This beautifully remodeled mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of luxury, adventure, and water access, located on a private 1-acre parcel between Ridgway and Ouray in the exclusive Black Lake community—just a short drive from Telluride. With nearly 100 acres of shared open space including a private lake, parks, trails, and direct access to public lands, this property is a dream for outdoor lovers who crave year-round recreation like hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Set just off scenic County Road 17—a favorite route for cyclists and hikers—the home is accessed through a gated entrance and a stained concrete drive that leads to a knoll-top setting with stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains and valley. Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed for comfort and connection, featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, rustic log accents, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and high-end appliances. Two main-level suites include spa-style bathrooms and private outdoor access, with one offering a vaulted glassed-in sitting room and wet bar—ideal as a master or luxury guest space. The lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and a walk-out to the oversized two-car garage, while the spacious loft provides a flexible area for an office, playroom, or media space with access to a covered deck overlooking the forest and peaks. Four separate outdoor living areas allow you to enjoy the changing seasons in comfort and privacy. Ownership includes full access to the Black Lake estate and its extensive conservation easement, which keeps property taxes low and ensures protected beauty for generations. With modest annual dues covering professional maintenance of the lake and grounds, you’ll enjoy peace of mind along with unmatched natural amenities. Whether you’re skiing in Telluride, soaking in the Ouray Hot Springs, biking Ridgway’s scenic roads, or simply relaxing on your deck by the lake, this exceptional home places you in the heart of Colorado’s most iconic mountain lifestyle.
