Thirty-five private acres in Redtail, one of the most prestigious mountain neighborhoods in the Durango area. Located above the Hermosa Valley and accessed through two private gates, this parcel feels remarkably removed while remaining within approximately 20 minutes of nearly everything that defines the North County lifestyle. Ski at Purgatory Resort, play Glacier Club or Dalton Ranch, spend the afternoon at Durango Hot Springs Resort, or head into downtown Durango—all without sacrificing the privacy of a true mountain retreat. The setting is spectacular. Engineer Mountain anchors the northern horizon, with panoramic views sweeping across Castle Rock and the famous red cliffs of the Hermosa Valley. Nearby access points into the National Forest to the east further expand the recreational opportunities beyond the property itself. The neighboring 35-acre parcel is also being offered for sale, allowing a buyer to acquire either tract individually or combine the two for approximately 70 contiguous acres. Opportunities to control this much land in a gated setting with this combination of views, access, recreation, and proximity to Durango are increasingly difficult to find
Welcome to Red Tail Mountain Ranch, where you’ll find breathtaking mountain views, quiet and peaceful living with wildlife as your closest neighbors, and some of the finest home sites in the Animas Valley. Looking South, this lot offers views of the valley with the river meandering to town and to the North views of Hermosa Cliffs, Engineer and neighboring peaks. Easy terrain with a few options for your home site, plenty of Ponderosa, Gambel Oak, and wildflowers dot this beautiful landscape. Electric, telephone and natural gas services to the property line as well as domestic well in place. The roads through Redtail are paved and maintained for year around access. Gated subdivision offering a safe and private location for your primary or second home in the mountains. Seller has done a well test, a geotechnical/soils study, and property is flagged.
