Description

An exceptional opportunity to own Animas River frontage in the heart of Durango’s highly sought-after Animas Valley. Located in La Plata County just minutes from Durango city limits, this remarkable Colorado acreage combines riverfront living, predominantly level and usable land, dramatic red-cliff and mountain views, agricultural character, and convenient access to everything Durango has to offer. A comprehensive environmental study has already been completed, providing valuable information for buyers as they evaluate future building plans and potential homesites. The property offers multiple potential building areas, with the Seller’s preferred homesite situated in a peaceful meadow overlooking the Animas River—an extraordinary setting where the sounds of flowing water, mature trees, open land, and expansive valley views define the experience. Mature cottonwoods and towering shade trees line portions of the property and river corridor, while Durango’s iconic Animas Valley red cliffs create a spectacular backdrop in both directions. Looking north, the property captures long views through the valley toward Missionary Ridge along with glimpses of the San Juan Mountains beyond. The land currently benefits from agricultural tax status through cattle grazing, resulting in exceptionally low property taxes compared with many residential properties; buyers should independently verify continued eligibility and future tax treatment based on their intended use. Predominantly level terrain provides flexibility for a future custom home, horses, agricultural use, recreation, or a private family retreat, subject to applicable county requirements and approvals. The location is equally compelling, offering the privacy and open space of the Animas Valley while remaining convenient to downtown Durango, restaurants, shopping, schools, the Animas River Trail, Dalton Ranch, hiking, biking, skiing, fishing and the year-round recreation of Southwest Colorado. Whether you are searching for Durango riverfront land, Animas Valley acreage, a future luxury homesite, equestrian property, Colorado ranch land, or a legacy property to hold for generations, opportunities combining usable acreage, Animas River frontage, mountain views, agricultural character and this level of proximity to Durango are increasingly difficult to find.
