101 Shadow Lane is a rare find. This nearly 12-acre property is all about the spectacular views, the privacy, and the close proximity to downtown Ridgway. Few properties in the area offer such breathtaking views, and the absence of covenants allows you to build your dream home in Ridgway. It’s also conveniently located to Ouray, Telluride, and major shopping and medical facilities in Montrose. Coming up the gently-sloping driveway through piñon and juniper, you arrive at a stunning view as the nearly-cleared building site opens up. The spectacular, unobstructed view stretches over 180 degrees from the rugged Cimarron Range in the east, past Ridgway and Mt. Abrams above Ouray, across the San Juan range with Mt. Sneffels in the middle, all the way to Horsefly Mesa in the west. The view to the mountains looks out across fields where a large herd of elk often graze. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets turn the mountains rosy and light up the wide skies. There’s ample space to construct your ideal home here to take advantage of the views. Located on the southern side of Loghill Mesa, the property gets sun at different angles all day long, so winter snows are mild and melt quickly compared to properties that do not face the south. As a result, the temperature is slightly warmer in winter than down in town. Once leaving your private acreage, you’re only 5 minutes from beautiful downtown Ridgway. It’s private, country-style living close to town. Wildlife including deer, elk, and a variety of birds move through the property. Colorful summer flowers abound with exquisite mountain-ball & numerous scarlet claret-cup cactus adorning lichen-covered rocks. Power, Tri-County Water, and a natural gas connection are all close to the build site, as is a fire hydrant. An additional available option are the engineered plans for a custom, architect-designed dream log home sitting above an oversized 3.5 car garage, with theater, gym, optional home elevator, and additional rooms in the expansive loft space. This could be a home for a large family, or a place where all of your friends can gather for summer hiking, fishing, or watersports, leaf-peeping in the autumn, and skiing in the winter. You’ll never get tired of the outstanding views! Please contact agent for details on the log home package. Sold separately.
