Stunning Hastings Mesa Wilderness Retreat  Discover your dream escape amidst the breathtaking natural beauty of the San Juan Mountains. Located equidistant to both Telluride and Ridgway via a 35-minute awe-inspiring drive along the top of Hastings Mesa, this 40-acre parcel is a nature-lover’s dream. Sitting atop (and fully encompassing) all aspects of a prominent knoll, the 360 degree panoramic views on this observatory-like parcel are unmatched. Enjoy a hot coffee as you watch the sunrise over the rugged Sneffels Range, which appears so close that you could touch it. Or maybe you’d prefer a cold beverage at sunset, watching the alpenglow dance on the Sneffels and Wilsons as the sun dips into the La Sal Mountains to your west. The bio-diversity found among the varying aspects and topography within this unspoiled parcel is remarkable. The elk have been hard at work installing miles of trails that are ready for your exploration! The current owner did all the hard work on multiple camping trips; identifying the ideal building site, and designing and engineering the most ideal route for the access road. The road-building project is fully permitted through the County and ready for construction, but life got in the way. Most County roads to access the property are closed January to May, so get out your skis or snowmobile for winter access. This is your chance to own a slice of heaven, offering endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. Whether you're an avid photographer, hiker, or simply yearn for tranquility and privacy, this property offers the perfect canvas to realize your mountain living dreams.
