Located on the banks of the Animas River with it's own private beach, BarKR Ranch is 34 acres in the fertile Animas Valley with a huge peninsula full of wildlife. The ranch has never been hunted and is a sanctuary for all kinds of waterfowl, mule deer, and seasonally elk. With 1/2mile of smooth water river frontage you can take your paddle board or kayak on an easy float right into downtown Durango. Improvements consist of a 929 sq ft 2 bedroom ranch managers house that was remodeled in 2023, a 710 sq ft 1 bedroom guest quarters cabin, and a horse barn. Historic water rights out of the Animas Valley Ditch Company provide ample water for irrigating the 2 fields that are fenced and cross fenced for livestock. Holding costs are extremely low with ag taxes of only $982 a year. Cell phone tower lease generating $1,065 a month through September 30, 2029 (with option to extend) is included in the sale. This part of Durango is zoned for 10 acre parcels, so it's possible the property could be subdivided by going through the county planning process. Need tax credits? Forget the 10 acre parcels and enroll the land in a conservation easement with La Plata Open Space Conservancy. The property is free of covenants and any type of HOA. Short term rentals are allowed in this part of Durango, and there's a huge demand for riverfront vacation rentals like these 2 cabins.
