About this property
Perfectly positioned just minutes from downtown Durango, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom home on 7 usable acres offers a rare combination of Durango acreage, an established horse/equestrian setup, privacy and convenient access to town. Located near the highly desirable Shenandoah area and just minutes from Lake Nighthorse, 409 Old Snag is approximately 12 minutes from downtown Durango and provides the space and versatility of Colorado country living without sacrificing everyday convenience. The current owners have completed substantial updates throughout the property, complementing an impressive interior with high ceilings, wood flooring and abundant windows that fill the home with natural light. The main living area is centered around a striking rock fireplace and opens to a spacious kitchen featuring granite countertops, a butcher-block island with sink, newer built-in refrigerator, breakfast bar and sunny dining nook. A separate formal dining room offers additional entertaining space, while expansive multi-level decks extend the living areas outdoors and overlook the surrounding acreage. The main level also includes a guest bedroom and full bathroom, private office, large laundry room and oversized family room with excellent natural light. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite enjoys views across the acreage and neighboring pond and features dual walk-in closets and an ensuite bath with soaking tub, separate shower and double vanities. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while a large den provides flexible space for a second office, media room, guest area or potential fifth bedroom. Outside, this Durango horse property is already set up for equestrian use with a barn, three stalls and paddocks, tack room, equipment storage, loft space for hay, fenced arena and cross-fenced acreage. A seasonal runoff creek travels along the property toward the Community Accessed pond, adding to the natural setting. Additional features include an attached two-car garage, covered dog run, 50-amp RV hookup and an existing hot tub pad with electrical connection. With usable acreage, horse facilities, multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces and room to further personalize, this property offers a combination increasingly difficult to find so close to Durango.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
