PROPERTY DETAILS: Rich in natural beauty, parcel 18 of Maggie Rock Ranch encompasses 35.28 fully-fenced acres with pristine fields of lush grassy meadows; a prominent Ponderosa Pine covered building knoll and gently rolling terrain. This beauty is enhanced by being set in the foothills of the 13,000 ft snowcapped La Plata Mountains and amongst historic cattle ranches from the 1880’s in the Cherry Creek Valley. Some of the original barns and outbuildings from the original homestead ranch are seen from the building site on this property. The unobstructed views of the La Plata Mountains are glorious and set ablaze with brilliant reds, oranges and golden yellows in the fall during the height of the fall colors. Sharp contrasting brilliant white snowcaps set against blue azure Colorado skies are breathtaking in the winter months. The topography offers a slight slope from north to south giving the property excellent year-round sun and solar gain potential.
Approximately 25 of the 35+ acres of the property are irrigated and provide excellent pasture for your horses. This parcel is one of only two, with large irrigated pastures. The property is fully fenced with a combination of split rail, high tinsel and three string wire. A private driveway has been installed to the knoll top building site, including electric and telephone. Essentially everything is in place to start building your legacy property.
This 35+ acre parcel provides the perfect mix of foliage for the quintessential Colorado mountain feel including tall pines and rolling meadows. It also offers excellent habitat for a myriad of wildlife species including elk, deer, bear, turkey and other birds of prey. Smaller animals such as fox and coyote can be seen from time to time. In essence, this is the perfect mountain ranch in an exquisite setting for those who want privacy with easy access to the amenities of the Durango community.
