Rare In-Town Gem - Two Homes, Two Lots, Endless Possibilities! Step into a truly unique opportunity in the heart of Durango - two beautifully crafted homes on two full (combined) city lots, just minutes from downtown, the Animas River, and the Rec Center. This exceptional property offers the best of both worlds: the convenience of in-town living with the serenity and space of the countryside. Set amidst established landscaping, vibrant garden beds, and mature apple trees--including one over a century old--this rare find even features a natural spring and valuable water rights to keep your gardens thriving and your lawn lush. Frequent visits from local wildlife only add to the charm of this private in-town retreat. Perfect for multi-generational living, live/work set up, income-producing rentals, or a live-in-one, rent-the-other scenario, the options here are as flexible as they are valuable.

Historical photos confirm this property's deep roots in the area's legacy. Properties like this rarely hit the market - two homes, two (combined) lots, and endless opportunities all within a short distance of downtown. Don't miss your chance to own a one-of-a-kind piece of Durango's past, present, and future.
