Animas Valley Gem! Rare opportunity to own riverfront property in the coveted north Animas Valley. This picturesque 3.9 acre parcel is located just off County Road 250 along the Animas River with a magnificent stand of mature Ponderosa Pines and a wonderful, flat pasture area. This property features a recently remodeled sunny cottage with one bedroom and one bath with vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan. It features large windows to allow for maximum light & views, situated above a finished oversized two-car garage & workshop. A nearly complete remodel with a brand new kitchen, all new fixtures throughout, new interior paint and exterior stain make this a move-in ready studio. Enjoy the convenience of central water and a recently inspected septic that is sized for up to four bedrooms and an abundance of irrigation water. The guest cottage/studio provides the perfect place to live (or rent out) while you design your dream home or live in it as is and start designing gardens or an ideal set up for horses or other livestock. Extensive fire mitigation work and dirt work along the river has been done. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to own this exceptional parcel in the gorgeous Animas Valley next to several multi-million dollar properties! The beautiful property itself offers views of Engineer Mountain and the Hermosa Cliffs, pine trees and meadows, as well as nearly 200 feet of Animas River frontage. Don't miss the views from the river and imagine your dream home here! The property is conveniently located only 11 miles north of downtown Durango and 15 miles from Purgatory Ski Area. This is the perfect opportunity for someone seeking to put roots down in Durango in the Animas Valley. In addition to your dream home, there is space for horses, barn, outbuildings & more. Imagine fly fishing, hiking & biking out your backyard. There is ample space in the meadow to build a larger home or there is the potential to build even closer to the river! **Per Todd at the La Plata County Building Department, the FEMA flood maps are being revised, which may allow the potential new owner to build a second residence 50 feet from the high water mark and enjoy the breath-taking views of the Animas River and Engineer Mountain. Buyer to confirm FEMA information and any future building potential on the lot.**
