If rolling pasture, scenic fields of grazing cattle, horses and deer on surrounding farms and ranches, juniper forests, and long mountain vistas seem like the right view, then the areas toward Oxford and Ignacio may be worth a look. While the opportunity to own a 40+ acre mini ranch is ever-present, there are several neighborhoods such as El Ranchos Florida and Sundance Hills, that offer high desert topography and scenery within about 20 minutes of downtown Durango. Look here to potentially maximize value in homesites and larger parcels of land.
