INTRODUCING VAQUERO, Durango's next premier high-end subdivision of homesites ranging from 3 to 6 acres with mountain views and set among an 80-acre gently sloping Ponderosa Pine and Scrub Oak forest. Located 15 minutes West of historic downtown Durango, CO with access via County Road 125 and Seabiscuit Drive, Vaquero will offer owners the serenity of living in the woods complimented by the convenience of close proximity to town. THIS OFFERING includes 18 residential lots (3 - 6 acres) currently in the entitlement process at the La Plata County Planning Department. The Seller anticipates submitting for Preliminary Plat by March 2026 and all progress/completed engineering, surveying, covenants, traffic studies, fire suppression systems and entitlements in process at the time of sale will be conveyed. The Seller's family has owned this property for generations and they are looking for a Buyer who will take what they've created on this beautiful land and bring it to fruition. HISTORY AND HERITAGE on this parcel dates back to the turn of the century when a ranching family by the name of Ridenour had as much as 1,400 acres here used for ranching and grazing cattle. A small town called Porter was established there in 1891 when the Rio Grande Southern Railway was built. The post office was there from 1891 to 1908. It was named after John Porter who had a hand in establishing the Town of Durango and the coal industry in the SW Colorado region among other impressive achievements. Porter had a couple of hundred residents and included the post office, a hotel, stores, the Porter Coal Mine, a railroad section house and a saloon! The historic images are included in the listing photos. The Animas Museum provided some history and early images of this area from back in the day when the Rio Grande Southern Railway had a train stop along the Wildcat Canyon in Porter, CO. UTILITIES include Lake Durango Water Authority, La Plata Electric nearby and fiber internet. Homeowners will need to install septic systems and propane as needed. This packaged offering with an opportunity to develop 18 gorgeous homesites in the tall pines with a rich history and close proximity to downtown Durango is quite unique!
