Elk Stream Ranch is a stunningly beautiful yet unpretentious gated community located between Mancos and Durango. This private canyon setting is a haven for wildlife and a wonderful place to live close to nature while still having easy access to all of life's essentials - high speed internet, great schools, arts, community & culture, fine dining, and countless outdoor pursuits. Lot #31 in Elk Stream Ranch is unique in that the building envelope faces southeast and has great sun exposure within the canyon. The lot also crosses the road and the canyon bottom, encompassing 5 or more acres of open pasture which could be fenced for animals, making this an attractive property for horse owners. The lot directly abuts BLM public lands, and there's a gated access point just a few hundred yards down the canyon giving residents access to a vast network of public lands for riding horses, hiking, and other activities. Road 46 is meticulously maintained year-round by the HOA, and residents enjoy the privacy and security of a gated community with very low taxes. Elk Stream Ranch is also a designated Firewise community. Nearby Mancos was named one of America's Best Small Towns by Smithsonian Magazine, and features a mix of casual and fine dining, world class art galleries, an Opera House and much more. Durango with all its charms is less than 25 miles away. Build your dream home at Elk Stream Ranch and Experience the very best of southwest Colorado.
