Land

This 59+/- acre lot, sitting at the perfect location, can go in several different directions. The property is currently zoned Ag/Industrial offering an extremely low tax bill of $24 dollars annually (2025) Two building sites have been identified if building a residential ranch with incredible views and a spring fed pond with a perfect location to town is what you are looking for. I believe this location would also be the perfect commercial/retail location as it sits on the corner of 2 major highways with power and water on the property. If you’re traveling to or from Durango, Telluride, Cortez, Mancos, Dove Creek or Utah. you probably would pass right by this ideally located property.
