Perched atop the edge of the escarpment in the Peninsula subdivision, this remarkable 35-acre parcel offers arguably one of the most private settings and most expansive view corridors in the entire peninsula community. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property feels like your own private sanctuary in the heart of the San Juan Mountains. Views are expansive stretching from Lone Cone across to Little Cone and Dolores Peak, to the San Miguel River Valley, to the Telluride Box Canyon, to Mears Peak, North Pole Peak, and beyond. To the west, unforgettable sunsets paint the sky in brilliant color, creating a spectacular backdrop year-round. The land is forested with mature ponderosa pines, aspens, Douglas firs, and Gambel oak, while vibrant wildflowers blanket the landscape throughout the summer months. There are multiple flat and easily buildable homesites to choose from to design your ideal mountain retreat. Peaceful, tranquil, and immersed in nature, this property captures everything that makes the San Juans so extraordinary while remaining conveniently located just 40 minutes from Telluride, Ridgway, and Norwood--making it the perfect basecamp for skiing, hiking, biking, fishing, and exploring everything the region has to offer. Adding to its appeal, the property lies just outside the San Miguel County housing mitigation fee boundary, offering future owners a significant financial advantage by saving tens of thousands of dollars in initial building costs with the county. Rarely does a parcel combine this level of privacy, scenery, convenience, and long-term value. This is a truly exceptional opportunity to own one of the Peninsula's finest homesites. A generously sized view deck is already in place, allowing you to begin enjoying the property and its spectacular scenery immediately while planning your future mountain home.
Big Telluride views without the big Telluride price tag! Situated in the aptly-named Peninsula neighborhood on Specie Mesa, this 35-acre parcel is located at the end of a cul-de-sac and is adjacent to BLM land, making it a year-round accessible private retreat only 40 minutes to Telluride. Unlike many other lots nearby, its prime location has 360-degree views that span from the La Sals in Utah all the way to Ingram Falls in Telluride - and everything in between. The lot is graced with wildflowers in the summer, as well as ponderosa pine, aspen and fir, with two potential home sites for your ideal mountain escape. Come kick back in the hammock and experience it yourself - you'll never need to see a sunset anywhere else ever again.
