Under 5 minutes to Durango Hot Springs! 20-25 minutes to Purgatory Ski area. On the west side of the ditch, place your home on a flat area near a magnificent Oak and large rock outcroppings with extreme Red Cliff views. The lower area offers easy road access with a flat building area. Located on the west side, you'll enjoy morning sunshine on this 2 acre lot. Views include Missionary Ridge's red cliffs as well as 180 degrees north to south. The lot backs up to Forest Service & National Forest land for privacy. The Animas Consolidated Ditch runs through the property and could offer seasonal irrigation (needing to be purchased by new owner). The lot has no HOA or covenants and access to all the central utilities: water - Animas Water Company, sewer - Hermosa Sanitation, gas - ATMOS Energy, electric - La Plata Electric Association, and zoning would allow for a home and accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The Seller had renderings made for building a home on the lot, and those renderings are available upon request. A market, gas station, restaurants, and hardware store are within minutes while Durango is less than five miles away. This is the perfect lot to build your Southwest Colorado basecamp on!
