Rare opportunity to own a large residential lot in a lovely cul-de-sac backing to abundant fire-mitigated open space in The Overlook at Edgemont Highlands! This perfect location on over 3/4 of an acre provides an open space corridor directly across the street in addition to the 60+ acres of Association-owned open space right outside your back door. This lot also offers expansive views to the south, with a mostly level building site and mature ponderosa pines. The orientation of this property allows for a sunny driveway, where snow can melt faster, as well as opportunities to design a south-facing home with a wall of windows to soak in beautiful views and passive solar energy efficiency. Encompassing over 500 acres, of which almost 200 acres is devoted to open space, the Edgemont Highlands community is located just 5 miles from downtown Durango and features private access to over 1.5 miles of Florida River hiking and blue-ribbon fishing, a beautiful Community Center just a short walk away, and over 10 miles of private hiking and walking trails, including the Pioneer Trail on the far western end, providing bicycle friendly direct access to the National Forest.
