717 Zane Dr Durango, CO 81303

Very few opportunities remain to build on 35 contiguous acres within Shenandoah, one of Durango's most established luxury communities. Positioned above the valley floor, this wooded knoll commands unobstructed views of the mountains to the north and west, with long southern exposures that bathe the building site in light from morning through evening. On clear days, the eye travels far beyond the immediate ridgelines — a view you will never lose to future development. The natural building site sits on a forested knoll with mature ponderosa pine and Gambel oak, offering both dramatic views and a sense of seclusion that is difficult to find this close to town. Shenandoah's three miles of paved, curving roads wind through open meadows and horse pastures — a community where architectural standards and pride of ownership are evident in every neighboring property. A key detail that sets this parcel apart: a Lake Durango water tap is paid and installed — a significant infrastructure advantage that removes one of the most common hurdles for raw land buyers in La Plata County. Downtown Durango, the Animas River trail system, and the dining and culture of Main Avenue are approximately 12–15 minutes away. Purgatory Resort, world-class mountain biking, and the San Juan National Forest are all within easy reach. For the buyer who has been searching for the right site — large enough to feel like a true retreat, close enough to live in year-round — 717 Zane Drive deserves a personal visit.
