Property Description
Mountain Solitude, Thoughtfully Reimagined - For those who would rather wake to mountain views, wildlife, and open space than traffic, this private 2.7-acre retreat delivers. Ideally positioned between Ridgway and Ouray, the property offers a compelling basecamp for an adventurous mountain lifestyle--with room for animals, gardens, outdoor gear, creative projects, and the pursuits that rarely fit neatly into town living. The 1,150-square-foot residence has been carefully restored from the ground up, blending authentic mountain character with modern craftsmanship. Updated electrical, plumbing, insulation, windows, and lighting are complemented by custom finishes throughout, creating a home that feels warm, polished, and ready to enjoy. A separate 240-square-foot cabin adds valuable flexibility as guest accommodations, an art or wellness studio, or a quiet home office. The newly constructed 35-by-24-foot garage and workshop, complete with a covered carport, provides exceptional space for vehicles, recreational equipment, tools, and the inevitable collection of mountain toys. Outside, extensive improvements have transformed the acreage into a beautifully considered mountain sanctuary. Professionally designed landscaping includes mature and newly planted aspens, pines, and spruce trees, native-stone retaining walls, architectural lighting, a custom waterfall feature, upgraded water infrastructure, RV hookups, and generous parking. Surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery and regularly visited by local wildlife, the property offers privacy and solitude without sacrificing thoughtful design or everyday functionality. Every element has been carefully planned, creating a turnkey Colorado retreat for those who want to live closer to the land--and considerably farther from the ordinary.
