Property Description

Located in the north end of the Animas Valley, this custom-built home sits on 0.92 irrigated acres offering a rare combination of usable land, water rights, and privacy just under 15 minutes from downtown Durango. Built in 2011 as a contractor’s personal residence, the single-level home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, approximately 2,025.9 square feet, and a flexible bonus room ideal for a home office, studio, or additional living space. Quality finishes throughout include pecan hardwood flooring, travertine tile, granite countertops, crown molding, and thoughtful custom details that reflect the care taken in its original construction. The property is well suited for those seeking a true Animas Valley lifestyle. The land includes a fenced lawn, mature fruit-bearing trees, raised garden beds, and a private pond that attracts ducks and other waterfowl. Irrigation is supported by a full share of water from the Animas Consolidated Ditch, one of the primary irrigation systems serving the valley, allowing the orchard, landscaping, and gardens to thrive. Additional improvements include a shop building and ample space for equipment, hobbies, or storage. The setting offers pond and valley views with privacy enhanced by a neighboring orchard and surrounding single-family homes. Wildlife is commonly seen in the area, including deer, elk, and occasional fox. The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad passes through the valley nearby, adding to the character of this historic area. With irrigation water, mature landscaping, a custom home, and usable acreage, properties offering this combination of features in the Animas Valley are increasingly difficult to find.
