About This Home

As of October 2024

2390 sq ft 4 bedroom mountain cabin on 1/2 acre with community picnic/river access. Open floorplan with 2 bedrooms on each floor. There are gorgeous views up the Florida River Valley from the large deck. In addition to forced air propane heat, there is a wood stove in the living room, close enough to the stairs so that is sends sufficient heat upstairs. Located at 7700' elevation near Lemon Reservoir and the San Juan National Forest. HOA fee of $150 a month includes water (not metered), sewer, trash and road maintenance. Annual taxes of 1,613.88. Seller is out of state and has not been to the property in 12 years, so there will not be a Seller's Property Disclosure. Prior to scheduling a showing, please note there are a few sets of stairs that go down to the property for access. Stairway is metal and designed for the snow to fall through the stairs. 3D Floorplan and Interactive Map can be found in the virtual tour links.

    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.
