Land for Sale in Durango, Colorado

Anand K McManus, Keller Williams Realty Southwest Associates, LLC, C:,,: 35 CONTIGUOUS ACRES IN SHENANDOAH, ONE OF DURANGO'S PREMIER HORSE COMMUNITIES: Very few opportunities remain to build on 35 contiguous acres within Shenandoah, one of Durango's most established luxury communities and premier settings for horse property. Positioned above the valley floor, this wooded knoll commands unobstructed views of the mountains to the north and west, with long southern exposures that bathe the building site in light from morning through evening.THE SITE: The natural building site sits on a forested knoll with mature ponderosa pine and Gambel oak, offering dramatic views and a sense of seclusion that is difficult to find this close to town. With 35 acres to work with, there is ample room for a barn, riding arena, and pasture, while still preserving privacy around the homesite itself.THE COMMUNITY: Shenandoah was built with equestrians in mind, and many neighboring properties already have fenced pastures and stables in place, a reflection of the community's deep roots as a horse friendly enclave. Three miles of paved, curving roads wind through open meadows and horse pastures, where architectural standards and pride of ownership are evident in every neighboring property.WATER & INFRASTRUCTURE: A Lake Durango water tap is paid, currently a $17,000 value, a significant advantage that removes one of the most common hurdles for raw land buyers in La Plata County, particularly those planning for livestock water needs.LOCATION & VALUE: Downtown Durango, the Animas River trail system, and the dining and culture of Main Avenue are approximately 12 to 15 minutes away, with Purgatory Resort, world-class mountain biking, and the San Juan National Forest all within easy reach. At $497,000 for 35 contiguous acres, this is approximately $14,200 per acre, a strong value for contiguous, buildable acreage in an established luxury community. For the buyer who has been searching for the right site, large enough for horses, barns, and true acreage, close enough to live in year round, 717 Zane Drive deserves a personal visit.
