An exceptionally rare opportunity to create a legacy property in Southwest Colorado: 35 acres with no covenants or HOA, less than 15 minutes from historic downtown Durango. The peaceful parcel offers sweeping views of Lake Nighthorse and Ridges Basin, tall pines, partially cleared grazing land, a seasonal pond, a fully fenced orchard of heirloom stone fruits, and room to bring your vision to life. A cleared, level building site was carefully selected to maximize the lake views, with utilities adjacent to the site. A 2,139-square-foot Mueller barndominium, built in 2022, provides a convenient place to live and store equipment and recreational gear while you build. It includes a 1,449-square-foot heated garage and 690 square feet of finished living space, with one bedroom and two three-quarter bathrooms. The garage has an extra tall roll up door on the front and a standard 8' door on the back plus dedicated power for a 50amp EV hookup. The laundry room also houses water treatment set up. Inside, the kitchen features custom Thomasville cabinetry, beautiful custom wood beams, local rock veneer, and an extra large farmhouse sink. Stylish Kohler and Moen fixtures, picket tile, calcutta gold marble, and visual comfort lighting complete teh comfortable and cozy yet sophisticated design. The property is ready for your next steps: the existing permitted septic system is sized for five bedrooms, allowing for a four-bedroom home in addition to the existing 1 bedroom barndominium, and the 640-foot-deep well produced 11 gallons per minute when the pump was installed in 2022. The current owners also began dirt work for a barn and arena on the lower portion of the property. Imagine quiet mornings, glowing sunsets, and clear Colorado night skies, all on your own private acreage. Approximately 30 minutes to Durango-La Plata County Airport, 45 minutes to Purgatory Ski Area, and two hours to Telluride.
