Animas Riverfront Legacy Property

Positioned along the scenic Animas River corridor just north of Durango, this 82.9± acre property offers a rare combination of river frontage, agricultural utility, privacy, infrastructure, and long-term legacy potential.

The land features approximately 3/4 mile of Animas River frontage with beach access areas, mature trees, open meadows, and exceptional mountain and valley views throughout the property. At the center of the ranch is a remarkably private 10-acre pond complete with an island bridge and surrounding tree cover, creating a setting rarely found in Southwest Colorado.

A 2-acre elevated building pad has already been established with 400-amp electrical service brought directly to the site along with an installed septic system, providing a significant head start for a future custom residence, ranch compound, or retreat-oriented vision. The homesite captures sweeping 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains, valley, river corridor, and pond.

The property also includes:

53 Class A shares of the Animas Consolidated Ditch
Approximately 1,200 feet of piped and lined irrigation ditch
Agricultural land suitable for hay production and grazing
Roads roughed in throughout portions of the property
A 1,300± square foot geodesic greenhouse with both solar and grid power

The combination of water resources, existing infrastructure, agricultural capability, and recreational beauty creates a highly versatile offering suitable for:

A private riverfront estate
Conservation-oriented ownership
Agricultural or equestrian use
Limited retreat or experiential use
Recreational ranch ownership
Multi-generational legacy planning

Located within convenient proximity to downtown Durango, skiing, hiking, fly fishing, and regional airports, the property balances privacy and accessibility in one of Colorado’s most desirable mountain markets.
