Residential Durango

Rarely does an opportunity of this magnitude present itself. Riversong Ranch, two of the Animas Valley’s most exceptional riverfront properties, is being offered in its entirety as a unified legacy estate. A combined canvas of more than 74 acres, nearly 2,000 feet of private Animas River frontage, and a level of equestrian and lifestyle infrastructure that simply cannot be replicated. The Residence estate is a masterpiece unto itself. Set against panoramic 360° views of the valley’s legendary red cliffs and emerald pastures, this riverfront sanctuary captures the very soul of Colorado living. A quarter mile of private river frontage, complete with a secluded sandy beach and winding trails sets the stage for a life lived without compromise. An expansive private pond with its own beach, pergola, and full outdoor kitchen creates an entertainer’s dreamscape, where evenings stretch into nights beneath a canopy of Colorado stars. The home is nothing short of extraordinary. Reclaimed wood beams from the historic Great Salt Lake train trestles, authentic Chicago brick, and cold-rolled steel accents anchor the home in history while exuding timeless sophistication. Accordion glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, framing living spaces with breathtaking views at every turn. Every appointment reflects an uncompromising commitment to luxury — Restoration Hardware fixtures, Lutron recessed shades, Cambria stone counters, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, two commanding stone fireplaces, and a private theater den. The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, featuring handmade Italian tile, heated floors, a steam shower, and a soaking tub with unobstructed valley views. Oversized utilities are already stubbed out and ready to accommodate a future two-bedroom guest residence. The equestrian setup is equally ornate, with miles of white vinyl fencing that create 7 Paddocks with personal flood irrigated pastures and loafing sheds complete with cement floors and rubber mat surfaces. Additionally a mare barn with two foaling stalls and tack room, large outdoor riding arena, rotational pastures, hay barn and large equipment shed round out the residence estate. The Equestrian Estate elevates the combined offering to a class entirely its own. Purpose-built for the serious horseman, the property’s infrastructure is comprehensive and turnkey: 20 stalls across two premier barns, the 12-stall and fully enclosed Cliff Barn, complete with wash stalls, office, tack room, and bathroom, and the 8-stall River Barn, serve as the operational heart of the facility. Sixteen individual paddocks with loafing sheds and heated automatic waterers, four irrigated rotational pastures, a half-acre outdoor arena with vinyl fencing, and a ventilated indoor arena ensure that every aspect of a world-class equestrian program is accounted for. Rounding out the improvements are a heated equipment shop with a large carport and three bays for all your machinery needs in addition to a well appointed 3 bed 2 bath home that provides the ability to house full time caretaking staff. Together, the two properties command an extraordinary water position: 24 Class A shares from the Animas Valley Ditch & Water Co. holding ponds, gated pipe, and sprinkler infrastructure combine with over 20 acres of lush irrigated alfalfa fields to create one of the most productive and water-secure ranches in the valley. A heated equipment shop with oversized bays, 2 south-facing hay barns, white vinyl and welded pipe fencing throughout completes an operation built to perform as beautifully as it lives. And yet, with all of this sweeping privacy and grandeur, downtown Durango’s world-class dining, culture, and amenities are just 10 minutes away. This is more than a real estate transaction. It is the acquisition of a legacy; a once-in-a-generation opportuni
