Escalante Village

$750 – $850 Per Month

Escalante Village is a modern tiny home community on the banks of the Animas River in Durango, Colorado. It was built in 2018 as one of the first fully approved tiny home villages in the state. Here, the setting combines mountain views, riverside access, and city convenience, creating a place where tiny living feels both adventurous and practical.

Finding legal land for a tiny home in Colorado is notoriously difficult. Many owners face zoning roadblocks, utility costs, or unstable parking situations. Escalante Village solves those problems by offering legal, fully serviced lots in a managed community. Residents lease land knowing their home has a secure place and their lifestyle receives support.

Lot Rentals & Terms

Leasing here takes away the biggest uncertainty of tiny living: legality and stability. Every site is prepared, serviced, and maintained so you can focus on life, not infrastructure.

• Monthly lot rent ranges between $750 and $850
• Rent includes water, sewer, and trash services
• Electric and internet billed separately for accurate use
• Leases are year-to-year, offering stability with flexibility
• Homes must meet village safety and aesthetic standards

This structure saves you from the high upfront cost of land development. You don’t pay for septic, wells, or hookups on your own. You lease a finished site that is ready for immediate move-in. Knowing your utilities are covered in a predictable bill makes it easier to budget, and the year-to-year lease provides both security and freedom. Choosing Escalante means choosing certainty in a market where tiny homeowners often face risk.

Community Amenities & Resources

Escalante Village offers amenities that add value to daily life and make the community feel complete.

• Shared community building with lounge, meeting space, and kitchen
• Riverside access for fishing, kayaking, and walking
• Pet-friendly policies with trails for exercise and play
• Landscaping, maintenance, and property management included
• Close access to Durango’s shopping, dining, and transit

Amenities here remove the isolation that often comes with private land. You don’t need to maintain acres of property or build community areas yourself. Shared spaces are already in place. The river and trails provide recreation steps from your door. The community building offers a hub for events, connection, and support. Living here means gaining both convenience and connection without losing independence.
