We envision Twin Buttes to become a vibrant, village-style neighborhood where a night out with friends can be spent right around the corner at a classy restaurant with ingredients sourced from the farm.

We anticipate having frequent bus service to downtown Durango to further reduce the need for a car.
Getting to Know the Land and Wildlife
Natural beauty is all around you at Twin Buttes. With just a short stroll outside, you can find yourself in a mix of open woodlands. Ponderosa Pine is joined by spruce, gambel oak, pinon pine, Utah juniper, and red cedar trees. The first wildlife you’ll probably notice are deer and flocks of wild turkeys, who seem to feel right at home in our community. Twin Buttes is also home to elk, fox, coyote, cottontails, and a wide variety of birds, with cutthroat trout and other aquatic creatures living in Lightner Creek.
Striving Toward Sustainability
Life in Twin Buttes of Durango means being a good steward of the land we all call home. Our master plan avoids suburban sprawl, while preserving a good deal of the natural environment.
Wildlife corridors are preserved. Natural areas and trees between lots and neighborhoods are valued and left as they are. Stone and wood are re-used on site. A design review assures that buildings are not only inspired by the magnificent natural surroundings, but are also energy-efficient. We encourage the use of environmentally-responsible building and native or edible landscaping. With plenty of southern exposure, a number of our residents have chosen to power their homes with solar energy.
