Everyone knows the Animas Valley is the "banana belt" of Durango, Colorado, and this beautiful property is a rare offering. This single level ranch style home features stunning picture windows that frame the iconic Hermosa Cliffs, along with an oversized 2+ car garage offering plenty of room for trucks, toys, and a workshop. The home has been well maintained and offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double vanity in the primary bedroom, and a functional, comfortable layout ready for its next owner. Some photos of this listing may include virtually staged amenities, furniture or fixtures” The fully usable acreage is equally impressive. Complete with irrigation, which has not been utilized this season, the pasture is typically lush and green and has historically accommodated two horses. The private well provides ample water, and the manufactured home on the property can remain as an income producing rental (previously leased for $1,500 per month) or be removed, leaving utilities already in place for a future structure, subject to county approval. Set back from the main road, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with minimal road noise while remaining just minutes from Animas Valley Elementary School, Dalton Ranch Golf Club, PJ's Gourmet Market, and the legendary BLT sandwiches at Hermosa Creek Grill. Properties offering this much fully usable acreage in the heart of the Animas Valley are increasingly rare. Whether you're looking for an equestrian property, investment opportunity, or a place to build your long term vision, this property is filled with potential.
