About this House
A rare opportunity awaits on this spectacular riverfront property in the coveted River Valley Estates subdivision of La Plata County. Originally part of the historic Lemon Ranch, this expansive 35+ acre lot is among the largest in the community — stretching across the Florida River and rising to a hilltop with sweeping views of the river valley below. Two distinct building envelopes offer exceptional flexibility for your dream home. The lower envelope sits along the Florida River, offering a serene, waterfront setting, while the upper envelope is nestled among piñon and juniper trees with breathtaking La Plata Mountain views. The current owners have invested in professional arborist care for years, ensuring the trees remain as healthy and beautiful as the land itself. River Valley Estates is a private, gated equestrian community spanning ±500 acres, with over 200 acres of open space and dedicated riding trails. The subdivision features a central water system, underground electrical, and fire hydrants throughout — providing both convenience and peace of mind. This lot also includes an existing well near the lower building envelope, a valuable head start for future development. Despite its quiet, secluded setting, the location offers easy access to downtown Durango, Mercy Medical Center, and La Plata County Airport. World-class outdoor recreation — hiking, biking, fishing, and skiing — right at your doorstep, along with a vibrant selection of dining, shopping, and entertainment. Whether you’re a longtime Durango local or discovering this remarkable region for the first time, this property puts you at the heart of everything the area has to offer.
