Telluride Ranch Properties

Telluride’s ranch properties over 35 acres offer expansive, private retreats in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, blending vast landscapes with proximity to the region’s world-class amenities. These properties, scattered across mesas like Hastings, Specie, and Wilson, feature diverse terrain—rolling meadows, aspen groves, ponderosa pines, and creeks—perfect for buyers seeking solitude, recreation, and investment potential. Ranging from 35 to over 1,500 acres, these ranches provide opportunities for equestrian estates, hunting retreats, or conservation projects, with many bordering National Forest or BLM land for unparalleled access to hiking, biking, horseback riding, and skiing. Properties like Telluride Renegade Ranch (602 acres) and Ruffner Peak Ranch (over 600 acres) boast 360-degree views of 14,000-foot peaks, ideal for crafting a legacy estate or leveraging conservation easements for tax benefits. These ranches, often 15-35 minutes from Telluride’s ski resort and vibrant downtown, combine seclusion with connectivity. For instance, Yalgo Ranch (1,429 acres) on Specie Mesa offers 2.25 miles of public land adjacency, live water from Fall Creek, and elevations from 8,000 to 10,000 feet, supporting hunting, fishing, and year-round recreation. Current listings, like a 200-acre parcel on Specie Mesa with Specie Creek frontage, start at $3.2 million, while others, like Homewood Ranch (2,024 acres), reach $36 million, reflecting the range of luxury and scale. These large-acreage properties are a rare chance to own a piece of Telluride’s untamed wilderness with limitless potential.
