Call to find out more…this one is truly a one of a kind!Improvements Have you ever wanted to  own a true piece of the old west?  Originally  homesteaded in 1883.  “The Florida River Ranch” has a long and rich history. It seems to me that the homesteaders always chose the best locations to settle because they desired good soil, good water, and protection from the elements. For these reasons, I can understand why they selected this special spot.  The ultimate custom log home,  one of the best ever created by master craftsman Aaron Taylor. The home is 3860 +/- sqft  3 stories, 6 bedrooms, 6.5 baths (all with AC) and is a master work of construction situated in a prime area.  The bespoke home is surrounded by aspen trees , and the aromas of nature, and it is situated directly on the beautiful Florida River.  Just off the master suit is a fenced in yard for the family dogs (convenient).  Your friends will be amazed that you have both an indoor custom kitchen and an outdoor custom kitchen, which will provide some of the best entertaining  experiences.

The entire ranch is equipped with a military grade generator that can run on its own subsurface propane tank in the case of a power outage, as well as independently  controlled  flood lights, (power stays on!) The ranch has two enormous custom barns, with the main barn having a custom 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment over it, and is now rented out for $295-$315 per night and is constantly full.  At the far end of the ranch is a brand new custom tiny home with granite counters, septic that you could move anywhere on the ranch you wanted to place it. The ranch also has a separate full work shop that of course is heated as well. Guests that do bring their horses can ride the ranch and the 560 +/- acres while enjoying riding along side the the river. The barn features 4 foaling stalls that are well padded for the protection of your babies, and both barns are heated in the winter and 4 large fans to cool them in the mild summers, also an automatic fly spray system.  There is 14 stalls (18 total) all with their own sand turn outs, rubber floors, heated outdoor water troughs,  full cameras in each stall, all controlled by central 4 software from  your phone, so nice to be able to check on the horses anytime of the day or night.  All the concrete around the barns is heated as well as heated walkways so you and your horses don’t slip and fall, very smart. Plus a heated insulated loafing shed barn. The floors in both barns are rubber. You have a full on demand hot water washing station (indoors), great big laundry room and bath, full tack room plus a barn managers office. These are some of the finest barns I have ever seen, absolutely five star accommodations for your prized horses.  There is a Priefert Panel Walker so you can work the horses anytime you like, again with a push of a button and no expense was spared. The ranch also has a full fenced arena with a nice large viewing  deck for having horse shows, training or cowboy events, live auctions and is large enough for roping, and of course a great round pen with deep sand.  The sportsman in the family can enjoy their very own shooting range out back with several moving targets. This incredible ranch is being sold 100% turn key with all its custom made furniture and also all the ranch equipment, this all will be INCLUDED…..There is 1.5M +/-  dollars in equipment and furniture, all custom will now be  included in the sale….As turn key as you can get..Recreation If horses are your world then “Florida River Ranch” is exactly what you are looking for and is truly one of a kind.  Full horse arena with CowTrac, viewing deck, deep soft sand round pen, Priefert hot walker, 12 pastures, plus a river pasture that the horses love with automatic water troughs and heated  loafing sheds. Endless riding on your horses on the 560 +/-  acres of BLM land that you have direct legal access to. I just don’t even seen that feature at all. If you like live water there is the beautiful Florida River flowing through Ranch. You have great big pond that the kids would have endless fun swimming in and jumping off the waterfall. You even have your own shooting range with multiple moving targets.  A frisbee golf area (kids  love it). All of this is just minutes from town but you would never know it while  on the ranch, you feel miles away from town. This literally is your own  park.Agriculture The ranch will produce 3000 +/- squares bales of great grass hay, with 2/3 cuts per year. All the haying equipment you need will transfer with the sale. Mostly all John Deers, and the owner has done meticulous maintenance on all the equipment and has been logged.Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources F9 water rights, 1.94 CFS.  Also adjudicate water rights out of the Florida River (very rare).  With 50 acre – foot from the Lemon project water. This is ABSOLUTE gold in Colorado today and worth millions.General Operations Weddings could be a HUGE income producer as the ranch is as beautiful as ever and especially if you are all about horses, the river and having a large enough area for hundred plus people. Plenty of room for dancing on the outdoor dance floor, and laughing and just good fun, and creates those lasting memories.Horse breeding, training, boarding, auctions, clinics  anything to do with horses is ready on day one. With the two large beautiful barns you could have up to 22 stalls and offer horse boarding, It is fair to say that would be additional income stream of 250K +/- a year, currently the owner does NOT offer horse boarding, but again it could be another stream of income.The 2 bedroom,  2 bath custom guest apartment over the main barn on VRBO receives  $295-$315  dollars per night and is constantly booked as guest can bring their horses, which is such a big need here in Durango, or it could be use for  long term rental, or Ranch Manager housing.There is a separate entrance on the North ends of the property which would be an ideal a perfect spot for RVs to camp along the river enjoying  the pond and waterfall and would be a great source of addition income.  