Circle J Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own 362.33 acres across eight parcels of private, canyon-rim land bordering San Juan National Forest, with direct access to the rugged beauty of Ryman Canyon—locally known as “Lion Alley” for its role as a natural wildlife corridor leading to the Dolores River. Perched above sweeping canyon views, the setting offers exceptional privacy, dramatic scenery, and a true connection to the Western landscape. The custom-built 6,564-square-foot residence is thoughtfully positioned to capture expansive vistas from nearly every room. Designed for both everyday comfort and elevated entertaining, the home features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, rich wood flooring, and extensive stonework that reflect the character of the surrounding terrain. At the heart of the home, a spacious chef’s kitchen is designed to gather. Featuring dual islands, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and high-end appliances, the space offers exceptional functionality while opening seamlessly to adjacent living and dining areas—ideal for hosting on any scale. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, designed as a private wing of the home. Framed by large windows and canyon views, the bedroom features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a fireplace, creating a warm yet expansive atmosphere. The en-suite bath offers an extended dual vanity, abundant cabinetry, and refined finishes, while a custom, boutique-style walk-in closet with center island provides exceptional organization and storage. Two additional guest suites, each with en-suite bathrooms, offer comfort and privacy, while a flexible office or additional bedroom and powder room add versatility. Multiple living and recreation spaces—including a game room with billiards—create an inviting environment for relaxation and entertaining. A striking stone fireplace anchors the main living area, while large windows and doors frame the canyon beyond and open to an expansive outdoor patio perfectly positioned to take in the views. The lower level offers extensive storage, including a large walk-in gun safe. Built with quality and efficiency in mind, the home features 2x6 construction, enhanced insulation, engineered hardwood flooring, and in-floor radiant heat, supported by dual-zone forced-air heating and air conditioning. A detached, heated three-car garage adds convenience. The land is equally well-equipped, offering irrigation water, a large pond, a shooting range with bench, a barn with electricity, and an equipment building with power and water. A future riding arena site is already in place with electrical service, and a former homesite tucked behind the barn includes electricity and septic—ideal for a guest residence or caretaker’s home. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of deer, elk, bobcat, bear, and mountain lion. The property also carries historical significance, with artifacts such as arrowheads and pottery from ancient Ancestral Puebloan settlements and hunting camps. Year-round access via a county-maintained road completes this exceptional offering of privacy, refinement, and untamed natural beauty.
