Description

A rare opportunity to create a custom ski-in/ski-out home on 5+ slope-side acres, among the last large estate parcels in Telluride with direct ski access. Gently rolling terrain is bordered on two sides by U.S. Forest Service lands, imparting a private ''cabin in the woods'' feel beneath a canopy of mature spruce and fir. The existing structure has been stripped back, offering a blank canvas for a discerning vision to craft a substantial alpine estate or a charming mountain hideaway. A winding drive...A rare opportunity to create a custom ski-in/ski-out home on 5+ slope-side acres, among the last large estate parcels in Telluride with direct ski access. Gently rolling terrain is bordered on two sides by U.S. Forest Service lands, imparting a private ''cabin in the woods'' feel beneath a canopy of mature spruce and fir. The existing structure has been stripped back, offering a blank canvas for a discerning vision to craft a substantial alpine estate or a charming mountain hideaway. A winding drive weaves through the forest, opening to a park-like clearing along the groomed Galloping Goose Ski Trail with expansive views toward the San Sophia ridgeline. Surrounded by vast public lands and some of the largest estates in Mountain Village, this property offers pedigree and seclusion.
