A rare opportunity to own 39 +/- acres on the Animas River just minutes from Durango. Located south of Durango (just over a mile from the River Road, Highway 160/550 intersection) this 4932 sf home offers plenty of options for a new owner. The property has .15 CFS of deeded water rights with an existing pumping station in place. This provides the new owner with plenty of landscaping options for this terrific blank canvas. The property already has a large and deep pond adequate for stocking fish, also ideal for recreation including swimming and cooling off in the summer. The two story main home also has a partial basement. It is oriented towards the north offering terrific views of the La Platas. Located below a natural bench, the home is very private - you feel like you are miles from town yet you are virtually minutes from town. Located on the banks of the Animas River with ownership to the center of the river for close to 2,000 feet of private river access, you can enjoy excellent fishing, rafting, kayaking and of course enjoyment of the sight and sounds of the river year-round. There is a large 48 foot by 24 foot detached garage complete with a 576 square foot office above the garage. This partially finished office has a ¾ bath currently but the office could be converted to a living unit very easily. The property has many options including being a primary home, second home or vacation rental (with the proper approvals from the county). Another option is this property could be subdivided into additional single family lots. Being a rare riverfront property close to town this property is in an ideal location with endless options.
