1 Acre of Residential Land for Sale in Durango, Colorado
137 Ponderosa Way, Durango, CO 81301
One acre wooded lot in the Lake Purgatory Property Association just outside Durango, Colorado, less than 10 minutes from Purgatory Ski Resort and under 40 minutes to downtown Durango. The lot is long and rectangular, densely wooded with a mix of mature pines and aspens that put on a spectacular show of color each fall.
The surrounding neighborhood features custom mountain homes tucked into the forest on either side, giving you a clear sense of what this lot can become. A well and septic would be needed to build, which is standard for this area. The tree cover provides natural privacy from the road and neighboring properties, and the setting feels genuinely remote while being minutes from one of Colorado’s most popular ski resorts.
Less than 10 minutes to Purgatory, under 40 minutes to downtown Durango for dining, shopping, and the Animas River Trail, and roughly 1.5 hours to Mesa Verde National Park. This is a legitimate four season mountain lot in one of southwest Colorado’s most desirable resort corridors, and lots in established associations this close to Purgatory do not come available often.
