About This Lot
In the heart of the Animas Valley lies 82.9 acres riverfront—untouched, timeless, and alive with possibility. The land follows nearly three-quarters of a mile of the Animas River, where cottonwoods lean over the water and a quiet beach meets the current. A private ten-acre pond shimmers at the center, an island bridge crossing to a hidden grove. A 1.75 acre raised building pad crowns the landscape, offering commanding 360-degree views of mountains, red cliffs and meadows. Power at the building pad is 400 amps, suitable for multiple structures. Septic at the building pad is designed for 3 bedrooms, and is expandable. The pastures stretch wide with strong irrigation rights, and a precisely lined 1,200-foot system to move water efficiently through the fields. At the edge of the property, you will find a solar-powered geodesic greenhouse; an amazing home to fruit trees, vegetable gardens, herbs and more. This is one of the Valley’s last large riverfront holdings. Don’t miss your opportunity to own a private refuge along one of Colorado’s most iconic river corridors. *Property can be purchased together with River Bend Ranch. See MLS 829362 for details on the Wedding Venue/Events Center, and 2 homes on an additional 22 acres with riverfront.**Call for showings and information. **Please do not go to the property without an appointment.
