Property Description
A rare opportunity to own 40 acres bordering the San Juan National Forest on two sides. This diverse and scenic property features a Bear Creek flowing seasonally through fertile bottomland with mature cottonwood and willow groves. The landscape offers a mix of flat terrain and gently rolling meadows ideal for gardening, agriculture, or future home construction. Elevated portions of the land provide multiple potential building sites with sweeping views of the surrounding valley, open meadow, and expansive forest. Higher ground is populated with mature pine, fir, and spruce, creating a secluded and peaceful mountain setting. A 450-foot cased artesian well is in place, and electric service is available through La Plata Electric Association at the northwest corner of the lot. Improvements include a large, enclosed pole barn, additional storage sheds and outbuildings, a 500-gallon propane tank, and a 2,200 square foot double-wide home on a temporary foundation (not currently connected to utilities), offering flexibility for future use. This property offers direct access to the San Juan National Forest, known for its extensive public lands and wide range of year-round recreational opportunities. The area is popular for hunting, with direct access to thousands of acres of national forest supporting elk, deer, and other wildlife. The property's location along migration corridors and proximity to open meadows enhances its appeal for those seeking a base for seasonal use or responsible outdoor recreation. Conveniently located near Bayfield, and approximately 40 minutes to Durango, 50 minutes to Pagosa Springs, and about an hour and half from Wolf Creek Ski Resort. Mesa Verde National Park and other iconic regional attractions are also within reach, offering cultural, historical, and natural exploration opportunities. This is a one-of-a-kind parcel with incredible natural features, valuable infrastructure, and unlimited potential. Showings by appointment only.
