A Private Mountain Escape Above Ridgway Just above the charming mountain town of Ridgway, Colorado, lies a property that feels like it was designed for those who want it all: privacy, comfort, and a front-row seat to the beauty of the San Juan Mountains. At the very edge of Elk Meadows, on two wooded acres, this home sits at the end of a quiet road where the only interruptions are the sound of wind through the trees and the sight of endless mountain vistas. From the moment you arrive, the setting invites you to slow down and breathe deeply. Step onto the expansive deck in the morning with a warm cup of coffee and watch the first light spill over the peaks. In the evenings, gather with friends and family as the sky turns brilliant shades of orange and pink while the sun dips behind the mountains — a daily reminder of why people dream of living here. The home itself is warm, welcoming, and designed with both function and efficiency in mind. Offering 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it is spacious enough for family and guests, yet intimate enough to feel like a true retreat. Sunlight pours through large windows, framing picture-perfect views from nearly every room. The thoughtful details elevate the living experience — from in-floor radiant heating that keeps the home cozy in winter, to smart-home remote security, surround-sound built-in speakers, and energy-efficient appliances. Every modern amenity is in place, making this a turn-key property that is not only well-appointed, but also fully furnished and ready to be enjoyed. This residence has proven itself as a versatile mountain home — ideal for full-time living, a second home escape, or as a successful short-term rental with a history of income. Its location is unbeatable: minutes from Ridgway’s art galleries, restaurants, and Ouray's hot springs, and less than 45 minutes to Telluride, where world-class skiing and year-round festivals await. Outdoor recreation is at your doorstep, with opportunities for hiking, biking, ice climbing, snowmobiling, and exploring the countless trails and natural wonders of the region. Life here is about balance. It’s mornings filled with crisp mountain air, afternoons spent adventuring, and evenings gathered on the deck beneath a canopy of stars. It’s privacy without isolation — a place where you can recharge while still being close to all the culture, community, and recreation that make southwest Colorado one of the most desirable places to live. This is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and an opportunity to own a piece of the San Juans. Whether you are seeking a full-time mountain residence or a getaway that pays for itself when you’re away, this property is ready to welcome you home.
