The best views in the county? Without a doubt! This private and hidden gem of rare land sits high along a ridge with unbelievable views in all directions. About half of this parcel is protected by a healthy pinon & juniper forest (where you can disappear out of view from the world) on a gently sloping hillside that faces southeast for the optimal passive-solar orientation of your custom home. To frame a spectacular view from your home’s ground level, just clear a few trees … or build a second story perched above the treetops to immerse yourself in 360-degree endless views of Southwest Colorado … including the Sneffels and Cimarron mountain ranges to the south and east, the Uncompahgre Plateau and brilliant sunsets to the west, the Grand Mesa in the northern distance, and to the northeast your view will be of adjacent adobe undulating land-formations that boast sublime colors reminiscent of a Georgia O'keefe painting. If you’re ready to retreat from the madness of the world, this is your spot. Surrounded on three sides by 600,000 acres of BLM land - hiking, mountain biking, 4-wheeling, dirt biking, hunting, you name it. And at night … you’ve never seen stars this big and bright! Located just a 15-minute drive from both Ridgway and Montrose (where the airport is) and only a one-hour drive to Telluride with its world-class winter skiing and world-renowned summer music festivals … you’ll enjoy premium privacy, quick convenience and ultimate adventure on this rare parcel of spectacular land. Owner financing available to qualified buyers.
