This property, even though it is only 2 miles from Durango, is in a beautiful river valley and is filled with tall Ponderosa Pines, enormous oaks and lots of seclusion. Great views of the La Plata Mountains from this property. At 6500 feet in elevation you have the perfect combination of warm winter days and cool summer nights for your vacation in Durango. You are only a 25 minute drive to the Durango Mountain Ski Resort.. . .

The views of the North Animas Valley and surrounding mountains are incredible! This private chalet is only 5 minutes from the Durango city limits. The county road is very quiet and great for jogging, walking, road and mountain biking. Your backyard is directly below the incredible Animas rock climbing area, great for technical rock climbing or easy hiking. It's fun to watch the rock climbers as they appear very small like ants on the sheer cliff face. To the West across the Animas River is the beautiful Animas Mountain. The city of Durango can be partially seen off in the distance and the San Juan mountains are to the North.

The property is very private as there are huge horse ranches in the valley and acres of public land East of the property. Majestic Ponderosa Pine trees surrounding the house and abundant wildlife viewing will add to your enjoyment. There are many attractions for a visitor to enjoy such as Mesa Verde National Park only 30 minutes away and Skiing only 20 minutes away. Trimble hot springs is only 9 minutes away where you can soak your body after a hard day of skiing or hiking. This spectacular property overlooks the Animas River Valley. Enjoy this private Durango Mountain Chalet!
