San Juan Horizon House

Perched above the sweeping valleys of Ridgway with cinematic views toward the Sneffels Range and Cimarron Peaks, this exquisitely crafted 2,646 sq. ft. residence delivers an elevated mountain-living experience seldom replicated in the region. Designed in 2013 by some of the area’s most respected architects and artisans, the home blends timeless materials with contemporary comfort, creating a sanctuary where the landscapes of Ouray, Ridgway, and Telluride feel like an extension of everyday life. Its thoughtful orientation maximizes natural light and horizon lines, allowing each room to capture the drama of the San Juan Mountains.

On the main level, an expansive great room anchors the home with wide-plank solid oak flooring, blue pine trim, and a statement stone-hearth fireplace that immediately conveys warmth and permanence. The kitchen is a true showcase, positioned intentionally to frame the mountain views, featuring custom worm-wood maple cabinetry, Thermador appliances, and striking granite countertops. A dining area and lounge spaces flow seamlessly to the outdoors, while the primary suite and a refined private bath complete the main level with understated luxury. A half bath and laundry room add everyday ease.

Three separate access points extend the living experience onto an oversized deck that wraps the home in open-air grandeur. From here, sunrise and sunset cast dramatic shadows across the Sneffels Range, Ridgway Valley, and the distant Cimarrons, turning the deck into an all-season retreat. Whether hosting gatherings or savoring a quiet morning, this vantage point elevates the property’s sense of connection to its surrounding wilderness.

The lower level serves as a private guest sanctuary with two additional bedrooms and an entertainment lounge featuring a wet bar and a wood-burning stove. Each space opens to sheltered concrete patios, creating semi-private outdoor zones where guests can relax beneath the protection of the deck above. This layout seamlessly blends hospitality with privacy, making the property ideal for hosting friends and extended family.

Set on a pristine 43-acre parcel adjacent to the prestigious Park Estates Subdivision, yet not part of the community, the home enjoys both exclusivity and freedom. Well-maintained year-round roads ensure easy access, while the vast acreage provides serenity, wildlife viewing, and an authentic Colorado mountain experience that feels worlds away yet remains close to the region’s iconic destinations.
