About This Lot

As of January 2026

Welcome to Secret Valley Ranch, an excellent opportunity to own private, affordable, useable acreage near Durango, with no HOA or covenants!!! This 13+ acre property has end of the road privacy and is partially perched above a shallow valley offering stunning views. Exceptional privacy, beautiful surroundings, lots of wildlife, multiple potential building sites, and some utilities already in place plus gated access and improvements makes this a great value in La Plata County. The ideal building site for a main home provides west-facing views of the La Plata Mountains while the valley floor below offers a perfect spot for additional dwellings such as a guest house, barn, shop, or other structures set apart from the main home. The property is partially fenced, accessible by motorhomes and campers and is already equipped with power to various locations, water well, cistern, and pump house, as well as multiple frost-free hydrants and two RV hookups. BONUS structures include an overbuilt shed with a covered deck, mobile home, greenhouse frame(s) and raised garden beds. The seller has excavated and improved a driveway to multiple potential homesites and done extensive dirt work and fire mitigation. Gated entry ensures privacy and serenity while you enjoy beautiful sunsets and breathtaking mountain views enhanced by a gentle breeze that flows through the valley, rustling trees and adding to the tranquil atmosphere. There is potential to create a fantastic equestrian property or hobby farm alongside a residence, or subdivide to create a great investment opportunity. Seller financing available - call broker for details. Buyer will need to install septic when buyer goes to build.
