Ptarmigan Farms is a distinctive neighborhood located to the north-northeast of Durango, near the oxbow curves of the Animas River. The development features 14 lots, with most homes and barns sitting on spacious plots ranging from 6 to 9 acres. Additionally, there are a few undeveloped lots that are as large as 35 acres. These large lots provide ample space for horse owners to build stalls or run-in sheds and allow their horses to graze and exercise. The primary use of these properties is for grazing, and the area is characterized by a lack of natural trees.
The neighborhood is accessed via a very short road and is governed by a mandatory Homeowners Association (HOA), which is primarily responsible for road maintenance. The subdivision rules do not permit manufactured homes, resulting in all existing homes being custom-built. The price range for properties with developed homes in Ptarmigan Farms typically falls between $600,000 and $1.5 million. These homes are serviced by city water but rely on individual septic systems.
Ptarmigan Farms offers a sense of rural seclusion, as a ridge in the southern part of the subdivision obstructs the view of Durango, enhancing the countryside ambiance. Most properties in the area have direct access to water, an essential feature for livestock owners​​.
