The legendary Dallas Divide take its name from George M. Dallas and is hailed as one of the greatest view quarters to the San Juan's in all of South Western Colorado. The Mount Sneffels range is one of the most photographed mountains in all of Colorado.

Right in at the face off it all. This property is located perfectly between the iconic town of Telluride with some of the best skiing in the country, to the quaint little town of Ridgway where Ralph Lauren purchased his Ranch.
Just shy of 400 acres this ranch could make for one grand of a home site overlooking vast wild acres of Aspens, Ponderosas, lush green meadows and mountain peaks that rival the Grand Tetons. With the high-end living of Telluride and it's Alps like skiing to the back door and Ridgway boasting its valley views to the front, this location gives you exposure to the best of what Colorado has to over while offering up the privacy from the everyday busy life. Just to your north is the Uncompahgre National Forest that spans across 955 thousand acres near to the border of Utah. With an ample amount of outdoor recreational access at your fingertips this location gives you access to miles of trails to wander in the summer, chase golden colors in the fall, and snowmobile in the winter. Sandwiched between two over the counter elk hunting units this Ranch is located in the limited unit of 61. This combination of units from high pressure to low is home to the largest elk herds in the area that also generates some of the largest class of bull elk in Western Colorado. A vast number of wild animals call this beautiful plateau home from elk to mule deer, black bear to mountain lions and even the beautiful Red Fox.
Ealge Ridge Ranch was originally made of up 15 35+acre parcels. It was subdivided and does have a working HOA with Declarations and Bylaws. 4 of the original lots, 7, 8, 12 and 13 were sold. Lots 7 and 8 represent the section in the middle which is cut out of the lower south-eastern section of the orginal ranch. Lots 12 and 13 are owned by the same individual who has build a beautiful large home at 280 Sage Grouse North.
These 4 lots sold for the following:
Lot 7= 03/26/2007 for $675,000;
Lot 8= 05/03/2007 for $687,000;
Lot 12= 06/10/2008 for $545,000;
Lot 13= 10/27/2006 for $675,000
There is one pond on the property on Lot 15 (top portion of lot, by the roads). It is currently unclear as to if it is seasonal, if it is formed from rainwater runoff or other water source. Clarification has been requested. Otherwise, water rights are the standard well per 35 acre parcel; therefore, 11 wells can be drilled for each lot associated with the current 11 lots which make up Eagle Ridge Ranch.
