This 88-acre parcel occupies the high ground, both literally and figuratively, from its aspen blanketed landscape at the summit of Spruce Mountain Ranch. Awe inspiring views extend from the Cimarron in the east to a front row seat to the entire Sneffels Range to the south, with large ranch holdings and the bucolic Pleasant Valley nestled below. The forest is dominated by aspen, with growth of all ages, where the elk and the other creatures have essentially been utilizing it for eons as their own wildlife preserve. Archery hunting by owners on their private land is allowed within the neighborhood. Just 45 minutes to the resort community of Telluride and only 30 minutes to burgeoning Ridgway. Unique among its peers due to its size, its views, and the beauty of the land.