Another idea is to put luxury tents or tiny homes also along the river or have both. Endless opportunities. This type of ranch is extremely rare simply because of the location, the river, water rights, turn key and what it can offer to the public to bring in a very nice income just for owning this ranch. Other ideas are….Graduation parties.Paint ball, Shooting rangeRetreat center, Recovery, Rehab centerThe ranch has a great ranch manager and he is a  heck of a good horseman, and would consider staying on or consulting.  He knows his horses and livestock, and crops, and can do anything the ranch requires.The ranch is ready on day one to accommodate everyones wishes. Region & Climate Durango Colorado is surrounded by 1.8 million acres of Nation Forest for every possible outdoor activity. There are over 130+/- restaurants from food trucks to absolute fine dinning.  The location of Durango is  great for getting out of the summer heat and generally mild winters. For the skiers Durango has Purgatory  Ski Resort which is just a huge ski mountain with a very convenient location  from town.  Durango has that small town feel but offers all the big retail stores you need.History The ranch was originally homesteaded in 1883. It always seems to me the homesteaders always wanted a good protected location, good water, good soil, good hunting and fishing, so it is easy to see why they choose this special spot.Location The location of the ranch is absolutely perfect, 7 min to hospital and gym, 15 min to downtown Durango, 15 min to the airport, 9 min to Wal-Mart, and only 45 min to Purgatory for world class skiing, location, location, location, just perfect!

175 Acres

Pagosa Springs, Colorado, 81147

Welcome to Moonlit Sage Ranch located inside premiere gated community of Pinon Hills this 1500 +/- acre masterplanned community focused on recreational hunting for the avid outsdoorsman and equestrian enthusiast. This 175 acre ranch was originally held aside as the premier parcel for the original developer of Pinon Hills. They always pick the best to keep...Land This 175 acre ranch was built in a beautiful mountain setting, extremely quiet with spectacular views, river access and includes multiple ponds and backs up directly to thousands of acres of national forest and also Ute Indian land ( the Ute Indians are well know for their incredible game management) this lot was held back for the original developer and the developers  always hold the best lots for themselves.  From the property there is a private entrance to the national forest only available to the owners within Pinon Hills Community, not accessible to the public. The ranch also has newly built 1900  sqft 3 bd/2 bth barndominium, plus corrals and storage shed all with incredible views of the Mountains Peaks of Pagosa Springs, CO.  The ranch has a 28,000 gallon rainwater catchment system with  full filtration an UV filters, (great water), the ranch runs on a solar system with a back up generator and fuel tank for easy fills, and new split level AC!  Pinion Hills is a masterplanned community with one of the best HOA’s I’ve ever seen in my opinion. This HOA currently allows hunting with bow or crossbow and soon rifle may be possibly. When you enter the ranch there is also a 12 acre private common area directly on the San Juan River (both sides) complete with Gazebo for picnics, kids birthdays etc and fantastic fishing for any age to enjoy, every spring the HOA stocks the ponds on the ranch. Through out the ranch there are common areas for horseback riding with a maintained trial that goes around the 1500 +/- acres for riding the horses and then from there you may head directly into the national forest for absolute endless riding and no having to tailer the horses.  So nice to have that feature. The HOA also provide year round road maintenance and snow removal.  Most of the ranches have a cistern or some do have drilled a well for water and the HOA provides you with 1000 gallons a month of FREE water and it’s delivered for those that just want a cistern.  The power is all underground, no power lines blocking your views.  The hunting inside the ranch is nothing short of incredible as the ranch is a favorite spot for the deer and Elk to winter because of the mild climate, and elevation with an unlimited food source and lots of water for the animals and then because the ranch backs to National Forest and the hunting continues but now with rifle if you choose and Colorado offers OTC Elks tags on 2nd and 3rd rifle. This 175 acre property is literally the only piece in the entire community that gets land owner Mule Deer tags and the Deer and Elk are just everywhere. The owner has received 3/4 mule deer tags every year  which he always uses one and sells the others. These tags are ALWAYS in demand.  Also for the hunting on the property there is just the best looking tree stand that is spray foam insulated and very comfortable and it was placed in the perfect position for a perfect bow shot of 55-65 yards directly over looking one of the many ponds. It really is your own private hunting spot as no other owner can qualify for the land owner tags and also why there in such demand. You are the only  one that would qualify for land owner tags.Recreation Hunting, fishing, mountain biking, hiking, or whatever your favorite outdoor activity is ……..

