If you’re looking to get your hands on some gorgeous mountain real estate, Elk Mountain Resort, a massive, stunning resort tucked in the San Juan Mountains between Telluride and Montrose, is currently up for grabs.
Sitting on nearly 226 deeded acres in Western Colorado, the resort is surrounded by the Uncompahgre, Grand Mesa, and Gunnison National Forests. That positioning puts the owner adjacent to roughly 3 million acres of public backcountry, with immediate access to hiking, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and winter recreation.
At the center of the property is a full-service lodge with a commercial kitchen, restaurant, lounge areas, and a grand ballroom designed for weddings and corporate events. A wedding chapel sits on the grounds alongside a tasting room carved from a historic mine shaft. Spa facilities and gathering areas round out the experience.
Accommodations include 19 three-bedroom cabins and 21 one-bedroom lodge rooms, built to handle large groups without sacrificing the privacy that defines the place.
A private lake, shooting range, tennis courts, rock climbing wall, horse barn, volleyball court, gym, and sauna are all on site. Operational infrastructure includes a Wagner CAT generator, diesel fire pump, waste treatment system, and a helicopter landing area, meaning the property runs independently in a remote mountain setting.
The asking price is $19,900,000. At roughly 22 miles from Montrose and 35 miles from Telluride, commercial air service and world-class skiing are both easily within reach. Ouray and its famous hot springs are also nearby.
