Whether you're dreaming of building a luxurious mountain retreat, a full-time residence, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this homesite offers one of the finest foundations available anywhere in the Ridgway, Ouray, and Telluride region. What truly distinguishes this property is the tremendous amount of time, expertise, and investment the current owners have already contributed.

This 2.5 acre parcel is situated in Spud Hill Ranch, a very special enclave of homesites positioned around the unique landform known as Spud Hill.

Wildlife abound, and an irrigation ditch runs along the north side of the property, adding a naturally beautiful feature along with the sounds of moving water.

Here sits a nicely treed lot with almost two acres, a nice two car detached garage, some nice trees and a cute little mobile home. This is a pretty uncommon in Ouray County. Most small acreages are in subdivisions with covenants and restrictions. This one is NOT in an HOA. The home has City of Ouray water and sewer services, San Miguel Power and propane gas. The access is easy with a circular drive from one end of the property to the other. The trees are established and remind me of a park like setting. The mobile home is a 1992 model with two bedrooms and two baths. It has a nice sized kitchen, living room and bedrooms. The roof is shingled and has a nice pitch on it for the snow to shed. This property feels a little tucked away in the trees with the red cliffs behind it. It's pretty neat. Come see it for yourself.
