combination of usable acreage, functional improvements, and peaceful Southwest Colorado living.

Mountain Location and Setting

Located near Echo Basin in the scenic San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado, this peaceful 10.42-acre property offers the perfect blend of space, versatility, and mountain tranquility. Just three miles east of the charming town of Mancos and about 27 miles from Durango, it provides rural privacy while maintaining convenient access to local amenities and outdoor recreation. The stunning mountain backdrop and gently rolling pastures create an inviting environment that’s increasingly rare to find in this region.

Spacious Ranch-Style Home

The 2,688 square foot ranch-style home with a full basement is designed for comfortable living with flexibility in mind. On the main level, you’ll find a spacious living room centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace, ideal for relaxing evenings. The dining area and kitchen flow naturally, while the primary suite offers an ensuite bath for privacy and convenience. An additional room on this floor can easily serve as a home office, guest room, or creative space to suit your needs.

Functional Finished Basement

The finished basement expands your living options with a second cozy living room featuring another wood-burning stove, perfect for gathering or quiet moments. Three versatile rooms have served various purposes including bedrooms, an office, and a craft room with ample storage. A dedicated pantry with shelving and cold storage adds to the home’s practicality, alongside a ¾ bathroom that enhances comfort for family or guests.

Outdoor Features and Amenities

Outside, the property truly shines with gently rolling pastures, mature landscaping, and a seasonal pond adding natural charm. A metal building with stalls previously used for sheep reflects hobby farm potential. An irrigation ditch flows through the land, complemented by a .10 c.f.s. runoff water right, enhancing the property’s agricultural possibilities. The attached two-car garage includes a workbench, and an exterior carport provides covered parking for additional vehicles or equipment. A covered wood storage area completes this well-equipped mountain homestead.

Endless Possibilities

Whether you envision a mountain retreat, a hobby farm, or simply a spacious haven to enjoy the outdoors, this unique property offers a rare combination of usable acreage, functional improvements, and peaceful Southwest Colorado living. It’s an exceptional opportunity to embrace the beauty and lifestyle of the San Juan Mountains.

While a new owner may choose to update some amenities over time, the home is comfortable and very livable as-is. Water in SW Colorado is seasonal and often depends upon the amount of snow we receive in the winter.  This will affect the amount of any water available for watering the pasture.  The irrigated acres is only an estimate as it depends upon the run-off water available. The location is truly exceptional — surrounded by mountains and within reach of everything Southwest Colorado is known for, including National Parks, hiking and biking trails, outdoor recreation, and endless opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the region.
