68671 vernal road

Position your business for success with this high-visibility 1.76-acre commercial lot, strategically located at the corner of Highway 550 and Vernal Road just south of Montrose. This property offers unmatched exposure on one of Western Colorado’s busiest southbound corridors—perfect for companies serving the growing communities of Ouray and Telluride while maintaining direct access to Montrose’s thriving market. Traffic & Visibility: 9,700 Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) currently flows past this location, with a projected increase to 11,834 AADT. Acceleration and deceleration lanes already installed ensuring safe, easy access. Excellent positioning as the first major commercial hub for traffic arriving from Ridgway, Ouray, and Telluride. Property Features: • Zoned General Commercial (C): Versatile use potential including retail, services, hospitality, contractor operations, and light industrial. • Utilities in Place: Tri-County Water tap installed; natural gas and 3-phase electric along Vernal/6850 Road; fiber/telephone along Hwy 550. Montrose is a regional hub for commerce and recreation, featuring a modern airport, expanding health care infrastructure, a vibrant manufacturing base, and a new recreation center. Recognized as one of Colorado’s most desirable small cities with affordable living, mild climate, and strong visitor traffic. Just 6 miles to Montrose, 17 miles to Ridgway, 29 miles to Ouray, and 51 miles to Telluride. Why This Parcel Stands Out: Immediate highway frontage, hard corner exposure, strong existing traffic with rapid growth projections, and zoning flexibility in one of Colorado’s fastest-growing lifestyle markets.
