Description
38 acres with senior water rights, and paved county road access, only 12 miles to Durango. No HOA/No Covenants. Low annual taxes of only $526.44. Located in the fertile South Animas Valley at 6130' elevation, this farm is in the banana belt section of south La Plata County where the owners benefit from an extended growing season. Historic water rights are delivered from the Animas River through the Citizens Animas Ditch, one of the most reliable ditches in Southwest Colorado with irrigation water running even longer than the growing season itself. The farm borders 63,000 acres of tribal land on the west boundary, offering extreme privacy and a sanctuary for the local wildlife. Elk, deer, and turkey are seen on the property year round. Improvements consist of a 3 bedroom manufactured home, old dairy barn, miscellaneous sheds/outbuildings, riding arena, and shooting range. The land is fenced and cross fenced for livestock. Last 3 photos are where the irrigation ditch branches off from the Animas River. Owners are in their late 70's and early 80's and prefer to sell with a life estate in place.
