Florida River Farms Neighborhood, Durango CO – Homes & Land

Florida River Farms is a rural subdivision in Durango, Colorado located at approximately 6,749 feet in elevation. The neighborhood sits on flat land that was historically pasture, and many of the lots are irrigated. Some properties border the Florida River, and the landscape includes open pasture with trees primarily planted by homeowners or located along the river.

What to Expect

County roads form the west and south boundaries of the subdivision and are paved, while the internal neighborhood roads are gravel and maintained by the homeowners association. Each property requires its own private well for water and an individual septic system for wastewater. Gas service is provided through bottled propane. Some lots are located within the 100-year floodplain, which may affect insurance considerations. A gas well is located immediately north of the subdivision. The area is also within a region of southeastern La Plata County that falls within an oil and gas zone, which may require additional due diligence during the purchasing process.
