224 W Durango Rdg, Durango, CO 81301

Surrounded by sweeping views of the La Plata Mountains, Twin Buttes, Perins Peak, and east to the Continental Divide, bordering State of Colorado land to the NW, one of the most desired lots in the gated Durango Ridge Ranch. This 37 acre lot offers hundreds of mature Ponderosa Pines, Sheep Springs Gulch meandering down the lower green meadow, a seasonal pond in the draw, and a spacious level building envelope at the summit make this an exceptional canvas for your future home. A domestic water well is already drilled, all utilities are underground, and roads are well-maintained. Durango Ridge Ranch is a Firewise Community Award recipient, in addition the Seller has done extensive fire mitigation. The subdivision provides private trail access directly into Perins Peak State Wildlife Area for hiking, hunting, and horseback riding, and allows up to seven large farm animals with the option to build a barn. Wildlife is abundant — elk, deer, eagles, hawks, and more are everyday neighbors. Cattle grazing on the ranch helps with an agricultural tax break, keeping annual taxes extremely low while undeveloped. Privacy, views, mature timber, and easy access — this one checks every box.
