Property Description

One Property • Three Landscapes • Endless Possibilities Discover an extraordinary 35-acre mountain property in Ouray County where privacy, productivity, and natural beauty come together in three distinct landscapes—each offering its own character and opportunities. "The Gateway" welcomes you with an established building site complete with underground utilities already in place, a 2,400-square-foot commercial greenhouse, wood-fired boiler, a seasonal pond, two powered shops (one rough-plumbed for a future bathhouse or laundry), structural shipping containers, and zoning that allows for future subdivision. Whether your vision includes a custom home, business venture, or multigenerational living, much of the groundwork has already been completed. "The Homestead" is the private heart of the property. Hidden among the trees, the charming cabin offers rustic comfort with an open-concept design, abundant natural light, a clawfoot tub, and a loft with sunrise views. Nearby are a beautifully crafted root cellar, organic garden and orchard site, chicken coop, two seasonal ponds, and a historic wildlife corridor frequented by deer, elk, eagles, and other wildlife. "The Upper Meadow" opens to approximately 11 fully fenced and irrigated acres with agricultural status, 95 shares of La Tierra Ditch & Reservoir Company water rights, spectacular 360 degree San Juan Mountain views, and room to hike, ride, recreate, or simply enjoy the open space. State approval for a potential fourth pond and the property's layout create exceptional flexibility for future agricultural, recreational, or development opportunities while preserving the privacy of the homestead below. Additional improvements include a freestanding guest casita, storage sheds, screened shade house, and utility infrastructure for future expansion. With no HOA and a location conveniently situated between Montrose, Ridgway, and Telluride, this remarkable property offers an uncommon blend of mountain living, self-sufficiency, income potential, and long-term flexibility.
