About This Home
Take a short drive to see this impressive mountain home, located on the coveted east edge of Elk Meadows-a setting most have not seen. These views are among a small handful of top vistas in our entire area! Here you'll experience the pinnacle of mountain living in this ultra-custom, mountain-modern masterpiece nestled on Wilson Mesa—an outdoor recreation paradise ideally situated between Ouray and Ridgway and Telluride, Colorado. Thoughtfully positioned on one of Ouray County’s most coveted building sites, this exquisitely designed mountain home seamlessly integrates natural elements like native rock outcroppings, mature Ponderosa pines, and sweeping views of the Sneffels Range. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the elevated bridge entry spanning a babbling creek water feature, setting the tone for the sensory-rich experience this home provides. Inside, rustic elegance meets durable craftsmanship with antique wood accents, soft stone tiles, and soaring ceilings framed by floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing panoramic views stretching from the Ouray-Ridgway Valley to the alpine peaks near Lake City and Telluride. The heart of the home is the great room, where a grand stone fireplace anchors the space and an open-concept kitchen—with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and mountain views—invites entertaining. Step out onto the expansive east and south-facing decks, where covered and open-air spaces, including a second natural wood fireplace and a year-round screen porch, create the perfect backdrop for enjoying golden hour light and crisp mountain air. The main-level primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with direct deck access, a spa-like bathroom featuring a jetted tub and glass shower with Sneffels views, and abundant natural light thanks to the southern exposure. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms—including one with built-in bunks and another with direct patio access—provide private sanctuaries for guests or family, while a well-appointed bath, laundry, and mudroom complete the level. Outdoor living continues here with a covered patio, hot tub, and open-air shower. The oversized garage offers flexible space for a workshop or home gym. Upstairs, a cozy loft overlooks the great room and provides the perfect nook for reading, working, or simply soaking in the breathtaking mountain views. Adding to the uniqueness of this property is a detached studio just north of the main home—ideal for an artist’s retreat, home office, or guest space—complete with its own whimsical retro outhouse across the creek. This brings the overall square footage to just over 3300 square feet. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a luxurious mountain getaway, this one-of-a-kind home places you at the doorstep of Colorado’s most iconic outdoor adventures, from hiking, skiing, and mountain biking to fishing and off-roading near Telluride, Ridgway State Park, and the Box Canon in Ouray. This is the mountain lifestyle you've been dreaming of—schedule your private tour today and make it yours.
