About This Property

Set on 4.6 picturesque, irrigated acres in the heart of the Animas Valley, 9795 County Road 250 is a truly special Southwest Colorado property defined by its natural beauty, privacy, water, location and breathtaking valley views. Three tranquil ponds, irrigated lawns, mature trees, colorful perennial gardens, and established landscaping create a peaceful, park-like setting that feels private and secluded. The property is conveniently located along the highly desirable County Road 250 corridor between Durango and Purgatory Resort and is not in an HOA. The acreage is irrigated with water delivered from Coon Creek through the historic Reid Ditch, with the property's own head gate.

Expansive open areas, lush grounds, and established improvements offer tremendous versatility and provide an increasingly rare opportunity to own a coveted piece of the Animas Valley. Adding to the property's character is an impressive collection of outbuildings and improvements to include a detached two-car garage, workshop space, and additional storage. A rustic cabin, livery, stable, and barn further enhance the property's historic character and flexibility. At the heart of the property is a one of a kind handcrafted Colorado log home built in 1978 by renowned local craftsman Larry Barnes.

Encompassing approximately 3,120 square feet across three levels, the residence showcases exceptional handcrafted log construction and timeless mountain character. Generous covered decks extend the living space outdoors and provide wonderful vantage points for enjoying the ponds, lawns, gardens, and changing seasons of the Animas Valley. The home has historically lived as a three-bedroom. In addition to the conforming bedroom on the second level, an open loft has traditionally served as a bedroom, while another room on the lower level has also been used as a bedroom but is considered non-conforming.

This unique layout provides flexibility for guests, office space, hobbies, or additional sleeping accommodations. The existing septic system is rated for one bedroom and will require an upgrade to accommodate additional bedroom use. There is currently no bedroom on the main living level. Combining 4.6 irrigated acres, ponds, mature landscaping, historic outbuildings, a handcrafted log residence, and sweeping valley views, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of the Animas Valley.

Rich in character, history, natural beauty, and timeless Colorado appeal, 9795 County Road 250 is the kind of property that is increasingly in demand. Some rooms shown in the listing photographs have been virtually staged.
