully Curated Details

Come home to a vaulted cedar ceiling, custom finishes and an open-concept floor plan that flows seamlessly outdoors to an expansive patio. And with garage space for two cars and a golf cart, families are free to explore their 1,000-acre backyard, and beyond, with ease.

Etta Ridge, Glacier’s newest real estate offering, is an enclave of luxurious three- and four-bedroom condominiums that are aptly suited to worry-free, come-and-go living unlike anything else in Southwest Colorado. So when giving a name to this intimate, modern mountain experience, we greatly considered the adventurous and authentic escapism that encapsulates the Glacier lifestyle.

That’s how this one-of-a-kind collection of mountain residences earned its name from Etta Place, the leading woman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid — one of Hollywood’s greatest Westerns filmed right here in Durango. Inspired by her mystifying storyline, as well as the rare parcel’s location atop a distinct promontory amid century-old ponderosa pines, we chose the moniker of Etta Ridge. 

Accompanying the new name are our two floor plans of The Sundance and The Cassidy — the other two members of the notorious “Wild Bunch.” Behind the luxury and sophistication, there’s always a spark of adventure that calls in the wilderness of Southwest Colorado. 

With flexible floor plans, light-filled interiors, direct and private elevator access and a central location, Etta Ridge is a prime locale to stress less about living logistics and focus on the present. With the tremendous sales success over the past year, Etta Ridge’s first two buildings are nearly pre-sold out and we’re now set to launch Phase II. If you, too, are interested in learning more about Etta Ridge or wish to schedule a private tour when you’re at Glacier next, we welcome you to reach out to our dedicated sales team at [email protected] and explore our brochure in the meantime.

Here at Glacier, we want to help bring your vision to life by removing the typical obstacles and hassles involved with building from the ground up. That way, you can focus your energy on what’s most important to you and your family while we streamline the process. To let homebuyers prioritize more of what matters to them, we’ve created the Craftsman Collection — the most turn-key solution for those who wish to build a modern mountain home within our gates.

And the best part? We make it possible to build in just 14 months. Below, find a step-by-step guide for seeing your Craftsman Collection retreat from start to finish.

With ample space and luxurious builds, The Legacy is one of our premium custom homes.

Choose Your Homesite

When it comes to selecting a plot of land for your ideal house, the main considerations here are location, views and acreage. Consider which facilities you want to be closest to — perhaps you’re fond of walks by the northern Fishing Pond, or maybe you’d like to be right by the Valley Course, close to the action. The Legacy’s predetermined compatible homesite is Homesite 4 — a 1.60-acre lot situated along the fourth hole of the Mountain Course with serene fairway, Glacier Pond and waterfall views. The Ace + Bunk Room is compatible with Homesites 1, 5, 14 & 16, with options of mountain, lake and valley views and varying proximity to each golf course and pine forestry.
