About This Home
Discover one of the most extraordinary view properties in all of Western Colorado—a true legacy estate that commands the full panorama of the Sneffels Range, the Cimarrons, and the iconic rolling expanse of Ralph Lauren’s Ranch. Positioned just 15 minutes south of Ridgway along the coveted County Road 5 recreation corridor, this exceptional 35-acre property offers unmatched privacy, prestige, and year-round access to the region’s world-class outdoor lifestyle. Thoughtfully carved along the crest of a natural rise, the property stretches east to west, capturing sunrise and sunset vistas that define luxury mountain living. The primary residence is an architectural showpiece, anchored by massive stonework and curated landscaping that seamlessly integrate the home with its dramatic setting. With more than 6,500 total square feet, the estate includes a beautifully finished main residence and an impressive shop with guest-ready quarters. Designed for both elegance and comfort, the main level features two serene bedrooms, refined bathrooms, and an expansive great room with a wood-burning stove and floor-to-ceiling sliders. These open to more than 1,400 square feet of covered patios and decks, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor experience framed by iconic Colorado scenery. An oversized, attached garage accommodates large trucks, ATVs, and adventure gear with ease. The fully framed and insulated walkout level offers tremendous flexibility, ready to be finished into additional bedrooms, baths, or recreation areas. The show-stopping feature is the immense west-facing entertainment room—an unrivaled gathering space with a wood-burning stove and panoramic views. Clear doors along the sides open completely for a breezy open-air pavilion or close to create a heated, all-season retreat. Whether hosting celebrations, setting up hammocks, reading by the fire, or enjoying sunset dinners, this is arguably one of the most scenic rooms in Colorado. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate that the property provides direct access to the exclusive Wilson Mesa recreation system and the private winter trail network. Adjacent recreational trails invite snowshoeing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and year-round backcountry exploring. The massive shop building on the west side is ideal for an ADU, workshop, gear storage, or a luxury toy barn for snowmobiles, side-by-sides, or even a Snowcat. (A Snowcat previously used to groom the trails is available separately.) This is a rare opportunity to own the preeminent view property in Ouray County—a sanctuary where mountain beauty, privacy, recreation, and architectural excellence converge. Come experience a place where you can truly celebrate Colorado and share an unparalleled mountain lifestyle with the people you love. Schedule your private showing today.
