Property Description

With more water than the tears of heaven cry for the lost souls of The Animas River, "Little Fishes" is a unique canvas ready for a new owner to continue building something legendary. The 80 acres consists of 4,000+ feet of oxbow Animas River frontage, army corp engineered stream improvements, 7 engineered ponds with depths ranging from 8-20 ft for wildlife and fish, 3.5 CFS total which includes adjudicated and absolute water rights for piscatorial, irrigation and recreation. Adjudicated water conditional for irrigating 35 acres. See Addendum for Water Rights description. Up to 7 homesites potentially allowed for 1 owner with two building pads roughed in and identified. This truly can be your angler's paradise to create what your dreams are made of. No Covenants tie down this land as it can be used for multiple structures for events and gatherings, agricultural livestock grazing around trout ponds or building Luxury Residential with premier views. Little fishes is located only 10 miles to town and 14 miles to the La Plata County Airport and has permitted ingress and egress on both sides of CR 213 with 4 permitted drives. Visits from herring, crane, geese, duck, eagle, fox, deer, coyote, red tail hawk, or elk will be the usual. Because it is located south of Durango, annual snowfall isn't as bothersome compared to the northern riverbanks of Durango where elevation increases into the River's womb of the Rocky Mountains. This Southwestern climate locale is more arid as witnessed by Cedar and Juniper trees. Bring your flyrod, your friends and family, and a large cooler to capture all the memories and fish you can handle! We look forward to taking you on a in person tour to better understand how truly special this stretch of property is.
