Property Description

An extraordinary opportunity to own 176.8 acres in Trapperâ??s Crossing, one of Durangoâ??s most coveted high-end communities. This rare legacy property combines exceptional privacy, remarkable development potential, and an irreplaceable setting bordering Lake Nighthorse and approximately 7,000 acres of public land. Expansive views of the La Plata Mountains create a dramatic backdrop, while the propertyâ??s size and location offer a sense of seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find this close to Durango. The 176.8 acres offer the potential to be developed into five approximately 35-acre parcels, creating an exceptional opportunity for a private family compound, legacy estate, or thoughtfully planned development. A preliminary plat with 5 lots has been approved by the HOA. Central water (2 paid taps) and electric are available at the property, adding significant value and convenience for future improvements. Alternatively, preserve the acreage as one remarkable estate and enjoy an extraordinary level of privacy surrounded by some of Southwest Coloradoâ??s most beautiful scenery. The propertyâ??s adjacency to Lake Nighthorse and thousands of acres of public land places an incredible variety of outdoor recreation virtually at your doorstep. Lake Nighthorse is one of Durangoâ??s premier recreational destinations, offering boating, fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, and miles of shoreline surrounded by beautiful Southwest Colorado terrain. Beyond the property, Durango is renowned for its year-round outdoor lifestyle, with world-class mountain biking, hiking, skiing, fly fishing, rafting, hunting, horseback riding, and access to millions of acres of National Forest and public lands throughout the region. Despite the property's peaceful and private setting, the amenities of Durango are within convenient 10 minute reach. Downtown Durango offers an exceptional collection of locally owned restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, galleries, boutiques, and entertainment, along with the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Purgatory Resort provides skiing and mountain recreation to the north, while the Animas River, extensive trail systems, golf, Fort Lewis College, regional medical services, and the Durango-La Plata County Airport add to the convenience and quality of life. Few properties offer this combination of substantial acreage, Lake Nighthorse frontage, public-land adjacency, La Plata Mountain views, utilities, development potential, and proximity to Durango.
