The crisp and sunny winter days often feature abundant, light powdery snow.

Durango has numerous big city conveniences, including a state-of-the-art new hospital � Mercy Regional Medical Center, world-class restaurants, hotels, shopping, a four-year college, and many cultural activities. The entire Four Corners area provides endless activities for the outdoor sports enthusiast. The area�s population is 45,000. La Plata County Airport runs daily commercial air service to Denver, Albuquerque and Phoenix, with seasonal service to Houston and Dallas, and includes facilities for full service general aviation. The property is approximately 50 miles from Durango Mountain Resort, 220 miles from Grand Junction, 210 miles from Albuquerque and Santa Fe, about 300 miles from Denver and Colorado Springs and 430 miles from Phoenix. 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. The owners have plans for an immaculate custom log home, private equestrian barn and guest cottage that were designed by a renowned Durango architect and are available for an additional fee if one desires. MAGGIE ROCK RANCH OWNER LIFESTYLE: Maggie Rock Ranch offers easy building opportunities for owners purchasing 35+ acre parcels with underground power and phone to each tract, as well as nicely maintained all-weather roads. These parcels have been carefully planned to optimize the view shed and honor the natural topographical features. Each parcel is unique and inspires a feeling of great privacy, while enjoying the security of a ranch community of like-minded people. Centrally located in the greater ranch are common facilities that all owner�s enjoy including a massive freshwater pond, horse boarding facilities, miles of equestrian bridle trails and an owner�s clubhouse complete with shower, custom kitchen and expansive decks for relaxing in the afternoons and early evenings. Due to the variety of topography and natural beauty of the property, some parcels have distant views with building sites nestled in dense groves of Ponderosa Pines, while others have woodlands that give way to open meadows. Each is beautiful in its own way and provides choices of home sites along with a complete sense of privacy & seclusion, yet excellent proximity to historic Durango. The covenants are sensible and ensure your investment is protected. WILDLIFE AND RECREATION: Maggie Rock Ranch has an ideal combination of wildlife habitat and privacy. Commonly seen are migrating elk, deer, black bear, coyote, red tail hawks, eagles, wild turkey and other sporting birds. Equine enthusiasts will find the trail riding on the ranch wonderful with breathtaking views, privacy and interesting terrain. In addition, the opportunities for exploration and recreation are limitless�whether it�s hiking, kayaking, skiing, bird watching, rock climbing, hunting, fishing or just relaxing�this property, along with the nearby national forest and recreational areas surrounding Durango, has it all. Summertime is also filled with opportunities to boat on many area lakes and excellent golfing can be found in Durango at Dalton Ranch Golf Club, Hillcrest Community Club, and the private Glacier Club (memberships available). In addition, people come from around the world to ride the local Durango to Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and visit attractions like Mesa Verde National Park and the Four Corners National Monument.
