Beautiful buildable wooded lot ready to build that perfect Mountain home! only about 6 miles from the wonderful town of Durango Colorado. Surrounded by larger acreage lots than most of the subdivisions in this area. This property sits above the Edgemont Highlands subdivision. There are million dollar homes on every side of this special place, but feels very private with the many large trees and rock out cropping's! There is an older 912 sf. cabin with a giant wood stove that you can live in while you build and use as a guest cabin later! The large unfinished attic has plenty of room for storage. There is a 1500 gallon cistern that has a new pressure pump switch. There is a newer propane hot water heater. The washer/dryer, microwave as well as the refrigerator and electric stove are included. The 10 x 20 tool shed is heated and has plenty of room to store your outdoor gear and more! The septic system for the cabin is updated and transfer of title is complete. National Forest access just up the road. No HOA or dues but there is a volunteer road board for the county maintained roads. Cabin can be rented out. RV's are allowed. Vallecito Lake and Lemon Lake are only a half hour up CR 240. Don't miss the chance to own land this close to town but feel like you are miles away!
