Mancos East Ranch, a 140-acre mountain retreat perfectly situated just off Highway 160 between Durango and Mesa Verde National Park. From this ideal location, you can enjoy the best of Southwest Colorado’s adventure corridor—world-class skiing in Telluride, fly-fishing and rafting on the Animas River, hiking and hunting in the San Juan Mountains, and the arts, dining, and festivals of Durango, all within easy reach.
Only five minutes from the historic town of Mancos, you can dine along the creekside, explore local galleries, and experience the charm of a true Colorado mountain community. To the west lies Mesa Verde National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and to the east, the vast alpine wilderness of the San Juans—offering limitless recreation in every direction.
The ranch itself blends privacy, productivity, and modern comfort. With irrigated meadows, dry pastures, ponds, and abundant wildlife, the land is as functional as it is scenic. The newly remodeled one-bedroom, one-bath single-level home has been rebuilt down to the studs with input from civil engineers, designers, and craftsmen—ready for use as a private getaway or a turnkey short-term rental.
A large barn/garage, improved infrastructure, professional property management, and detailed due diligence—including survey, inspections, and environmental assessments—make this a uniquely prepared and market-ready holding. Surrounded by towering ponderosa pines and panoramic mountain views, Mancos East Ranch captures the essence of the Colorado lifestyle: alpine air, open space, and proximity to every adventure the West has to offer.
