Todd R Schroedel, United Country Sneffels Realty, C: 970-318-2160, todd@sneffelsrealty.com, http://www.toddssneffelsrealty.com: Welcome to an extraordinary off-grid mountain retreat unlike anything else in Ouray County a rugged-yet-luxurious 4,696 sq ft cabin set on 26 pristine alpine acres in the heart of Colorado s iconic Red Mountain region. Perfectly situated between the adventure towns of Ouray and Silverton and just south of the historic Ironton townsite, this high-country haven is surrounded by towering peaks, alpine trails, and world-class jeeping routes. Designed to honor the area's rich mining history and natural beauty, the home features industrial-chic architecture with exposed steel beams, rusted corrugated metal, cedar siding, and masterful stonework all set amongst your own private National Park-like views. With a total of 7,532 sq ft under roof, including a 680 sq ft garage and 2,156 sq ft of covered decking, the cabin is built for both solitude and social gatherings. Inside, you'll find 5 bedrooms along with a generously sized office, craft room, workout room, and storage room each of which could become additional sleeping spaces. There are 6 full bathrooms strategically situated to meet everyone s needs. A premier feature is its soaring great room with native aspen paneling, dual fireplaces, and a chef s kitchen outfitted with granite countertops and high-end stainless appliances. A loft and lower-level family room offer additional space for friends and family to unwind after a day in the mountains. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with its own fireplace, a spa-like bath with jetted tub, travertine shower, and dual granite vanities. Completely off-grid and eco-conscious, the home runs on a state-of-the-art hydroelectric system powered by a year-round creek, and an advanced solar energy setup with battery backup plus a propane generator that s rarely needed. The property spans three historic mining claims Emma, Joker, and Joker #2 and includes a private bridge over Red Mountain Creek, the iconic Joker Boardinghouse, and even a custom-built observatory offering unrivaled stargazing under some of Colorado s darkest skies. Located just a short 20-minute drive to Ouray, as well as easy year-round access to Ridgway, Telluride, and Silverton on county-maintained roads, this is an adventurer s dream with direct access to hiking, backcountry and heli-skiing, overland jeep trails, mountaineering routes, hot springs, and endless photo ops. Accessible year-round with plowed roads nearly to your doorstep, this rare alpine estate is your basecamp for unforgettable mountain living. Whether you're a skier, hiker, climber, jeeper, or stargazer whether this will be your year-round home where you operate your business endeavors or a seasonal escape from heat and humidity you ve finally found the Colorado cabin you ve been searching for.
