Placerville, CO 81430
Discover Laughing Dog Ranch: a rare 243-acre sanctuary where Telluride's world-class amenities meet private wilderness, offering an ultimate sportsman's retreat & a savvy investment opportunity. This exceptional family compound, comprised of three prime parcels, presents an extraordinary chance to build additional homes for family and friends, sell off two of the three parcels to recoup some costs or, finally, gain significant conservation easement tax benefits. This allows you to maximize your investment while protecting a cherished landscape. Laughing Dog Ranch provides a quiver of outdoor activities at your doorstep. Roam your private range, ensuring unparalleled solitude for every adventure. Six thoughtfully crafted structures provide ample space for generations to come, along with all your essential gear - fly rods, ATVs, snowshoes, nordic skis, binoculars, & more. Enjoy breathtaking tranquility & unwind amidst a tapestry of pristine meadows & majestic mountains. Recent enhancements showcase the simple elegance of the single-level, timber-accented main house. A charming guest house provides flexible accommodations, while the sizable 5-bay garage keeps your ranch equipment & vehicles perfectly sheltered. Grow your own food in the greenhouse. For equestrian enthusiasts, the immaculate stables are fit for equine royalty. Every detail of this meticulously maintained property has been thoughtfully considered & improved over time. This isn't just a purchase; it's an investment in sustainable living & smart land stewardship. Embrace a life of freedom & live your best life yet.
