About this home
Home to a college-preparatory boarding school for the past 50+ years, this property is now being offered for sale and offers a multitude of uses. Opportunity abounds on this 42-acre property with 1000' of Animas River frontage and stunning 360 degree views. With 20 cabins, a dining hall, commercial kitchen, recreation lodge, and multiple classroom buildings, everything is in place for someone to step in and open a school, seasonal camp, or corporate retreat. The Animas Valley zoning district allows for further residential development of the property as well. The property could also be developed into a family compound, or as your own private Colorado mountain homesite or mini ranch. The property slopes gently towards the Animas River and has a combination of tall pine trees and open meadows. Located less than 15 minutes from Purgatory Resort, five minutes from two championship golf courses, and with access to thousands and thousands of acres of National Forest just a stone's throw away, this is truly an exceptional property. Only 15 minutes from historic downtown Durango, this one of a kind property was once home to Pinkerton Hot Springs. Opportunities like this are few and far between, with large acreage properties along the Animas River rarely being available for purchase....
