This riverfront property is an absolute SPORTS MAN' PARADISE, unique features of the Rockin N River Ranch is the location, location, and location, being literally 10 min from the town of Durango with easy year round access. This 80 +/- acre ranch consists of both sides of CR 213, and both side are very useable land so if your a (developer, contractor or entrepreneur, ) you may build your homes high on the mountain with the roads already in and then have views that go forever all over looking the river and ponds or build by the river, the ranch could be also be sud divided, (zoned residential and AG with several building envelope). Two building pads and driveways are already in on top of the mountain with several other building sites, 4 permitted entrances. One idea is this property would be perfect for a tiny home community all water front homes. Seven meticulously engineered and permitted ponds that range from 20 to 8 feet deep and are lined with gravel and built correctly (surface mineral rights and all the water rights will also transfer) the ranch is lined with big beautiful Cottonwood trees and all their fall colors. The ranch also features half a mile +/- of the Gold Medal Animas River that has been FULLY restored by the Army Corps of Engineers and they created the best fishing habitat possible, Rainbow's, Brown's and German trout reaching up to a staggering 26-30 inches are documented! Water foul hunter's the 7 large ponds and the river attracts hundreds of Ducks and Geese every year, then you have a short drive into town at one of Durango's 135 +/- restaurants, no driving 2/4 hours each way to your favorite hunting, fishing spot. Elk and Deer hunters the ranch backs to Ute land where those animals come down the draw to get a drink and with Colorado offering OTC Elk tags that are available for 2nd and 3rd rifle (always check regs.) The Ute Indians are known for their great game management. NO drought here. It's been said that water is the new gold everywhere and I will 100% agree. This ranch holds water rights of 3 CFS for all your irrigation, piscatorial or recreation needs, also the ranch has adjudicated water rights directly from the Animas River. The water rights create an incredible value and there is a huge demand for water rights and we believe the water will have even more value in the future. At the end of the day the hard work has been done and more importantly it was built and engineered and permitted perfectly for the sports man in mind and the ranch is now ready to create your own wildlife sanctuary and dream fishing hole. This type of property with it's prime location and power, water and mineral rights would be extremely hard to replace. The owner has allowed me to hunt and fish the property, and we ALWAYS catch fish, and shot our limit on Ducks, every time last season!! (Owner financing is available up to 50% @ 5% for 5 years) cant beat it. There is a BIG beautiful gazebo perched right on the river and a huge built in BBQ grill, and picnic tables. Great fun!!
