About this property

A very unique and iconic piece of Colorado property situated along the coveted and private Florida River with pristine fly-fishing waters and old growth mature trees. Really and truly, this 4.7 acre property in Durango, Colorado is one-of-a-kind, has a special story as a part of the growth of the region and has been carefully prepared for it's next chapter by the current owners. Reportedly, in 1890, a couple purchased the land from a local cowboy for $1,000. Over the decades the property would pass through time and generations. In the 1960s, the owner "Helen" opened a small store on property to serve the crews building the Lemon Dam. Then, in 2016, a rustic yet contemporary two-story log building was designed by local architect, Rick Feeney, and built on the property. This beautiful building can be converted into a residence, added onto, and/or can be a complimentary residence to a new future custom home along the river. The newer well and septic system were designed to accommodate future additions. Imagine a custom residence built along the Florida River with approx. 1,300 feet of river access on a spacious 4.7 acre property. Irrigation rights include Waring Irrigation Pump 0.2 cfs from priority rights in the Florida River. The location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts with proximity to the San Juan National Forest, Lemon Reservoir, hiking, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, camping and all the beauty the Florida River Valley has to offer.
