Rare In-Town Gem – Two Homes, Two Lots, Endless Possibilities! Step into a truly unique opportunity in the heart of Durango – two beautifully crafted homes on two full (combined) city lots, just minutes from downtown, the Animas River, and the Rec Center. This exceptional property offers the best of both worlds: the convenience of in-town living with the serenity and space of the countryside. Set amidst established landscaping, vibrant garden beds, and mature apple trees—including one over a century old—this rare find even features a natural spring and valuable water rights to keep your gardens thriving and your lawn lush. Frequent visits from local wildlife only add to the charm of this private in-town retreat. Perfect for multi-generational living, live/work set up, income-producing rentals, or a live-in-one, rent-the-other scenario, the options here are as flexible as they are valuable. Main Residence (Built in 1888): Rich with history and character, the main home offers: 3 bedrooms + office. Inviting living room with a cozy Jøtul fireplace as well as a Jøtul gas stove in the kitchen. Spacious dining/flex space and 4 skylights for natural warmth. Mudroom/laundry area with ample storage. Back deck ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Original 1888 wood architectural details that tell a story of the past. Guest House (Built in 2013): Modern, bright, and energy-efficient, the guest home features: Open-concept layout flooded with natural light. Top-tier kitchen appliances for effortless living. Solar power system for low utility costs. Lower-level living area and bath for extra privacy or a live/work set up. Seamless indoor-outdoor living. The Land – A True Showstopper: Whether you're enjoying the peaceful views, harvesting from the established apple trees, tending your garden, or simply unwinding at the end of a day enjoying Durango, the land itself is a rare treasure in-town Durango. Historical photos confirm this property’s deep roots in the area's legacy. Properties like this rarely hit the market – two homes, two (combined) lots, and endless opportunities all within a short distance of downtown. Don't miss your chance to own a one-of-a-kind piece of Durango's past, present, and future.
