Bordering BLM land with direct trail access, this custom mountain retreat on 3.48 private acres delivers the privacy, recreation, and sweeping views of the Mount Sneffels Range that buyers come to the San Juans to find. Built in 2009, the residence blends wood, masonry, and distressed metal into a timeless mountain aesthetic — rugged, refined, and intentional in every detail. Expansive windows frame unobstructed views of the Mount Sneffels Range and surrounding peaks, while a wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living area and in-floor propane radiant heat runs throughout for year-round comfort. Three bedrooms and two full baths are thoughtfully distributed across two levels. The primary suite occupies the main level alongside the home's primary living spaces. The fully finished walkout lower level offers two guest bedrooms, a full bath, and a generous recreation area — private and flexible for family and visitors. Total finished space: 1,495 SF on the main level plus 759 SF on the lower level, with a finished basement garage. The 452-square-foot deck is a front-row seat to some of the most spectacular scenery in Southwest Colorado — morning light on the peaks, alpenglow at sunset, and Colorado's dark, star-filled skies after dark. Miles of BLM trail access begin at your doorstep. Downtown Ridgway is 15 minutes away. Offered at $1.495M ($663 per square foot), 456 Ridge Road presents a rare opportunity to own a custom mountain home with direct BLM access, extraordinary Mount Sneffels views, and 3.48 private acres just outside Ridgway
