Recreational Land for Sale in Durango, Colorado

Justin D Osborn, The Wells Group of Durango, LLC, O: 970-946-3935, justin@wellsgroupdurango.com, http://southwestcoloradoranchbrokers.com/: 352 acres bordering National Forest only 20 minutes from downtown Durango. Elevation ranges from 7800' - 8800'. Located only 4 miles from Lemon Reservoir and 8 miles from Vallecito Reservoir. There are good 2-track roads that make the property easily accessible with standard highway vehicles. Diverse topography includes thick ponderosa pine forest near the bottom of the ranch (which is always covered up with turkey), and then spruce and aspen forest near the upper elevations where you'll frequently find the deer and elk. Three different drainages provide seasonal streams with both water & cover for the wildlife. This is Colorado GMU # 751 where bull elk tags can be purchased over the counter and buck tags can be acquired through the annual state draw system. In addition to the normal public hunting tags available, this property also qualifies for additional private land owner tags. This ranch is not encumbered in any way. With subdivisions on 2 sides of the ranch, there is a huge potential for tax credits if the buyer had the desire to put the ranch into a conservation easement. Contact agent regarding access. Owners have historically used the 2-track road from CR 240 through the NF to access the ranch, but the ranch does not have deeded access or a written easement at this time.
