161. Acres
Welcome to one of the most extraordinary land offerings in all of Southwest Colorado—161 pristine acres in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, boasting world-class, unobstructed views of the Sneffels Range, Cimarron Ridge, and the majestic peaks surrounding Telluride, Ouray, and Ridgway. Often described by brokers and buyers alike as the finest mountain parcel ever seen, this remarkable legacy property offers unmatched beauty, privacy, and versatility for the discerning buyer.
Unlike typical high-alpine parcels, this land is entirely usable, with gently rolling topography that seamlessly blends open, wildflower-filled meadows with lush, mature forests and multiple spring-fed ponds. The setting is breathtaking—ideal for building a luxury mountain estate, private hunting retreat, family compound, or conservation-minded legacy property. Wildlife is abundant, with daily sightings of elk, deer, wild turkey, and even black bear—an outdoorsman’s dream just minutes from the conveniences of Ridgway and a short, scenic drive to Telluride’s world-renowned ski resort.
The property includes four individually platted 40-acre parcels, allowing flexibility to sell separately or retain the full 161-acre sanctuary as a single, magnificent estate. Tucked a quarter-mile off County Road 62X, the parcel offers complete seclusion from traffic and visitors, while still maintaining year-round access via private drive, with winter access by snowmobile or ATV. Solar power, septic, and a productive well can be easily installed—or hold the property long-term with extremely low agricultural taxes while you design your dream mountain retreat.
This is a rare chance to own one of Colorado’s most stunning and versatile landholdings—perfect for those seeking privacy, grandeur, and enduring value in the majestic San Juans.
Living in Ouray County, Colorado, offers an unparalleled experience for those who cherish stunning natural beauty and a tight-knit community feel. Nestled amidst the majestic San Juan Mountains, residents enjoy immediate access to world-class hiking, skiing, ice climbing, and hot springs, making it an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. The charming town of Ouray, often called "Switzerland of America," boasts a historic downtown with Victorian architecture and a welcoming atmosphere, while Ridgway offers a more contemporary, artsy vibe. While the remote location means fewer amenities and a higher cost of living, the trade-off is a peaceful, vibrant lifestyle surrounded by breathtaking scenery and a strong sense of local pride
