Bordering the protected City of Durango Horse Gulch Trail system to the west, you are guaranteed access to open space, unmatched privacy, and front-row sunset views. You can easily bike or walk straight into town, yet the setting feels pristine, quiet, and deeply historic, featuring a large unexcavated kiva.
