When You Choose Durango Mountain Homes by Morgan Taylor

You’re working with a team that has been actively building in the Durango resort corridor since 2020. Our focus in Durango is simple and intentional: delivering modern alpine townhomes and offering premium, build-ready mountain lots directly across from Purgatory Resort.

From first inquiry through closing, our team provides clear communication, local market expertise, and a streamlined process tailored specifically to resort and mountain property buyers.

DURANGO Mountain Homes

Durango Mountain Homes offers two distinct ownership opportunities:

  • Turn-key townhomes in Black Bear, designed for low-maintenance mountain living and rental flexibility
  • Build-ready estate lots at Aspen Ridge Estates in Engineer Village for buyers looking to design and build a custom mountain home

Whether you want a finished residence ready to enjoy immediately or a premium lot to create a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat, our team can help you identify the right fit based on your goals.

The Perfect Location

All Durango Mountain Homes offerings are in close proximity to Purgatory Ski Resort and surrounded by the San Juan National Forest. This location provides unmatched access to skiing, hiking, biking, fishing, and year-round mountain recreation.

Our available properties are situated within established resort communities with paved roads, underground utilities, central water and sewer, and high-speed internet—a rare combination for mountain real estate.

If you are evaluating multiple options within the Purgatory area, our team can walk you through the differences between communities, lot characteristics, and home types to help you make an informed decision.

A Thoughtful, Guided Process

While Durango Mountain Homes does not offer semi-custom build programs, buyers of Aspen Ridge Estates lots have the opportunity to design and build a fully custom mountain home with a clear understanding of site conditions, utilities, and resort guidelines.

For townhome buyers, our focus is on delivering high-quality, thoughtfully designed residences with premium finishes, efficient layouts, and strong long-term value—ideal for full-time living, second homes, or short-term rental use.

Our Team of Professionals

Morgan Taylor Homes brings together experienced professionals across development, construction, design coordination, and sales. In Durango, our team is deeply familiar with the resort market, HOA requirements, and the unique considerations of building and owning in a mountain environment.

We prioritize transparency, responsiveness, and long-term relationships—helping buyers feel confident at every step of the process.

DURANGO, CO SCHOOLS

Students in Durango are likely to be part of the Durango 9-R School District, where they can attend institutions home to pre-k through twelfth grade. The schools are highly rated and very popular amongst Durango residents. However, parents have more options with a good amount of charter and private schools throughout the city. 

Residents of Durango can also take advantage of higher education institutions, with the most notable being Fort Lewis College. The Public Liberal Arts College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and offers 30 different bachelor’s degree programs.

RECREATION IN DURANGO, CO

Recreation is at the core of life in Durango, Colorado, and is one of the primary reasons the area continues to attract visitors, second-home buyers, and full-time residents alike. While Downtown Durango offers art galleries, shopping, dining, and local events along historic Main Avenue, the region’s true draw lies in its unmatched access to year-round outdoor adventure.

Durango’s mountain lifestyle is anchored by Purgatory Resort, located just north of downtown and widely regarded as one of the premier ski destinations in the Southwest. In winter, the resort delivers world-class skiing and snowboarding across varied terrain, along with Nordic skiing, snowmobiling, dining, and après-ski amenities. In warmer months, Purgatory transforms into a four-season playground offering hiking, mountain biking, alpine coasters, scenic chairlift rides, and family-friendly events—all set against the dramatic backdrop of the San Juan Mountains.

Beyond the resort, outdoor recreation extends throughout the surrounding region. The Animas River Valley provides opportunities for whitewater rafting, kayaking, fly fishing, and paddle sports, while the San Juan National Forest offers endless trails for hiking and exploration. Combined with seasonal festivals, mountain scenery, and easy access to both resort and town amenities, Durango offers a recreation-focused lifestyle that is difficult to match anywhere in Colorado.
