Mountain Retreat on Trout Pond Near Telluride

Situated on Hastings Mesa 25 minutes from Telluride at an elevation of about 9,000 feet, the 52 acre property is rimmed by mountains in the distance with views of North Pole Peak, and Hayden Mountain. From the patio, view Elk and wild turkey as they roam the old growth aspen forest, sage fields and scrub oak.

On the other side of the pond, a trail climbs up for 1.5 miles to the properties highest point. There hikers are able to take in views of some of the regions most beloved landmarks. The home itself, though only 1,100 square feet, feels spacious and warm. Perfect property for dogs, we encourage you to bring them to enjoy on hikes throughout the mesa. An amazing alpine greenhouse provide a large assortment of fresh vegetables including lettuce, kale, peppers, tomatoes, artichokes,figs and an assortment of herbs to be used by our guests.
