$1,500,000 | 409 Old Snag Circle, Hesperus, CO 81326
4 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | 4,315 Sq Ft | 6.88 Acres | Equestrian Setup | Lake Durango Area

Finding acreage close to Durango is becoming increasingly difficult, especially when that acreage already includes an established equestrian setup, usable land, multiple outdoor living spaces, and a home designed for comfortable everyday living. At 409 Old Snag Circle in Hesperus, Colorado, buyers have an opportunity to enjoy the space and privacy of country living while remaining just minutes from downtown Durango.

Located near the desirable Shenandoah area and approximately 12 minutes from downtown Durango, this 6.88-acre property combines a beautifully updated four-bedroom home with horse facilities, mountain and pond views, seasonal water, RV infrastructure, and plenty of room to enjoy the Southwest Colorado lifestyle.

A Durango-Area Acreage Property With Equestrian Appeal

The setting is one of the property's defining characteristics.

Rather than being tucked into a traditional neighborhood, 409 Old Snag Circle provides usable acreage and an established setup for horses and other outdoor pursuits. The property includes a barn with three stalls, paddocks, a tack room, equipment storage, loft space for hay, a fenced arena, and cross-fenced acreage.

For buyers searching for a horse property near Durango, having these features already in place can make a significant difference.

The property also has a seasonal runoff creek that travels along the land toward the community-accessed pond. Views of the pond and surrounding mountains add to the rural Colorado setting.

At the same time, this isn't a remote property. Downtown Durango is approximately 12 minutes away, and Lake Nighthorse is also nearby, providing convenient access to town, recreation, restaurants, shopping, schools, and other everyday amenities.

An Updated Home Filled With Natural Light

Inside, the 4,315-square-foot home offers generous living spaces across two levels.

High ceilings, wood flooring, and abundant windows create an open, light-filled atmosphere. The home's design provides several distinct areas for gathering, entertaining, working from home, and relaxing.

The main living area centers around a striking rock fireplace, creating a natural focal point for the space and a comfortable gathering area during cooler Colorado evenings.

From the living area, the home flows into a spacious kitchen and dining spaces, creating an easy connection between everyday living and entertaining.

A Kitchen Designed for Everyday Living

The kitchen features a combination of updated finishes and practical workspace.

Highlights include:

• Granite countertops
• Butcher-block island with sink
• Newer built-in refrigerator
• Breakfast bar
• Sunny dining nook
• Abundant cabinetry
• Convenient pantry storage

The layout provides room to prepare meals while remaining connected to the rest of the main living area.

For larger gatherings, a separate formal dining room offers additional space for hosting family and friends.

Multiple Main-Level Living Spaces

The main level offers considerably more than the primary living and kitchen areas.

A guest bedroom and full bathroom provide convenient main-level accommodations, while a private office creates dedicated space for working from home.

The large laundry room adds practical functionality, and the oversized family room provides another substantial gathering area.

With multiple living spaces, the home can easily adapt to different stages of life. One room could function as a media or recreation space, while another could serve as a home office, guest area, or quiet retreat.

Outdoor Living With Colorado Views

Expansive multi-level decks extend the home's living areas outside.

From these spaces, residents can take in views across the acreage, neighboring pond, and surrounding landscape.

The outdoor areas provide room for morning coffee, summer entertaining, relaxing after a day on the trails, or simply enjoying the changing seasons of Southwest Colorado.

The existing hot tub pad with electrical connection provides an additional opportunity to create a dedicated outdoor relaxation area.

A covered dog run is another thoughtful feature for households with pets.

A Spacious Primary Suite

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat with views across the acreage and neighboring pond.

The generous bedroom provides plenty of room for comfortable furnishings, while dual walk-in closets offer substantial storage.

The ensuite bathroom includes:

• Soaking tub
• Separate shower
• Double vanities
• Generous storage

The additional bedrooms are also located upstairs. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, creating an efficient layout for family members or guests.

Flexible Den and Additional Bedroom Potential

A large upstairs den provides another flexible space within the home.

Depending on the owner's needs, it could function as a second office, media room, guest area, recreation room, or potentially a fifth bedroom, subject to buyer verification and applicable requirements.

