Dreaming of building your off-grid sanctuary or a secluded retreat that’s still within reach of town? This rare 40-acre parcel in the heart of La Posta Canyon offers the perfect balance of solitude and accessibility. Located just 12.5 miles from a gourmet market & butcher shop, as well as a home improvement store, with the rest of Durango’s amenities mere minutes beyond, this property is ideal for those seeking privacy without total isolation. The land features rolling terrain that rises dramatically to a mesa top, offering commanding views of the surrounding La Posta Canyon mountains and down the valley. Whether you’re envisioning a cabin, homestead, or a simple basecamp for outdoor exploration, the landscape is ripe with opportunity. Please note: the property does contain an active oil/gas well pad, as well as some legacy trash and discarded materials from previous activity—an honest reflection of its past, and a blank canvas for your future. No utilities are currently installed, making this an ideal spot for a fully self-sufficient, off-grid setup. Embrace the raw beauty of La Plata County and design your dream lifestyle from the ground up. Opportunities like this—40 acres of wild, buildable terrain so close to Durango—don’t come up often. Schedule your appointment today to come walk the land and imagine the possibilities.
