Ashley Blackmore, Blackmore Group, O:,,: Rarely does an opportunity like this become available in the heart of Durango's coveted Animas Valley. Located in La Plata County just minutes from Durango city limits, this extraordinary riverfront property offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and breathtaking natural beauty. A comprehensive environmental study has already been completed, giving future owners confidence as they plan their dream estate. The land is predominantly level and highly usable, with multiple potential building envelopes. The seller's preferred homesite is nestled in the peaceful meadow overlooking the river, where the sounds of the flowing Animas create an unmatched Colorado setting. The property benefits from an agricultural tax status through cattle grazing, resulting in exceptionally low annual property taxes. Mature cottonwoods and towering shade trees frame the landscape, while the iconic red cliffs of the Animas Valley provide a dramatic backdrop in both directions. Looking north, enjoy uninterrupted views up the valley toward Missionary Ridge, complemented by stunning glimpses of the majestic San Juan Mountains. Whether you envision a private luxury estate, equestrian property, family retreat, or legacy ranch, this remarkable parcel offers an increasingly rare combination of river frontage, usable land, spectacular scenery, and proximity to downtown Durango. The Animas Valley is renowned for its scenic beauty, agricultural heritage, and access to outdoor recreation, making it one of Southwest Colorado's most sought-after locations.
