Florida Acres Neighborhood, Durango CO – Homes & Land

Florida Acres is a small subdivision in Durango, Colorado, located on Florida Mesa at approximately 6,972 feet in elevation. Developed in the 1980s, the neighborhood sits on former pastureland that is irrigated, with most trees planted by homeowners. Homes are typically modest and well maintained, with lot sizes ranging from about 3 to 3.5 acres and home sizes between approximately 1,432 and 2,767 square feet.

What to Expect

The subdivision is served by a single gravel road maintained by the homeowners association. Most homes sit east of the main road, with a few located at the end of a cul-de-sac. Each property relies on its own private well for water and an individual septic system for wastewater. Natural gas service is not available, so homes typically use bottled propane. The neighborhood lies within a portion of southeastern La Plata County that is part of an oil and gas zone, which may require additional due diligence during the purchasing process.

Lifestyle

Florida Acres provides a rural residential setting with moderate acreage and irrigated land that was historically pasture. Wildlife such as deer and occasional fox are commonly seen in the area.