That flexibility is especially useful for buyers who need space for a growing household, frequent visitors, remote work, hobbies, or multiple generations under one roof.

Established Horse and Equestrian Facilities

For an equestrian buyer, the property's existing infrastructure is a major advantage.

The acreage is already configured with:

• Three-stall barn
• Tack room
• Equipment storage
• Hay loft
• Paddocks
• Fenced arena
• Cross-fenced acreage
• Seasonal runoff creek
• Room for horses and outdoor equipment

This setup allows the property to function as more than simply a home on acreage. It provides a foundation for an active Colorado ranch or equestrian lifestyle.

For those searching specifically for Durango horse properties, Colorado equestrian properties, or homes with acreage near Durango, the combination of location and existing infrastructure makes 409 Old Snag Circle particularly compelling.

Room for Recreational Vehicles and Equipment

The property also accommodates an active recreational lifestyle.

A 50-amp RV hookup provides infrastructure for recreational vehicles, while the attached two-car garage offers everyday vehicle storage.

The acreage and existing equipment areas provide additional flexibility for outdoor gear, trailers, tools, and other recreational equipment.

For Southwest Colorado homeowners who spend weekends hiking, biking, camping, horseback riding, boating, or exploring the surrounding mountains, having dedicated space for the equipment that supports those activities can be a significant benefit.

Living Near Lake Nighthorse and Durango

One of the strongest selling points of 409 Old Snag Circle is its location.

The property is positioned near Lake Nighthorse, one of the popular recreation destinations in the Durango area. The lake provides opportunities for boating, paddleboarding, fishing, and enjoying the surrounding landscape.

Downtown Durango is approximately 12 minutes away, allowing residents to enjoy a rural setting without giving up access to the community.

Historic downtown Durango offers locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, galleries, entertainment, and community events. The Animas River runs through town, adding another layer to the area's outdoor lifestyle.

This balance between acreage and accessibility is one of the reasons properties in the Durango rural area are so sought after.

Living in Durango, Colorado

Durango sits in Southwest Colorado surrounded by the San Juan Mountains and a landscape that encourages year-round outdoor recreation.

The community is known for its combination of mountain-town character, outdoor access, local businesses, and proximity to some of Colorado's most scenic landscapes.

Residents can spend a summer morning hiking or biking, enjoy an afternoon in downtown Durango, and return home to an acreage property surrounded by open space and mountain scenery.

Outdoor recreation is a major part of life in the area. Hiking and mountain biking trails, fishing destinations, rivers, lakes, public lands, and scenic mountain roads are all within the broader Durango region.

Winter brings opportunities for skiing and snowboarding at Purgatory Resort, while the warmer months offer extensive opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, camping, boating, and exploring the San Juan Mountains.

For buyers who want access to Durango's amenities but prefer a property with more land and privacy, the surrounding rural areas of La Plata County offer an attractive alternative to in-town living.

A Private Southwest Colorado Retreat

There is something distinctive about having enough land to create a lifestyle around your home.

At 409 Old Snag Circle, that lifestyle could include horses in the pasture, evenings on the deck, time on Lake Nighthorse, weekend adventures in the mountains, or simply enjoying the quiet of an acreage property.

The home's size and layout provide plenty of room indoors, while the land and equestrian facilities extend the possibilities outside.

It is equally suited to someone looking for a full-time residence, an acreage property near Durango, an equestrian home, or a private Southwest Colorado retreat.

Why 409 Old Snag Circle Stands Out

Several features make this property especially interesting for today's Durango-area buyer:

6.88 usable acres provide space and privacy while remaining close to town.

4,315 square feet offer generous living and entertaining space.

Four bedrooms and three bathrooms provide room for family and guests.

Established equestrian facilities include a barn, three stalls, paddocks, arena, tack room, hay storage, and cross-fenced acreage.

Multiple outdoor living spaces take advantage of the property's setting and views.

A flexible upstairs den provides additional space for an office, media room, guest area, or potential fifth bedroom, subject to verification.

50-amp RV hookup adds flexibility for recreational vehicles.

Attached two-car garage provides convenient vehicle storage.

Seasonal creek and pond views add to the natural character of the property.

Proximity to Lake Nighthorse and downtown Durango makes it possible to enjoy an acreage lifestyle without feeling removed from town.
