717 Zane DR, Durango, CO 81303

This 35-acre property is suited for an equestrian-focused build on a forested knoll. The natural homesite sits among mature ponderosa pine and Gambel oak, with views described as unobstructed to the north and west. The southern exposure supports daylight from morning through evening, and the parcel’s terrain provides a secluded feel while leaving room to plan for a barn, riding arena, and pasture around the primary homesite.

The setting is in Shenandoah, described as one of Durango’s established luxury communities and a premier area for horse property. The property is positioned above the valley floor, with long sightlines beyond nearby ridgelines on clear days. Within the community, there are three miles of paved, curving roads that wind through open meadows and horse pastures, and neighboring properties commonly feature fenced pastures and stables. Downtown Durango and the Animas River trail system are approximately 12 to 15 minutes away, while Purgatory Resort, mountain biking, and the San Juan National Forest are also within easy reach.

A key site advantage is that a Lake Durango water tap is paid and installed, helping remove a common hurdle for buyers working through raw land infrastructure for livestock needs. For buyers seeking acreage close enough to live year round, with space for traditional ranch-style improvements and room to maintain privacy, this parcel is built around the practical essentials for an equestrian homesite.
