Named for the tranquil hot spring within its confines, the Lela Belle Springs Ranch is a beautiful, 109 +/- acre, holding- just opposite of the Famous Orvis Hot Springs. Amenities are close, Orvis being a short walk, Ridgway a mere two miles, and every opportunity the San Juans have to offer, from historic Ouray (8.2 mi) to the Ski Slopes of Telluride (41 miles), being only a short drive. On the valley floor, the parcel is accessed directly off HWY-550 (year-round, paved). From there, the ranch traverses the Upper Moody Ditch, of which 0.25CFS is allocated to the property; then climbing Pinion and Juniper slopes to approximately 7,840’ elevation. Over this extent are several possible homesites with great views and sufficient acreage for 3 use-by-right tracts, each allowing a primary residence and guest home. The ranch is unencumbered, recently surveyed, with Tri-county water and electric service available. The Lela Belle Springs Ranch sports a modest 450SF, off grid, hunting and recreation cabin; taken alongside abundant mule deer & elk licenses, it can serve as a base camp for hunting/hiking deeded acreage (GMU 65), exploring public land, or fishing the celebrated Uncompahgre River at Paco-Chu-Puk. From a picnic and horseback ride around the natural spring, to lounging at Orvis, dining in Ridgway or exploring picturesque Ouray, the Lela Bella is a prime candidate for all life’s adventures.
