As close as 15 minutes to the West of Durango, are several large acreage subdivisions and pocket neighborhoods, such as Trappers Crossing, Shenandoah, Lake Durango, Rafter J, King Mountain Estates, La Plata Vista Estates and more. Homesites here are typically between three and 35 acres. These homes, in the foothills of the La Plata Mountains, may include views of the La Platas and Lake Nighthorse, or maybe tucked into a private, cozy lot, surrounded by Ponderosa Pine, Juniper, and Piñon trees. This is a good area to look for a home for those interested in being close to town with some separation from their neighbors.
