Holman Heights

Holman Heights is a rural neighborhood located on the western edge of rural Bayfield off County Road 223 near Gem Village. This cozy La Plata County community in the countryside near the Foxfire Ranch subdivision is scattered with wildlife nesting alongside old and overgrown cottonwood, juniper and pinon trees. Holman Heights is conveniently located between Bayfield and Durango. The daily commute to Bayfield from the neighborhood is a little over 10 minutes and about 20 minutes to downtown Durango via Highway 160. The proximity to both Bayfield and Durango gives residents easy access to gas stations, grocery stores and restaurants in addition to pristine outdoor recreation on nearby public lands.

Popular activities in the area include hiking, biking, horseback riding and exploring designated trails with off-road vehicles during the summer. Anglers can fish along the riverbanks of the Florida and Los Pinos rivers. For more fishing with the added advantage of boating and paddling, access to Lemon Reservoir and Vallecito Lake is just 30 minutes away. Activities such as skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing and snowmobiling are also popular pastimes in the winter and spring seasons.

Many of the properties in Holman Heights include single-family homes surrounded by open acres of undeveloped land. The available open space on these residential properties creates opportunities for landowners to erect the gardens, garages or greenhouses of their dreams. n
