The view alone is worth the drive. Set in Pleasant Valley just minutes from Ridgway, this home captures the quiet power of the San Juans--where open space, expansive skies, and unobstructed views of the Sneffels and Cimarron Ranges define the experience. The approach is understated. A pastoral road, rolling landscape, and a sense of arrival that feels both grounded and removed. It is here that the pace shifts. Designed for effortless living, the home offers a true main-level layout with primary suite, living, kitchen, and laundry all on one level. Interiors are intentionally simple and refined, allowing the landscape to lead. Generously sized windows frame the mountains with precision, bringing light and scale into every space. The kitchen is both functional and elevated, appointed with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a generous island, and clean lines that complement the natural surroundings. Motorized Hunter Douglas sheer blinds provide subtle control without interrupting the view. A private guest suite occupies the lower level, offering separation and comfort for visitors. An elevator shaft has been framed for future installation, adding a layer of long-term flexibility. The oversized two-car garage is equally considered; with both heat and A/C, electric available for charging vehicles and space for both vehicles and gear. Outdoors, native grasses and wildflowers create a setting that feels organic and unforced. A Rain-Bird pressure regulated automated drip irrigation system ensures the low-maintenance landscaping remains as easy to care for as it is to enjoy. Pleasant Valley is one of the region's most desirable settings--close to Ridgway, yet distinctly removed. Telluride, Ouray, and the surrounding San Juan Mountain region are all within easy reach. The value here is notable. Replacement cost is estimated to exceed the current list price by $1M+, offering a rare opportunity to acquire quality, design, and setting well below the cost to recreate. A considered home. A remarkable setting. An opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find.
