Gabi Bergstrom, RE/MAX Pinnacle, C:,,: Experience elevated mountain living in The Cliffs of Durango, an exclusive gated community just 10 minutes from downtown. This expansive 35-acre lot includes a designated 5-acre homesite positioned atop a gentle slope, offering panoramic views of the Animas Valley and the La Plata Mountains. With all paved roads, high-speed internet availability, and year-round HOA maintenance, this homesite offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and natural beauty. The lot is ready to build, with a private well already installed. The gently sloping terrain makes construction easy while maximizing unobstructed views. The Cliffs of Durango was thoughtfully planned to preserve the native landscape through defined zones, including a Building Envelope, Limited Use Area, and Pasture Area. Horses are allowed (up to 5 on most tracts), and the community welcomes a lifestyle that blends outdoor living with estate-caliber luxury. Architectural guidelines promote a refined mountain vernacular using natural materials like stone, wood, and rusted steel. Main residence must be a minimum of 3,200 sq ft, with a maximum of 12,000 sq ft. One guest house (up to 2,000 sq ft), caretaker's quarters, office/studio, and barn are allowed, but no more than five total buildings per tract. Designs are evaluated to ensure privacy, harmony with the environment, and long-term aesthetic quality. Owners may also enjoy private courtyards, water features, and outbuildings within the approved use areas, subject to review. Residents have direct access to the private trail network, which meanders through the Cliffs and connects to the vast San Juan National Forest-ideal for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. This property is also just a short drive from Purgatory Ski Resort for world-class winter recreation and Dalton Ranch Golf Club for championship golf. And when it's time for dining, shopping, or culture, vibrant downtown Durango is just minutes away. Whether you're envisioning a peaceful mountain retreat or a legacy estate surrounded by nature, this 35-acre parcel at $495,000 offers exceptional value in one of Durango's most exclusive gated communities. Let your vision take shape in a setting that honors both luxury and the land.
