Region & Climate
The San Juan Mountains that bring the views to Colorado's Western Slope house the historic Victorian mining town of Telluride, which is nestled in a box canyon at 8,750 feet in elevation surrounded by steep forested mountains and cliffs that enhance its natural beauty. In addition to earning a world-class reputation as an alpine ski resort with a gondola that arcs over the ski slopes to Mountain Village, it is also a golfing destination and an angler's paradise, thanks to ample trout streams and a variety of lakes, ponds and alpine creeks. The city features a historic district and hosts popular art, music and wine festivals, but it is worth a visit for the restaurants and shops alone. Other notable towns in the region include the previously mentioned Ouray and Ridgway to the north, Silverton in the middle, Lake City and Creede to the East, and Durango and Pagosa Springs to the south.
Humidity in the region is low because of the dry air and high elevation. Summer days average in the 70s and, while snow can last from late October until early June, temperatures are generally mild.
History
For some trivia, the first bank that legendary outlaw Butch Cassidy robbed was the San Miguel Valley Bank of Telluride in 1889.
Location
Conveniently located just nine miles up Last Dollar Road off Hwy. 62 at Dallas Divide, which passes through the center of the property for convenience, the parcel is less than 11 miles from Hwy. 145 at the edge of Telluride, under 10 miles from the Telluride airport and only 1.5 hours from the larger and recently expanded Montrose/Telluride airport that is served by four major airlines.

San Miguel County - Telluride, CO
Homewood Ranch embodies rarity and the inability to be replicated. It is an understatement to express what an incredibly rare opportunity it is when a property like this is presented to the market. This ranch has been owned, managed, and operated by the same family since 1949, when Telluride was undeveloped and largely undiscovered, contrasted today by transforming itself into an exceedingly sought-after world-class destination.
The land is pristine and it offers something that is hard to put into words or artfully express in writing. When standing upon this property and taking in the truly commanding and all-encompassing views, perhaps rivaling nearly anywhere else on Earth; there is a subtle stirring of emotion that starts to occur as one starts to embrace and understand what this property truly has to offer. An investment in a land asset class is significant for many reasons and as any seasoned, discerning, and savvy investor knows, there must be criteria that has to be met. Some of the most important are of course; location, proximity, accessibility, privacy, exit strategies, physical features of the land, and perhaps most importantly is the inability to be replicated. Homewood Ranch is unequivocally the last and largest single piece of deeded land as close to Telluride as there will ever be.
Located at the end of a year-round county-maintained road, the property is a diverse combination of varying topography, ranging from gently rolling open pastures traversing into numerous knolls and hills, punctuated by a large mesa, known as Diamond Hill, which is the highest point on the property. The land is comprised of a combination of native grasslands, seasonal drainages, and interspersed pockets of heavy timber, while presenting views simultaneously in all directions. The pockets of timber are predominately northern facing, while the native grass lands are exposed to the sunshine on southern facing slopes. Migratory wildlife populations have been sheltered by meticulous stewardship practices and management by the owners, while the land has served as a safe haven for over 50 years.
This property presents so many multi-dimensional opportunities, it is currently not encumbered by a conservation easement, offers possible development potential, long-term investment, inflationary hedge, the opportunity to build to suit, multi-generational, family safety, emotional well-being, and virtually unlimited recreational considerations on and off the ranch. In summary, the Homewood Ranch is like a piece of fine art, collectible, intrinsic, distinct, and a smart investment.
