Description

"United RV and Campground" with abundant opportunities and an absolute prime location just being 4 min from Downtown Durango, CO, in the highly sought after Animas Valley. This 81 +/- acres featuring almost one full mile of the Gold Medal Animas River, with 185 plus turn key RV and tent camping spots with views of the river. This upscale campground also has a convenient store, pool (heated), laundry facility, rental homes, clean showers. Land United RV Campground Park is located in Durango, CO. The town of Durango has a very rich history of the old west, where you still have horse and buggy rides in town, line dancing, 135 +/- restaurants and bars, Fort Lewis Collage is in Durango and is a awesome collage, ( makes it easy to find workers) and one of the best ski mountains in Colorado Purgatory Ski Resort which offers great skiing for any level of skier and is only 15/20 min from the park and has all kinds of summertime actives as well including a gravity roller coaster, also very close are great golf courses, hot springs, the town of Silverton, the Million Dollar Hwy, Ouray, this corridor is one of the most heavily traveled highways in Colorado with millions and millions of visitors passing the park !! One of my favorite things about Durango is the 1.8 million acres of National Forest to enjoy the outdoors, and everything there is to offer in the San Juan Mountains, creating an outdoor enthusiast paradise, hiking, camping, fishing, mountain biking, lakes and rivers everywhere and hunting with Colorado offering OTC Elk tags on 2nd and 3 rd rifle. One of the biggest attractions at this resort is the historical Durango/ Silverton train that runs directly through the top of the property and people come from all over the nation to see and take pictures of the train as it passes through the park as it's done since 1882 and you feel like you just stepped back in time. This property is being offered for sale for the first time in over 75 years and is a very rare find in the Animas Valley. The property has been extremely well cared for and is in fantastic shape and is thriving as a business currently as is. The park has a main home 4 bedroom and 3 baths where the current owners live on property or could be rented out all year as a VRBO and also the park has another 3 bed ,2 bath great care taker home (new) that is rented to the care taker and he lives on the property as well, having a care taker on site allows you to leave the business for a vacation or to see family and you have peace of mind the park is being taken care of while your away. (Big Plus). There is a large 3/4 bay garage that even has a full commercial lift for working on all your toys and 2 fuel tanks on property for easy fill up on the parks large farm equipment and vehicles. Several barns all very large all fenced. The Park also offers a full laundry services with multiple washers and dryers and were just all repainted to look new, there are hot and cold water his and hers showers plus outdoor restrooms for the park, great heated swimming pool that the kids of course love or go swimming in the almost one full mile of river with fantastic sandy beaches and crystal clear water, a full convenience store, wi-fi, several other fenced pastures and an old historical home that was actually taken apart piece by piece and then reassembled back on the park and is part of the old west history and would make yet another great rental (VRBO) all year. These are all great features of a great business and a great property but my personal favorites and where I can see endless opportunity is in the undeveloped 70 +/- acres below the park with almost one full mile of river front on the Animas Gold Medal river thats lined with these huge Cottonwood trees which provides big shade and in the fall the colors are just spectacular to see and is a surreal feeling of peace and quite. This also would be where you could build your large custom home on the river with also mountain views, away from the business yet still on the property and have the river in your front yard. Other ideas for (Developers, Contractors, Entrepreneurs) custom built homes, VRBO's, tiny homes, shooting range, driving range, glamping, kayaking, canoeing, float fishing and weddings would do AMAZING and could accommodate hundreds of guests and parking easily and there is a huge demand for beautiful venues in Durango especially on the river (Big Money). This RV Park would be just an absolute gem of a property with crazy potential. In the Animas Valley it holds a large resident herd of Elk and Deer which just makes you smile, they are seen in the Valley almost everyday. For the river, it is a gold medal river which means excellent fishing up to 26-30 inch Rainbows, Browns and German Trout. The river also allows for waterfowl hunting in your own back yard, also the river has a couple unique large SANDY beaches which makes for great swimming, or just laying out and having a picnic. This 70 +/- open acres could go in so many different directions, you could develop it, expand the already thriving RV business, or add in another idea. There is also 3/5 acre piece of land has been identified for a large pond that could be added for improving the wildlife habitat and waterfowl hunting, having the ability to fill it with 16 shares of Class A water the pond could easily be filled and maintained and would add huge increasing value to the park. The value of the water shares I would guess are worth in the millions (my own opinion) and I believe as time passes the water will just become a bigger asset for the entire RV Park or any ranch for that matter. Water is absolute Gold now and without the water you simply don't have much and 16 shares of Class A Shares is a lot of water. To sum it up you have an open canvas to create your own dreams or keep it all just as it is to yourself or just leave it just the way it is and have a profitable turn key business with a huge back yard. Lastly as a added bonus the Park is on all city utilities, (power, water, sewer) extremely convenient for building whatever you chose. If your not familiar with building in Colorado this benefit is incredible and very convenient for developing fast. The Park currently is only open from May 1st to Oct 15th, this resort offers amenities that could easily keep it open ALL YEAR LONG and then add its incredible location ( just as perfect as you can get) and you all of a sudden have an opportunity that will not come along again. There is just nothing in the valley like it. Recreation You name it and I think it could be done. Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources 16 Shares of Class A- Animas consolidated water rights !! Great water !!
