Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Durango, Colorado

Jeremiah Aukerman, eXp Realty, LLC, C: 970-769-2407, jeremiah.aukerman@exprealty.com, durangohomesales.com: Extremely rare opportunity to own over 600 acres in one of Durango’s most desirable corridors, offering a combination of scale, privacy, and convenience that is almost impossible to find. Located off CR 240, this property sits just 20 minutes to the Durango-La Plata County Airport, 15 minutes to Mercy Hospital, and 15 minutes to historic downtown Durango, delivering true accessibility without sacrificing the feeling of being a world away. Bordering approximately 1.26 miles of San Juan National Forest, this property opens directly into over 200,000 acres of protected land, creating unmatched access for hiking, horseback riding, hunting, and endless backcountry exploration right out your back door. The landscape is exactly what buyers are searching for in Southwest Colorado, expansive mountain views, rolling terrain, mature pine forest, and multiple prime building sites positioned to capture the beauty of the Florida River Valley. Access throughout the property has already been thoughtfully established with five roughed-in driveways, making it easy to explore and develop. Two deeded access points from paved County Road 240 provide convenience and flexibility, while the paved and gated Taylor Ranch Road offers a more private approach to the upper portions of the property. The possibilities here are significant. Whether you are envisioning a legacy ranch, private family compound, or a thoughtfully designed development, the groundwork has already been laid. One residence can be accessed via Taylor Ranch Road, and up to 11 additional units have previously received County approval through the eastern access, creating a rare blend of personal use and investment potential. For the outdoor enthusiast, this property checks every box. Direct access into GMU 75 provides exceptional hunting opportunities, with elk, mule deer, turkey, black bear, and mountain lion known to frequent the area. The ability to apply for private land tags further enhances the value for those seeking a true Colorado sporting property. A natural spring has been identified on the land, adding to the property's long-term usability and appeal. Electricity is already available on the west side near one of the most compelling building sites, where sweeping views stretch across the Florida River Valley. For those looking to expand or secure additional control of the surrounding area, the adjacent 66.63 acre parcel on Taylor Ranch Road is also available, offering a well, installed electric, and additional premium building sites. Combined, this would create a truly exceptional holding at the top of Taylor Ranch Road with direct National Forest access. Properties of this size, with this level of access, infrastructure, and proximity to Durango’s amenities, rarely come to market. This is a chance to secure a legacy property that offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term upside in one of Colorado’s most sought-after locations.
