    Nice ranch style residence, located on the outskirts of city limits, with lots of useable space, residential use but commercial potential. Think outside the box on this! Would make a great rental income property while going through the City for commercial business, maybe add another residential unit pending planning, or keep the residential and add commercial. Annexed into Durango City limits.
