Amber Johnson, R1 Colorado, C:,,: Your Dream Durango Lifestyle AwaitsImagine waking up to breathtaking views and stepping out your back door directly onto one of Durango's most beloved trail systems. This extraordinary 17-acre property offers the ultimate Colorado lifestyle-where natural beauty, privacy, dark nighttime skies, and convenience converge on one of the very last remaining unbuilt lots in the prestigious Horse Gulch subdivision. Protected by a wildlife conservation easement, this private sanctuary features a generous 4.45-acre building envelope perfectly positioned with southern exposure for warmth, light, and stunning year-round vistas. Bordering the protected City of Durango Horse Gulch Trail system to the west, you are guaranteed access to open space, unmatched privacy, and front-row sunset views. You can easily bike or walk straight into town, yet the setting feels pristine, quiet, and deeply historic, featuring a large unexcavated kiva.
