Introducing Base Camp Village, the last of the developer resort parcels and an extraordinary 27-acre site! Offering a location with extensive highway frontage, breathtaking sweeping mountain and valley views, proximity to the Purgatory Ski Resort and all the services and amenities that come with inclusion in the Durango Mountain Master Association and the Durango Mountain Club. The Resort typically opens the weekend before Thanksgiving for the ski season thanks to snowmaking resources and is operational sometimes well into April! Top feeder markets for the Resort consistently include Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona as Purgatory is the closest ski resort and a convenient driving destination for those year-round adventure seekers. This site is ideal for a variety of uses including hotel, condos, retail, townhomes, a restaurant, an RV park, self storage or some perfect combination of these complementary uses. A Village Conceptual Plan was been approved with the La Plata County Planning Department in 2024 for a 120-room hotel, 75 condo residential units and up to 180,000 commercial GSF setting an incredible opportunity to develop the very first hotel at the Resort! Potentially, 20-30 supplemental RV spaces would be a natural amenity for a lifestyle hotel. Electric is on-site, propane is nearby and this site will be served with water and sewer services by the Purgatory Metro District. As of today, there are no hotels between North Main Avenue and the 25 miles all the way to the Resort. The existing room inventory at the Resort is all individually owned condos placed in rental programs. This 27-33 acre development parcel is ideal for the very first hotel at Purgatory Resort! Durango and Purgatory Resort are hosting the 2030 Mountain Bike Championships! La Plata County commissioners just approved a new subdivision of 100 homes at Purgatory Resort. The Grayrock parcel is directly north of this 27-acre parcel. Be a part of the Resort expansion!