This 81 +/- acres featuring almost one full mile of the Gold Medal Animas River, with 185 plus turn key RV and tent camping spots with views of the river. This upscale campground also has a convenient store, pool (heated), laundry facility, rental homes, clean showers. Land United RV Campground  Park is located in Durango, CO, it has been in business over 40+ years. The town of Durango has a very rich history of the old west, where you still have horse and buggy rides in town,  line dancing, 135 +/- restaurants and bars,  Fort Lewis Collage is in Durango and is a awesome collage, ( makes it easy to find workers) and one of the best ski mountains in Colorado “Purgatory Ski Resort” which offers great skiing for any level of skier and is only 15/20 min from the park and has all kinds of summertime actives as well  including a gravity roller coaster, also very close are great golf courses, hot springs, the town of Silverton, the Million Dollar Hwy, Ouray, this corridor is one of the most heavily traveled highways in Colorado with millions and millions of visitors passing the park !!  One of my favorite things about Durango is the 1.8 million acres of National Forest to enjoy the outdoors, and everything there is to offer in the San Juan Mountains, creating an outdoor enthusiast paradise, hiking, camping, fishing,  mountain biking,  lakes and rivers everywhere and hunting with Colorado offering OTC Elk tags on 2nd and 3 rd rifle.  One of the biggest attractions at this resort is the historical Durango/ Silverton train that runs directly through the top of the property and people come from all over the nation to see and take pictures of the train as it passes through the park as it’s done since 1882 and you feel like you just stepped back in time.  This property is being offered for sale for the first time in over 75 years and is a very rare find in the Animas Valley.  The property has been extremely well cared for and is in fantastic shape and is thriving as a business currently as is.  The park has a main home 4 bedroom and 3 baths where the current owners live on property or could be rented out all year as a VRBO and also the park has another 3 bed ,2 bath great care taker home  (new) that is rented to the care taker and he lives on the property as well,  having a care taker on site allows you to leave the business for a vacation or to see family and you have peace of mind the park is being taken care of while your away. (Big Plus). There is a large  3/4 bay garage that even has a full commercial lift for working on all your toys and 2 fuel tanks on property for easy fill up on the parks large farm equipment and vehicles. Several barns all very large all fenced. The Park also  offers a full laundry services with multiple washers and dryers and were just all repainted to look new, there are  hot and cold water his and hers showers plus outdoor restrooms for the park,  great heated swimming pool that the kids of course love or go swimming in the almost one full mile of river with fantastic sandy beaches and crystal clear water, a full convenience store, wi-fi, several other fenced pastures and an old historical home that was actually taken apart piece by piece and then reassembled back on the  park and is part of the old west history and would make yet another great rental (VRBO) all year. These are all great features of a great business and a great property but my personal favorites and where I can see endless opportunity is in the undeveloped 70 +/-  acres below the park with almost one full mile of river front on the Animas Gold Medal river thats lined with these huge Cottonwood trees which provides big shade and in the fall the colors are just spectacular to see and is a surreal feeling of peace and quite. This also would be where you could build your large custom home on the river with also mountain views, away from the business yet still on the property and have the river in your front yard. Other ideas for (Developers, Contractors, Entrepreneurs) custom built homes, VRBO’s, tiny homes, shooting range, driving range, glamping,  kayaking, canoeing, float fishing and weddings would do AMAZING and could accommodate hundreds of guests and parking easily and there is a huge demand for  beautiful venues in Durango especially on the river (Big Money). This RV Park would be just an absolute gem of a property with crazy potential. In the Animas Valley it holds a large resident herd of Elk and Deer which just makes you smile, they are seen in the Valley almost everyday. For the river, it is a gold medal river which means excellent fishing  up to 26-30 inch  Rainbows, Browns and German Trout. The river also allows for waterfowl hunting in your own back yard, also the river has a couple unique large SANDY beaches which makes for great