This exquisitely crafted, environmentally conscious mountain retreat offers breathtaking panoramic views of the San Juan Mountain Range and is ideally located between Montrose and Ridgway—just 20 minutes from each and within easy reach of Ouray and Telluride. Perched on one of the most desirable elevated lots above the Uncompahgre River Valley and backing directly to both BLM and Colorado State land, this eco-friendly masterpiece invites you to hike thousands of acres of pristine wilderness right from your back door. Thoughtfully designed with sustainability and comfort in mind, the 3,594 sq ft, four-bedroom, three-bath home features passive solar design, a solar PV system, and geothermal heating and cooling—delivering both energy efficiency and year-round comfort. Inside, natural light floods every room, highlighting the rich textures of wood, stone, and glass, from the soaring cathedral ceilings and statement fireplace in the great room to the stunning chef’s kitchen and warm, elegant finishes throughout. The primary suite offers sunrise views, deck access, and a spa-like bath, while additional bedrooms and flex spaces—including a mountain-view loft ideal for a yoga studio or office—offer flexibility for any lifestyle. The lower level boasts a walkout patio with hot tub, fireplace-centered family room, and an impressive multi-use fourth bedroom. With oversized garages, a separate workshop, and a fully paved driveway, every detail of this custom-built home by one of the region’s premier builders reflects craftsmanship and care. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready mountain sanctuary that combines sustainable luxury with unmatched access to nature and year-round adventure.

While some residents note a more conservative demographic and a smaller town feel with limited nightlife, Montrose boasts a growing array of amenities like a top-shelf recreation center, a diverse parks and trails system, and increasingly varied dining options. The community is generally considered friendly, with many residents enjoying a lifestyle where outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and exploring are a daily possibility, all while benefiting from a relatively ideal cost of living and a regional airport with direct flights to major U.S. cities.
