One of the most unique features of the Rockin N River Ranch is the location, location, location, being just literally 10 min from the town of Durango with easy year round access,no driving 2/4 hours to your favorite hunting and fishing spot. This 80 +/- acre ranch consists of both sides of CR 213. One side is ready to build your dream home or fishing and hunting lodge all over looking the amazing Gold Medal Aminas River. Two building pads and driveways are already in with views that go forever. Seven meticulously engineered and permitted ponds that range from 8 to 20 feet deep and lined with big beautiful Cottonwood trees and all their spectacular fall colors. The ranch also features 4000+ ft of the Gold Medal Animas River that has been fully restored by the Army Corps of Engineers and they have created the best fishing habitat possible with big boulders and deep holes where the huge trout sit and wait for a fly to come floating by. Rainbows, Browns and German trout reaching up to a staggering 26 inches are documented! Life time memories for you and your family, friends that they will never forget catching fish like that. Now, for the water foul hunter the 7 large ponds (all permitted and thats a big deal now) and the river attracts thousands of Ducks and Geese every year and to have that kind of hunting just 10 min from town is simply unheard of. Also for the Elk and Deer hunters the ranch backs to Ute land where those animals come down the draw to get a drink and with Colorado offering OTC Elk tags that are available for 2nd and 3rd rifle (always check regs.) The Ute Indians are known for their great game management and their land holds Boone and Crockett animals. Imagine you all get up early have a cup of hot coffee and shoot your limit on Ducks and Geese in the morning, then go catch a monster trout in one of your own 7 private ponds or you can fish the restored Gold Medal river and then your end day with an early evening Elk/Deer hunt. I honestly don't know where that can all be done in one day on your own private property just 10 min from town. Truly one of a kind sports man paradise!! It's been said that water is the new gold and I will 100% agree. This ranch holds very rare water rights of 3 CFS for all your irrigation, piscatorial or recreation needs, also an even more rare adjudicated water rights directly from the Animas River. We just don't see that from the Animas River any more. As time passes the water rights have a huge value now and we believe even more value in the future. At the end of the day the hard work has been done and the ranch is now ready to create your own sports man paradise, build your dream home, with the ideal location from town. A few other ideas is the ranch can be used for weddings (which they have done and are in demand) family gatherings, or having the best kids birthdays with everyone catching fish. VRBO's, RV camping on the river, build a custom beautiful fishing and water foul hunting lodge, or white water rafting where you take clients up river and float fish down to the property then serve lunch on the river and fish the ponds for an unforgettable day for everyone, these are just some of the other ideas, but you can pick your own direction or simply keep it all to yourself for a unmatched family legacy. Lastly the owner has allowed me to hunt and fish the property since I listed it and we have ALWAYS caught fish ALWAYS and we shoot our limit on ducks every single hunt this year! Just an incredible experience every time...Also all surface mineral rights and all the water rights will transfer to the new owner.
