COWBOY HEAVEN | 108 ACRES | TOP OF THE WORLD |

NEAR TELLURIDE

Some properties are simply land. Others become part of the history of a place. Cowboy Heaven is one of those rare properties.

Located approximately 20 minutes west of Telluride within the highly regarded Top of the World community, this extraordinary offering combines Lots G and H into 108 acres of exceptionally versatile Colorado land—or allows them to remain as two separate parcels of approximately 54 acres each. The property offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, history and flexibility, creating an opportunity to build a truly remarkable family compound, legacy retreat or private mountain ranch.

The land unfolds across open pastures, rolling hills, mature trees and ponds, with elk and deer regularly moving across the property.

Specie Creek flows along the western side, while dramatic mountain views stretch southward and toward Telluride. Each parcel has its own excellent well, electric power in place and year-round access via maintained roads. Each parcel may accommodate a main residence, ADU and barn, offering exceptional flexibility for a future estate, guest accommodations, equestrian use or a multigenerational retreat.

But what makes this property truly extraordinary is its history.

The former ranch home and barn on the southern parcel are protected historic structures and enduring reminders of the rugged men and women who once called this remote corner of Colorado home. More than a century ago, the ranch became known as “Cowboy Heaven,” a nickname that has endured and speaks to the independent, hard-working and occasionally rowdy character of those who lived and gathered here.

Today, the opportunity is yours to become the next steward of this remarkable piece of Colorado history.

Imagine waking to wide-open mountain views, riding or hiking across your own 108 acres, watching wildlife move through the pastures, or creating a home designed specifically for the people you love. Yet the world-renowned slopes, restaurants, festivals, shopping and golf of Telluride are only about 30 minutes away. Fly-fishing on the San Miguel River is just minutes away, while miles of public lands and exceptional opportunities for hiking, camping, hunting, horseback riding, four-wheeling and exploring are close at hand.

Whether you envision a spectacular private estate, a family compound, a mountain retreat or simply acquiring and preserving a remarkable piece of Western Colorado history, Cowboy Heaven offers something increasingly difficult to find: scale, freedom, character and a story worth passing on.

This is more than 108 acres. It is an opportunity to create your own

Cowboy Heaven—and leave something extraordinary for the generations who follow.
