LOCATION AND AREA Nestled in the picturesque Mancos River Valley a convenient five minutes east of Mancos and thirty minutes west of the Durango historic downtown area, the ranch is located on the west side of US Highway 160, near the base of Mancos Hill. With spectacular views of the La Plata Mountain range to the northeast and Mesa Verde to the south, the ranch sits in a most picturesque setting. Mancos is poised at the base of Mesa Verde National Park, and as a small rural town, offers basic services to the surrounding community. The charming town of Durango is located 25-miles to the north, and has many big city conveniences, including a state-of-the-art new hospital, many fine restaurants, hotels, shopping, a four-year college, and many cultural activities. The four-corners area provides endless activities for the outdoor sports enthusiast. The ranch is at an elevation 7,000 ft. above sea level, surrounded by scenic mountain and valley views, and over 300 days of sunshine each year. Comfortable summer temperatures reach the upper 80s, while the autumn days are clear, cool and full of vibrant foliage colors. The crisp and sunny winter days often feature abundant, light powdery snow.
