With a viewscape and a setting that inspired one of the most successful ad campaigns in history, this 3-bed/3-bath cabin provides the perfect respite from the hectic life, where one can truly disconnect and focus on the things that matter most. Over 39 acres, with an end of the road location, providing solitude and privacy. South-facing, open living spaces are framed by view-filled glass and warmed by the wood-burning fireplace. Extensive decks and patios and a 2-car garage with workshop. Swedish Cope log construction. The views stretch from Mount Sneffels to the La Sals in Utah, with the bucolic pastureland of Hastings Mesa in between. Off-grid living less than 30 miles from Telluride, 15 miles from Ridgway, ready for its next owner to get busy creating their own life-long memories.
