About This Home
Welcome to an extraordinary off-grid mountain retreat unlike anything else in Ouray County—a rugged-yet-luxurious 4,696 sq ft cabin set on 26 pristine alpine acres in the heart of Colorado’s iconic Red Mountain region. Perfectly situated between the adventure towns of Ouray and Silverton and just south of the historic Ironton townsite, this high-country haven is surrounded by towering peaks, alpine trails, and world-class jeeping routes. Designed to honor the area's rich mining history and natural beauty, the home features industrial-chic architecture with exposed steel beams, rusted corrugated metal, cedar siding, and masterful stonework. With a total of 7,532 sq ft under roof, including a 680 sq ft garage and 2,156 sq ft of covered decking, the cabin is built for both solitude and social gatherings. Inside, you'll find 5 bedrooms along with a generously sized office, craft room, workout room, and storage room—each of which could become additional sleeping spaces. There are 6 full bathrooms strategically situated to meet everyone’s needs. A premier feature is its soaring great room with native aspen paneling, dual fireplaces, and a chef’s kitchen outfitted with granite countertops and high-end stainless appliances. A loft and lower-level family room offer additional space for friends and family to unwind after a day in the mountains. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with its own fireplace, a spa-like bath with jetted tub, travertine shower, and dual granite vanities. Completely off-grid and eco-conscious, the home runs on a state-of-the-art hydroelectric system powered by a year-round creek, and an advanced solar energy setup with battery backup—plus a propane generator that’s rarely needed. The property spans three historic mining claims—Emma, Joker, and Joker #2—and includes a private bridge over Red Mountain Creek, the iconic Joker Boardinghouse, and even a custom-built observatory offering unrivaled stargazing under some of Colorado’s darkest skies. Located just a short 20-minute drive to Ouray, as well as easy year-round access to Ridgway, Telluride, and Silverton on county-maintained roads, this is an adventurer’s dream with direct access to hiking, backcountry and heli-skiing, overland jeep trails, mountaineering routes, hot springs, and endless photo ops. Accessible year-round with plowed roads nearly to your doorstep, this rare alpine estate is your basecamp for unforgettable mountain living. Whether you're a skier, hiker, climber, jeeper, or stargazer—whether this will be your year-round home where you operate your business endeavors or a seasonal escape from heat and humidity—you’ve finally found the Colorado cabin you’ve been searching for.
