Animas Meanders Reserve (AMR) is the most unique residential Riverfront project in all of Colorado. The Project was carefully designed over several years to offer homeowners a Rocky Mountain rural paradise with an urban address. AMR home owners will enjoy their river front lot and will also share a ~100 acre Recreational / Agricultural area along a private 3/4 mile stretch of the pristine Animas River - within walking distance from all that the historic city of Durango has to offer. The project consists of 4 Estate Animas Valley lots (15 to 36 acres) with beautiful building envelopes spaced at intervals to ensure complete privacy. Each home site enjoys spectacular views. Lots extend to the centerline of the Animas River. Your home will be in a private estate setting but within walking distance of Durangos best Elementary, Middle and High Schools, Durango Recreational Center and Library, and all the rest that Historic Durango has to offer. AMR has a special sense of place rarely found abutting a city. Little has changed at the site since the original dairy farm was established in the 1870s. The Animas River winds along the northern border of the property and the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Train can be viewed across the river as it carries tourists up the valley into the gorgeous San Juan Mountains. On a typical day you can choose to take a stroll or go on horseback along the Animas River, catch a trout for breakfast, check out the nesting birds and elk herd, or head for a short drive up-valley to Dalton Ranch Country Club or a little farther to Durango Mountain Resort during ski season. You may also choose from the abundant activities the City of Durango offers. Many are a short distance from the Reserve - or a short bike ride along the Durango River Trail. Lot 1 is currently offered for sale. A Home Site plan and building envelope design is contained in this presentation along with overall Master Plan for the project. Purchase of Lot 1 includes Building Envelope Grading Plan, and the entire Animas Valley Farms (AVF) USDA Certified Organic operation, that can easily be converted to an equestrian facility if desired. An excellent domestic well is in place on Lot 1, La Plata Electric service is operational, and Durango City Water and Sewer connections are installed to the property boundary. Lots 2-4 will be offered during summer of 2015. Please visit http://www.listingcheckout.com/rdcd/131821 for an important notice about this property.
