About This Property

Light-filled and inviting, this turnkey ranchette / hobby farm is centrally located in La Plata County on 45 acres, offering sweeping views of the La Plata Mountains and a rare combination of usable land, infrastructure, and accessibility. Recently updated with new luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring and fresh interior paint, the home blends comfort, functionality, and move-in ready convenience—ideal for buyers seeking a fully realized rural lifestyle with minimal additional investment. The two-story residence features 2 bedrooms plus a non-conforming third bedroom and 2.5 bathrooms (½, ¾, and full). The kitchen opens to a bright living area and full-width upper deck, perfectly positioned to capture expansive mountain views and sunsets.

The spacious primary suite includes a fully remodeled bath and its own private deck. The walkout lower level offers exceptional flexibility with a large family room, non-conforming bedroom, full bath, laundry area, and generous pantry/storage—well suited for guests, workspace, or multi-use living. The land is thoughtfully configured with approximately 9 irrigated acres, a mix of open pasture, sagebrush, pinyon, and juniper terrain, and full perimeter fencing with partial cross-fencing for livestock management. The Morrison Ditch runs through the property much of the year, supplemented by a spring-fed pond, enhancing both agricultural utility and visual appeal.

The acreage offers a balanced combination of productivity, privacy, and natural beauty, with abundant wildlife including deer, elk, and fox. Improvements and infrastructure are extensive and highly functional. The property includes a heated shop (approximately 28’ x 69’) with concrete floor, 220-volt power, and a separate meter, a large pole-frame hay barn (approximately 36’ x 80’), grain silo, and steel livestock corral with loading chute. A heavy-duty rear-loading ramp accommodates flatbed semi-trailer access, and a gated garden area with raised beds and dedicated storage shed adds further usability.

Additional features include a whole-house generator system, buried propane tanks for a clean aesthetic, and a recently installed boiler system. Utility infrastructure is a standout, with 3-phase rural electrical service and dual meters supporting residential, agricultural, and workshop applications. The setup allows for immediate use across a range of needs, including livestock, hay production, equipment storage, hobby farming, or potential light commercial/ag-related operations. Despite its private and peaceful setting, the property is conveniently located approximately 10 minutes from La Plata County Airport and within easy reach of Durango, Bayfield, and Ignacio, offering a rare balance of accessibility and seclusion.

Fully usable as-is, this property represents a true move-in ready rural lifestyle opportunity—combining acreage, infrastructure, scenic beauty, and long-term versatility in an increasingly competitive land market.
