Animosa and Albrech

Animosa and Albrech are two neighboring subdivisions in Durango, established in the 1970s. These areas are nestled away from Highway 550 and boast multimillion-dollar homes, especially those along the Animas River and Hermosa Creek. The neighborhoods are characterized by large, mature Cottonwood trees and offer a mix of older and smaller homes from the 1970s. These properties are highly valued for their tranquility and natural beauty.

 

The terrain in Animosa and Albrech is predominantly flat, suitable for various outdoor activities. Many lots have access to irrigation from the Animas River, and the area is conducive to horse-keeping, with some properties featuring sophisticated riding facilities. Residents typically need to set up their own water wells and septic systems, reflecting a self-sufficient lifestyle.

 

The natural surroundings, including the views of the red cliffs and the presence of wildlife like deer and elk, especially in winter, enhance the appeal of these neighborhoods. The proximity to natural water bodies and the serene environment make Animosa and Albrech a unique and desirable place to live in Durango.
