Description
Telluride Mesa Ranch encompasses approximately 2,080± deeded acres on Beaver Mesa, just 45± minutes from Telluride Mountain Village. With panoramic views of the San Juan Mountains-including Little Cone and the Telluride ski area-this property offers an exceptional blend of recreational appeal, productive grazing ground, and long-term investment value. Located in GMU 70, the ranch supports high-quality big game hunting with over-the-counter elk tags for residents and landowner mule deer vouchers. The property has a history of producing trophy bulls in the 300-350" range, and large migratory herds of elk numbering in the hundreds are regularly seen on the land. Six registered ponds and senior water rights out of the J&M Hughes Ditch provide seasonal irrigation and enhance wildlife habitat. The ranch has historically supported ±300 pairs for four months annually and includes functional infrastructure such as pipe corrals, working pens, and an internal road system. A 1,408± square foot three-bedroom, two-bath cabin with spring-fed water serves as a basecamp or residence. The property is protected by a Cattlemen's Association conservation easement, with three approved building envelopes offering development flexibility for residences or guest lodges. Additionally, 40± acres lie outside the easement entirely, providing further options. With year-round access and just 3± miles away and proximity to skiing, dining, and air service in Telluride, Telluride Mesa Ranch offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and access in one of Colorado's most iconic landscapes. The eastern 700± acres of Telluride Mesa Ranch-including approximately 40± acres that are not subject to the existing conservation easement-are being offered separately at a listing price of $3,500,000.