swimming, or just laying out and having a picnic. This 70 +/-  open acres could go in so many different directions, you could develop it, expand the already thriving RV business, or add in another idea. There is also 3/5 acre piece of land  has been identified for a large pond that could be added for improving the wildlife habitat and waterfowl hunting, having the ability to fill it with 16 shares of Class A water the pond could easily be filled and maintained and would add huge increasing value to the park. The value of the water shares I would guess are worth in the millions (my own opinion) and I believe as time passes the water will just become a bigger asset for the entire RV Park or any ranch for that matter.  Water is absolute Gold now and without the water you simply don’t have much and 16 shares of Class A Shares is a lot of water.  To sum it up you have an open canvas to create your own dreams or just leave it as is and have a profitable turn key business…. As a added bonus the Park is on all city utilities, (power, water, sewer) extremely convenient for building whatever you chose. If your not familiar with building in Colorado this benefit is incredible and very convenient for developing fast. The Park currently is only open from May 1st to Oct 15th,  this resort offers amenities that could easily keep it  open ALL YEAR  LONG and then add  its incredible location ( just as perfect as you can get) and you all of a sudden you have an opportunity that will not come along again. There is just nothing in the valley like it left.  Lastly there is a possibility of owner financing.  (not preferred but can be available) Recreation You name it and I think it could be done.Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources 16 Shares of Class A- Animas consolidated water rights !! Great water !!

Rainbow’s, Brown’s 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.  Water foul hunter’s the 7 large ponds 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, then you have a short drive into town for some lunch at one of Durango’s 135 +/- restaurants, no driving 2/4 hours each way to your favorite hunting, fishing  spot.   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  get up early, have a cup of  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 your own fully restored Gold Medal River. That can all be done in one day with out leaving your own private property all just 10 min from town. Truly one of a kind!! 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  even more rare is the property has adjudicated water rights directly from the Animas River. We just don’t see that anymore from the Animas. The water rights  create an incredible value and there is a huge demand for  water rights and we believe the water will have even more value in the future (there’s so much water and so important).  At the end of the day the hard work has been done and more importantly it was built and engineered and permitted perfectly for the sports man in mind and the ranch is now ready to create your own wildlife sanctuary, build your dream home with big views of the La Plata mountains, the river and the 7 ponds or build your own Gold Medal hunting/fishing  lodge, (we don’t have anything like that in here in Durango, especially with this kind of location). You could  also build a RV camp ground  or create a resorts with tiny homes along the river and next to the ponds with great fishing.  (again all the gravel you would need is already on the property) This type of property with it’s prime location and power is in.  A few other ideas is the  ranch can be used for weddings (which they have done) family gatherings and BBQ’s, or having the best kids birthdays with everyone catching fish. VRBO’s is another idea, all on the river,  you can choose your own direction or simply keep it all to yourself for a unmatched family legacy with great memories and your own private sports man paradise. The owner has allowed me to hunt and fish the property since I listed it, and we ALWAYS catch fish,  ALWAYS, and shot our limit on Ducks, every single time last season!! SO MUCH FUN when that happens…Lastly just one of the owners original idea was to have clients park at the ranch then take them miles up river and then  float fish down the gold medal river  to the property, remember the river has been fully restore once you get to the property (so be ready) and then take out the boats at the gazebo and serve a fantastic lunch and then catch all the fish you want in the ponds.  This property could generate significant income with all kinds of business opportunities that it offers.  Durango would love to have something like that.Improvements There is a BIG beautiful gazebo perched right on the river and a huge built in BBQ grill, and picnic tables.
