Welcome to Oasis Hermosa in the heart of the Animas Valley. This incredibly unique 15.4 acres adjoins San Juan National Forest with a trail connection directly from the property. The love and care on the orchard is evident as you walk the grounds and see the intentionally placed plants and trees including peaches, apricots, plums, pears, apples, hazelnuts, and many types of berry bushes. Huge cottonwoods line the back of the lower property creating plenty of shade for a variety of sitting areas and bird watching; over 50 species of birds have been identified here. There is plenty of irrigation to keep the property lush and you'll enjoy the sound of the water running along the south boundary, as well as a few water features throughout the grounds. There are multiple building sites with views of the iconic red cliffs of the Animas Valley. A yurt designed by Colorado Yurt Company is permitted and off grid, however electric, central water from Animas Water Company and central sewer through Hermosa Sanitation are available to this address. There is currently a septic system serving the yurt. Just 15 mins north of Durango, less than 20 minutes to Purgatory, and 1.5 miles to Durango Hot Springs, Bruce Lane is a coveted street off of County Road 203 with no HOA. This land offers many possibilities and it is ready for someone new to create a sanctuary of their own.
