ELK SPRINGS RANCH

Colorado, Montezuma County, Mancos

ELK SPRINGS RANCH Designed by award winning architect Rick Feeney, this 4,900 SF custom home was thoughtfully positioned on 36 acres to take advantage of breathtaking views and privacy. Created with the idea that your home should be a base camp for all your Colorado adventures, the property is enhanced by natural landscaping requiring minimal maintenance, leaving more time for family, friends and adventures! Kitchen, great room and dining are the heart of a home and this one is no exception. Soaring cathedral ceiling in the great room frames the stone fireplace and full length windows. Light floods into the kitchen through southern windows and glass cabinets that separate the kitchen from the great room.

The formal dining room with windows on three sides opens onto the wrap around deck.

5 bedrooms provide plenty of space for lots of family and friends. And when the house is full, the lower level game room is the place to be with a wet bar, media center and second fireplace.

The property has over 8 acres of meadows with scattered gamble oak and pines, backing up to thousands of acres of BLM land, and is less than 2 miles from the San Juan National Forest with over 2 million acres to explore and enjoy hiking, horseback riding, biking, 4-wheeling, snowmobiling, camping, and hunting.

LOCATION AND AREA Nestled in a picturesque valley within the lovely gated community of Elk Springs Ranch, this property encompasses 36 beautifully manicured acres in a very private setting. The ranch is at an elevation 7,600 ft. above sea level, in an area that is graced with 300+ days of sunshine each year. Comfortable summer temperatures reach the upper 80s, while the autumn days are clear, cool and full of vibrant foliage colors. The crisp and sunny winter days often feature abundant, light powdery snow. The ranch is located 6 miles east of the rural city of Mancos which sits at the base of Mesa Verde National Park, and as a small rural town, offers basic services to the surrounding community.

The charming town of Durango is located 25 miles to the east, and has many big city conveniences, including a state-of-theart new hospital, many fine restaurants, hotels, shopping, a four-year college, and many cultural activities. The fourcorners area provides endless activities for the outdoor sports enthusiast.

The Montezuma County area, which includes Mancos, Cortez and Dolores, has a population of approximately 30,000 and is the most southwestern of the 64 counties in the state of Colorado. Mesa Verde National Park, Canyon of the Ancients National Monument, Yucca House National Monument, and Hovenweep National Monument preserve hundreds of ancient American Indian structures found in the county, including the famous cliff dwellings. Roughly 1/3 of the county is tribal land, 1/3 is federal land (administered by the National Park Service, the United States Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management), and 1/3 is private or state/county land.

The La Plata County area that includes Durango and Bayfield has a population of 52,000. La Plata airport runs daily commercial service to Denver, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque and Phoenix, with seasonal service to Dallas, and includes facilities for full service general aviation. The property is approximately 75 miles from Telluride, 138 miles from Moab and Arches National Park, 192 miles from Lake Powell, 170 miles from Grand Junction, 210 miles from Albuquerque and Santa Fe, about 320 miles from Denver and Colorado Springs and 430 miles from Phoenix.
