This is a rare opportunity to own nearly 4 acres of usable, irrigated land in the heart of the Animas Valley with incredible Hermosa Cliffs views, horse and equestrian potential, a private well, oversized heated garage, and a second manufactured home offering additional income or future-use possibilities. The well-maintained single-level ranch-style home is set back from the road for added privacy and minimal road noise, while huge picture windows showcase the dramatic red cliffs and surrounding valley. Inside, the custom kitchen features beautiful cherry cabinetry, granite slab countertops, double ovens, Travertine flooring, and generous workspace. The adjoining family/great room features hardwood flooring, vaulted ceilings, and expansive windows framing the Hermosa Cliffs and Animas Valley views. A gas line is already installed in the south wall of the great room should the next owner wish to add a gas fireplace. Comfort and efficiency are enhanced by five-zone in-floor radiant heat throughout the home, along with a fan system designed to help circulate heat. The oversized garage is equally impressive with its own in-floor radiant heat, half bath, pull-down ladder to attic storage, and plenty of room for trucks, recreational toys, equipment, storage, or workshop space. Outside is where this Animas Valley property really separates itself. The acreage is largely usable and includes irrigation, creating excellent potential for horses, pasture, gardening, hobby farming, or simply enjoying additional elbow room. More than 800 feet of picket fencing extends along the west side of the property, and the acreage has historically accommodated two horses. A private well provides another valuable water source. An existing manufactured home adds even more flexibility and has previously generated approximately $1,500 per month in rental income. Keep it as an income-producing rental or explore removing it and utilizing the existing utility infrastructure for a future structure, subject to La Plata County approval. The location combines peaceful Colorado country living with convenient access to Animas Valley Elementary, Dalton Ranch Golf Club, Durango Hot Springs, PJ's Gourmet Market, James Ranch, Hermosa Creek Grill, Hermosa Creek recreation, downtown Durango, Purgatory Resort, and the surrounding San Juan Mountains. For buyers searching for a Durango horse property, Animas Valley acreage, hobby farm, or investment property with rental potential, this is a rare opportunity to combine usable irrigated land, mountain views, privacy, and versatility in one of Southwest Colorado's most desirable settings. This property offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find this close to Durango. Some listing photos may include virtually staged furniture, fixtures, or amenities.
