Property Description
Once-in-a-Lifetime Riverfront Opportunity! River Mist, offered for the first time in 20 years, is a rare 4-acre, fully irrigated riverfront property on the Florida River and features a total of 4,078 square feet of versatile living space with no HOA. Nearly 300 feet of Florida riverfront on both sides of the river. Complete with irrigation setup and 6.1 acre feet of senior water rights, this property has commercial and agricultural potential (subject to county guidelines). This peaceful property is ideal for a hobby farm, equestrian use, or those seeking room to live, work, and grow with ample space and water. The 2,400-square-foot main home offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The main level features an updated kitchen, combined living room/dining room with French doors extending to outdoor patio/BBQ area, family room with wood stove and separate entrance, a full bathroom, and an office space that could be used as a fourth bedroom. The upper level features a large master bedroom with double closets and a full bathroom with double sinks. The second bedroom has a private balcony facing the orchard. The second and third bedroom share a one and 3/4 bathroom. Recent improvements include a new roof (2026), new front deck (2026), an oversized septic system (2024), new kitchen flooring (2026), a new water heater (2023), and a new furnace and air conditioning system (2023) serving the attached bonus space. The approximately 1,700-square-foot attached bonus space includes a kitchenette, two half bathrooms, a small office space, and two large additional rooms, making it ideal for a potential ADU, business use (subject to county regulations), or a home office/business. Pre-inspection report provided. The grounds showcase mature willow trees, an established apple orchard, apricot trees, lush pasture, fenced grassy areas, a fenced garden area with a gazebo, a horse barn with tack room and electricity, room for horses, and a private riverfront campsite with a fire pit and 30-amp RV plug-in. A detached two-car garage with 220-volt electrical service and an expansive parking area provide ample space for multiple vehicles, trailers, and RVs. Abundant wildlife, including deer, wild turkey, a variety of bird species and great fishing enhances the tranquil riverfront setting. Conveniently located just minutes from Three Springs, Mercy Hospital, and the Durango-La Plata County Airport, this exceptional property is less than 20 minutes from historic downtown Durango.
