This site
describes 109.44 acres of land for sale in the Colorado mountains about one hour from Durango. Durango Colorado is a wonderful balance of a functional small city with the charm of a mountain valley community. Although the population of Durango is only 13,922 the community offers a broad spectrum of services that range from medical facilities, colleges, museums, galleries, and great restaurants. The town is active and exciting in all four seasons. In the winter you will find the Christmas lights, cozy hotels, and snow-lined streets, romantic beyond words. In the spring enjoy skiing in short-sleeve shirts and shorts. In the summer or fall relive history and take a trip on the Narrow Gauge Railroad to Silverton Colorado. This 109.44 acres of land for sale in the Colorado mountains is the perfect ranch for summer time horse riding, fall hiking, and winter cross-country skiing. The Animas River runs by the edge of the city and extends north toward the Durango Mountain Resort (formerly Purgatory Resort). As you drive into the mountains the edges of the valley are populated by large horse and cattle ranches that look like they came out of a western movie. Obviously, this occurred to the Hollywood location scouts, as the Durango area has been the center for dozens of famous films. One of the most memorable movies was the 1969 film "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". Bakers Bridge, about 13 miles north of Durango was used in the famous jump scene in the movie. Durango excels in outdoor sports including skiing, horseback riding, rafting, biking, hiking, and golf. There are few ski resorts in the world that offer the unique terrain of the Durango Mountain Resort, as you can gently ski the rolling hills for miles on end across the top of the mountain. Perhaps it is the constant access to the blue sky and mountain slopes that keeps this community so healthy, but you will immediately notice that the town feels vibrant and alive. This vibrancy has attracted a new younger community and with them a relaxed openness and sense that the town really appreciates your business. Durango is also the central point of a ring of ancient Anasazi (tribe of Native Americans believed to be the ancestors of the present Pueblo tribes) ruins that could provide a lifetime of research and study. One of the best know ancient ruins, Mesa Verde, is located 35 miles west of the town. The archeological sites found in Mesa Verde are some of the most notable and best preserved in the United States. Mesa Verde National Park offers visitors a spectacular look into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people. There are few visitors that leave Mesa Verde without a profound change in how they view American History . On the details page of this web site is a complete description and photos of 109 acres of beautiful Colorado Mountain Land Real Estate. For both the southern Colorado and northern New Mexico area this property represents a unique value from the perspective of cost, location, diversity of terrain, and community amenities. From Chromo it is a short one-hour drive to Durango on highway 160. |
