Property Description
Rare opportunity to own an affordable 40-acre Colorado homestead and off-grid retreat in Hesperus with mountain views, animal setups, detached shop, root cellar, and endless potential for self-sufficient country living. This unique Southwest Colorado property offers the freedom and flexibility buyers are increasingly searching for with no HOA, no covenants, usable acreage, and room for horses, livestock, gardens, RVs, trailers, equipment, and future expansion. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, hobby farm, hunting property, recreational getaway, or future dream home site, this versatile setup delivers incredible value at an increasingly hard-to-find price point. The charming home has been successfully full-time occupied and offers a warm, functional living space surrounded by peaceful Colorado scenery and wide-open skies. Existing animal setups and fenced areas make the property ideal for horses, goats, chickens, and other livestock, while the large detached shop with concrete floors offers excellent space for workshop use, mechanics, storage, tools, toys, tractors, side-by-sides, outdoor gear, or equipment. The root cellar adds both charm and practical food storage capability for gardening and sustainable living. For additional buyer convenience and value, the property is also receiving a newly updated septic system. The expansive acreage provides privacy, usable terrain, and room to expand with the option to potentially build an additional home site closer to the main road while continuing to utilize the existing improvements. Enjoy easy year-round access while still feeling tucked away in your own private Colorado retreat, all within convenient driving distance to Durango, Farmington, skiing, hiking, hunting, fishing, ATV trails, and public land access. The property has already been pre-inspected, offering additional transparency and confidence for buyers. Opportunities like this with 40 acres, animal infrastructure, detached shop space, usable acreage, and no restrictions are becoming increasingly rare in the Hesperus and Southwest Colorado market.
