This 70.24-acre alpine equestrian ranch with guest home and barn is located just 15 minutes West of Durango near the La Plata Canyon corridor and with access to public lands for riding and hiking. There are unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains, including the 13,000 ft. snowcapped La Plata's. Vast open meadows, two flowing streams, manicured lawns, stands of mature oaks and Ponderosa Pine - all create a special setting with hoards of native wildlife and habitat for horses.
The Colorado-style guest home (or Manager's cabin) is the perfect setup for enjoying the ranch now, while you wait to build your main home. There are two bedrooms, a full bath, open kitchen, living area and large covered deck facing the mountains. Exquisite finishes include solid oak wood floors, high level granite countertops, knotty Alder cabinetry, large picture windows and vaulted ceilings.
The custom built 34'X60' Horse Barn has 6 removable stalls, a heated tack/bunk area, watering areas, dual drive-thru roll-up doors and plenty of storage space for hay, equipment or toys. Painted in traditional farm red, the low maintenance metal construction ensures years of hassle free use. Pens turn out to 50'X60' paddock area.
Flowing across the Northern portion of the property from East to West is 2200' of Hay Gulch Creek, which creates a beautiful live water feature and watering site for livestock and wildlife. Along the Western portion of the property meandering from North to South is Cross Creek, with its river rock bottom and small cascading waterfalls. Large pools often develop along the creek banks.
This is a rare opportunity to own a quality equestrian property at a time when inventories of these properties are very low. Offered on 35.11-acres at $699,000 or 70.24-acres at $1.050M. Additional acreages are available including more creek frontage.
