Wake up to the San Juan Mountains with a private 17-acre lake just outside your door. Set on a private one-acre parcel within Ridgway's coveted Black Lake community, this mountain retreat offers access to nearly 100 acres of shared open space, trails and adjoining public lands--creating a rare combination of water, mountains, privacy and year-round recreation between Ridgway and Ouray. The setting is exceptional. Black Lake provides a spectacular centerpiece for the community and opportunities to fish, kayak and paddleboard, while the surrounding open space invites hiking, biking and exploring directly from home. Perched among mature pines above the lake, the residence enjoys expansive views across the valley and toward the surrounding San Juan peaks. Inside, classic Colorado mountain architecture takes center stage. Soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed log beams and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchor the main living area, while walls of windows fill the home with natural light and frame the landscape beyond. The adjoining kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops and generous workspace for entertaining and everyday living. Two suites on the main level provide privacy and flexibility, including one with a vaulted, glass-lined sitting room and wet bar. The lower level offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath and laundry, while the spacious upper loft creates an ideal office, media room, bunk room or additional gathering space. An oversized two-car garage provides ample room for vehicles and mountain gear. Outdoor living is woven throughout the home, with multiple covered decks and gathering areas offering places to enjoy morning coffee, summer evenings and the changing seasons among the pines. Beyond the residence, ownership provides access to the extraordinary Black Lake property--nearly 100 acres of shared open space centered around the private 17-acre lake. It is an increasingly rare opportunity to enjoy water recreation, protected open space and immediate access to the outdoors from your own neighborhood. Located along scenic County Road 17 between Ridgway and Ouray, the home feels wonderfully secluded while remaining convenient to both communities. Bike from your doorstep, explore the San Juan Mountains, soak in the Ouray Hot Springs, enjoy Ridgway's restaurants and shops, or head to Telluride for world-class skiing and recreation. At 2874 County Road 17, the lake isn't somewhere you drive to and the mountains aren't simply a view--they're part of everyday life.
