[Durango ranch land is a pristine 36 acres bounded by the beautiful white-water Florida River, and a 500-foot vermilion cliff. It is a quiet remote location where you can get away from it all and still be close to town. Durango Ranch is between a virgin forest where 100-foot Spruce trees, Aspens and wild flower meadows provide a playground for the property's herd of mule deer and other wildlife. It is located on Hwy 240 between the Lemon Reservoir and the city limits of Durango, just 10 miles away. Hike, rock climb, fly fish, horseback ride or simply enjoy the great views on your own flood controlled riverfront property in the midst of the San Juan Mountain Wilderness. Purgatory (Durango Ski Resort) is minutes away on the "Million Dollar Highway" (550). Or take day trips to Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, or the hot springs at Pagosa Springs.
