The city is the county seat of La Plata County and sits at 6512 feet above sea level. Durango is surrounded by the San Juan Mountains and the Animas River Valley, close to the Four Corners area in the southwest corner of the state of Colorado. Given the mountainous high desert geography and perfect climate (not too hot in the summer and not too cold in the winter), there are numerous activities for you year round (see video). Durango, CO is best known for the Historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, closeness to Mesa Verde National Park, and the home to Fort Lewis College. You will see snowcaps on mountains in winter, go rafting in the summer, and have lots of cultural festivals throughout the year.

Wake up every morning sipping coffee on the front porch and watch nature all around you. Durango Colorado homes for sale are unique in nature.  The old is mixed in with the new. More importantly,  it will always be beautiful views. There will be unique archways, Log cabin styles, Southwest style ranches,  or unique woods gently blended with natural stones for accents. You will see houses not built out of standard brick or cookie cutter style down the block; there will be uniqueness. More beautiful rocks and stones will be used, all gently blending in with nature. If you want to buy land and start from scratch, Durango CO has some of most amazing land you can imagine. If you want to farm you will need to learn Southwest style as the soil is different here. There are trees mixed in with brush land and wildflowers that are only native to the area. You could build a modern style log ranch decorated with stone chimneys and fireplaces with a panoramic living room view of the ranch or the mountains. Buying Durango CO real estate is quirky. There are many things to consider, especially if you are from a non-mountainous region or not familiar with the hybrid environments of La Plata County. You would do well to consider working with an exclusive buyers agent – as touted by Suzie Orman and other financial celebrities. An exclusive buyers agent does not work in a firm that handles any seller listings; therefore, there is no overt or subtle pressure to consider the needs of anyone but the buyer.
