River Bend Ranch is the premier wedding and event venue for Durango and southwest Coloradoâ??a rare riverfront estate that pairs striking natural beauty with a proven hospitality business. Set on 22 acres in the heart of the Animas River Valley, this property blends refined rural living with the con...venience of a fully operational destination venue. Framed by the dramatic red cliffs and surrounding mountains of the valley known as the â??Gold Coast of Southwest Colorado,â? the ranch offers a timeless setting for celebrations, gatherings, and private retreats. Two scenic pondsâ??one notably large with a long dock that mirrors the cliffs and skyâ??anchor the grounds and create a serene focal point for outdoor ceremonies and photography. Manicured lawns, mature trees, and irrigated grounds extend toward the Animas River, where a section of frontage provides river access. Superior water rights support irrigation, landscaping, and the estateâ??s lush, park-like character. At the center of the property stands a 3,440-square-foot event center featuring a catering kitchen, large bar, bridal suite, and state-of-the-art audio and video systems. Outdoor ceremonies unfold against sweeping mountain backdrops, accommodating up to 200 guests in comfort and privacy. Supporting structures include a 400-square-foot gazebo, and a 1,000-square-foot workshop. Residential accommodations include a 2,255-square-foot primary home, and a 1,360-square-foot luxury log cabin used as guest lodging and a highly successful short-term rental. The main residence, currently the ownersâ?? home, could readily transition into additional rental or event housing. River Bend Ranch is recognized as the leading wedding venue in the region, celebrated for its setting, service, and professional management. Strong seasonal demand, forward bookings, and an experienced staff sustain consistent performance. Adding to the ranchâ??s charm, the historic Durangoâ??Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad passes along the propertyâ??s edge, offering a quintessential Colorado scene as it moves through the valley. Located just ten minutes from downtown Durango and thirty minutes from the Durangoâ??La Plata County Airport, the ranch combines accessibility with seclusion. It also adjoins an 83-acre parcel available for additional development or expansion, creating a larger resort-scale opportunity for buyers seeking both immediate income and long-term potential (see MLS # 829364). River Bend Ranch stands as the benchmark for luxury event venues in the Four Corners regionâ??an incomparable combination of scenery, craftsmanship, and business strength set within one of Coloradoâ??s most iconic landscapes. *Call for showings and information. **Please do not go to the property without an appointment.
