About this property
Cozy Ranch House - Elk and Wildlife Preserve Southwest Co
Property views Mt Hayden, Mt Sneffels, and much of the Sneffels Range south and Cimarron Range east.  Located 11 miles west of Ridgway at 9,100 feet on Hastings Mesa .  Situated on 85 acres as the northernmost building on the Lakota S Ranch.   Former ranch manager’s home, remodeled  with new kitchen and bathrooms.  Private setting adjacent to the 105 acre Black Canyon Land Trust Elk Preserve.  
A well-maintained one mile long gravel driveway takes you to the famous scenic Last Dollar Road /CR58P; one mile on Last Dollar Road puts you on the all weather Skyway Scenic Byway [State Hwy 62] to Telluride [ 35 minute drive], Ridgway [15 minute drive], Ouray [35 minute drive].
Wildlife - elk, deer, hawks, eagles, grouse and turkey. NO HUNTING on the property.
Close to hiking trails, 4-Wheel Drive jeep trails, and mountain bike trails.
Views of Mt. Hayden and North Pole Peak and much of the Sneffels Range due South and Cimarron Range to the East. Ralph Lauren's Double RL Ranch is directly east of the property. True Grit Ranch [John Wayne movie fame] is one mile west; Marlboro Photo shoots done on the Last Dollar Ranch directly across from the driveway end. National Forest and Wilderness very near, south of the ranch. Ridgway Reservoir is a few miles north of Ridgway – great boating and water sports.
Girls’ Getaway. Romantic Holiday.
Dark Sky Community - wonderful night sky observation with your telescope or naked eye. See darksky.org/ridgway for information.
