Perfectly positioned on one of the most desirable one-acre parcels, the home captures breathtaking southern views of Ouray, Mount Abram, and the surrounding peaks, with hand-scraped log beams, tongue-and-groove ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and expansive covered decks that create over 1,200 square feet of year-round outdoor living space. The gourmet kitchen, custom cabinetry, and open-concept great room are ideal for entertaining while enjoying panoramic lake and mountain views, while the primary suite and guest rooms offer comfort and privacy for family and friends. Additional space includes a 900-square-foot lower-level unfinished but heated room—ideal for a game room, workshop, or extra bedrooms—and a spacious west-facing garage perfect for gear and Colorado projects. Ownership here is more than just a home: it includes 10% shared ownership of Black Lake and its surrounding 100 acres, a conservation-style community that protects the beauty of the San Juans while offering a rare lifestyle of boating, hiking, wildlife watching, and true alpine serenity. Just minutes from Ouray, Ridgway, and a scenic drive to world-class skiing in Telluride, this exceptional Colorado log-style retreat is a dream for those who love the mountains, adventure, and the authentic Rocky Mountain lifestyle.
