Property Description

Animas River Ranch | Durango, Colorado Riverfront Opportunity Just Minutes from Downtown Durango. Discover 33.3 acres of rare riverfront land just two miles from downtown Durango—offering the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and versatility. With Animas River frontage on both sides, three tranquil ponds, and panoramic views of the iconic red cliffs, this property is a true Colorado gem. Positioned outside city limits yet close to town, it's ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat without sacrificing access to amenities. Whether you're envisioning a private residence, hobby farm, recreational getaway, or investment property, the zoning under county jurisdiction allows for a wide range of land use options. Buyer has received county approval to qualify for an agricultural exemption in 2026, which will significantly reduce property taxes. Recreation & River Access The Animas River is renowned for world-class fly fishing, and this property's private access makes it a dream for anglers. Wide, navigable stretches also invite kayaking, paddle boarding, and other water-based adventures—right from your backyard. Shop + Apartment + Storage A 38' × 68' insulated shop with two oversized roll-up doors offers ample space for equipment, vehicles, or workshop use. Inside, a 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment features wood-paneled ceilings, a wood-burning stove, full kitchen, and updated bath finishes—perfect for guest quarters, caretaker housing, or transitional living. A 40' storage container next to the shop is included Land, Wildlife & Water Rights The acreage is planted in triticale and orchard grass, supported by five shares of water rights from the Animas Consolidated Ditch Company. Wildlife is abundant—elk and deer are frequent visitors. A designated build site near the river overlooks one of the ponds and is ideally situated for a custom home. Utilities & Zoning Flexibility The property qualifies for a well permit or city water tap extension, offering flexibility for future development. With county zoning, it supports uses ranging from agricultural and residential to recreational and mixed-use. This is a rare opportunity to own riverfront acreage with infrastructure, water rights, and unmatched natural beauty—all just minutes from downtown Durango.
