Protected Animas Valley View Estate Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Animas Valley and Redstone Cliffs, this 3.1-acre Durango property offers something increasingly rare: wide-open views, protected scenery, and close proximity to town. Bordering the James Ranch Conservation Easement, the setting creates a sense of privacy, space, and long-term view protection that is difficult to duplicate in the Durango market. The home features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, plus a non-conforming third bedroom, with approximately 2,918 square feet of comfortable living space. A brand-new $75,000 standing seam metal roof system has been installed on the home, garage, and outbuildings, adding meaningful long-term value and peace of mind. The property is beautifully maintained and offers an exceptional opportunity for a buyer who values location, views, acreage, and the ability to personalize a well-sited Animas Valley home. Just minutes north of downtown Durango, this is an ideal full-time residence, mountain retreat, or second-home basecamp for buyers seeking Colorado lifestyle without sacrificing convenience.
