Just 15 minutes south of Montrose and a scenic drive away from the mountain towns of Ridgway, Ouray, and Telluride, this incredible 40-acre parcel off the aptly named Happy Trail offers the ideal blend of natural beauty, freedom, and convenience. Tucked just a half-mile off Government Springs Road—near the prestigious Cornerstone Golf Community—this land is easy to reach via a well-paved main road and a smooth gravel drive that winds into the property. At approximately 6,800 feet in elevation, the climate is refreshingly mild in summer, and the extra oxygen makes it easy to explore and relax. Wildlife is abundant—especially deer and elk, who roam freely across the ridges and meadows and will likely become regular visitors. The terrain offers a dynamic mix of level pasture, rock outcroppings, and forested slopes, with two separate access points leading to distinct build sites: one open and gently sloping, perfect for immediate use, and another perched on a ridge with expansive views of the surrounding mountains and the peaceful valleys below. The entire southern edge is adjacent to BLM-and this open to thousands of acres of public land right out your front door! With no HOA and zero restrictive covenants, you have complete freedom to live how you choose—whether that means building a custom mountain home, setting up a seasonal retreat, bringing your RV and pets for extended stays, or using it as a basecamp for outdoor adventures. Electric service is close by, and the land is well-suited for solar power, conventional septic, and wells. Surrounded by high-end homes yet offering total flexibility, this is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Western Colorado paradise where nature, privacy, and possibility all come together.
