LOT 16B Mountain Springs Road

Description

Mountain Springs Ranch - A Rare Gem in the Roaring Fork Valley Spectacular Views and Pristine Living Welcome to an exclusive 15-acre property in the serene and private Mountain Springs Ranch (MSR) community. This exceptional parcel boasts some of the best, unobstructed views of Mount Sopris, and the Elk Range, offering a tranquil retreat just 20 minutes from the vibrant heart of Glenwood Springs. Unique Setting Originally part of a 35-acre parcel thoughtfully subdivided to preserve privacy and maximize open space, this property is surrounded by thousands of acres of BLM land for endless recreation. The location offers an abundance of wildlife and diverse terrain, with picturesque meadows of wildflowers, mature Gamble Oak, and forested groves of Aspen, Douglas Fir, and Blue Spruce. Build Your Dream Home The property features a gently sloped, accessible building site with good soil conditions, making excavation cost-effective. Electricity and communications lines are conveniently located approximately 100 feet from the building site. A shared well agreement ensures pristine, high-quality water, supported by recent (2024) well & water tests. Exclusive Community Benefits Mountain Springs Ranch is a gated and privately maintained neighborhood, ensuring seclusion, safety, and year-round access with snowplowed roads. Unlike the neighboring Elk Springs community, MSR offers larger parcels (minimum 35 acres in MSR, except for this unique 15-acre offering), greater diversity of terrain, and a more rural atmosphere. The property's RLDE designation ensures 80% of the land remains open space, fostering a connection to nature while allowing a variety of buildings within the 20% developable area. Proximity to Year-Round Recreation This property is ideally situated for both outdoor and cultural enthusiasts. Within minutes, you can enjoy Glenwood Springs' renowned hot springs, vapor caves, and lively mountain town amenities. Winter adventures await at nearby Sunlight Ski Resort, with Aspen, Snowmass, Vail, and Beaver Creek accessible for day trips. Why Choose Mountain Springs Ranch? Unlike other communities, MSR offers a unique blend of seclusion and accessibility, with larger lots, well water (instead of tap), and a peaceful atmosphere. The road, while unpaved, is meticulously maintained, ensuring easy access and minimal traffic. A Legacy Property Once owned by Charles Marsh, the visionary behind Mountain Springs Ranch, this parcel is widely regarded as one of the community's most premier lots. With its southwest exposure, protected views, and exceptional privacy, it is a dream come true for anyone seeking open space living in Glenwood Springs.
