Government Springs Homestead

Description

The Government Springs Homestead ranch is 221+/- acres full of beauty, accessibility, and history - one of the finest and well-located mountain home properties in the Montrose/Telluride area. The Government Springs Homestead is masterfully carved out of the Preserve at Government Springs Ranch. It is bordered on the west by National Forest land and a year-round tributary of Delores Creek. Herds of Rocky Mt. Elk & Mule Deer, Shiras Moose, turkey, bear, and mountain lion roam the understory, while huge views of the snowcapped peaks of the San Juan, Cimarron, and West Elk mountains tower across the horizon. This property features rolling topography, strong year-round springs, Delores Creek & small ponds, along with recent brush thinning fire mitigation treatment. Ancient large Ponderosa trees make up most of the forested areas, with few Pinion, Juniper and oak brush scattered in the lush grass filled draws, small Aspen glades and large grass meadows. The ranch is accessed year-round via paved county road, and internally over private graveled and gated roads. This property has a 1,200+/- sq/ft 4-bedroom 1 bath, rustic cabin. A perfect fall hunting cabin, a guest home, or just a place to refresh and enjoy the beauty of the mountain. Government Springs Homestead also boasts multiple home sites that are questionably some of the best in all of Colorado. The ranch adjoins the Cornerstone Club, a Greg Norman 18-hole Golf Course, and has direct access to power and natural gas. Under an hour to the slopes of Telluride, Ice climbing in Ouray, and less than 30 minutes to Montrose Regional Airport. The Airport has direct flights, with flights from Boston, Denver, Dallas, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Phoenix, New York, San Francisco, and Charlotte to make traveling simple. The Government Springs Homestead is a legacy ranch in the heart of Western Colorado. As an investment, family retreat, or favorite season get-away, The Government Springs Homestead is above and beyond the finest lands Colorado has to offer.
