1 Acre of Residential Land for Sale in Durango, Colorado
166 Ponderosa Way, Durango, CO 81301
1-acre wooded lot in the Lake Purgatory Property Association just outside Durango, Colorado, with direct frontage on Ponderosa Way and mature pines and aspens throughout. The surrounding neighborhood is an established community of custom mountain homes, giving you a clear picture of what this lot becomes in the right hands.
Less than 10 minutes from Purgatory Ski Resort and under 40 minutes to downtown Durango, this is a four-season mountain lot in one of southwest Colorado’s most sought-after resort corridors. A well and septic would be needed to build, standard for this area and consistent with every neighboring parcel.
The tree cover provides natural privacy from the road and neighboring properties while keeping that deep-woods mountain feel intact. Whether you are planning a custom ski cabin, a vacation rental, or a long-term mountain retreat, lots with this combination of location, association access, and established neighborhood character in the Purgatory corridor are increasingly hard to find at this price point.
