Description
17101 Highway 550 is a remarkable Uncompahgre Riverfront retreat designed to capture views of the river and surrounding red rock landscapes from nearly every room. Set on 3.38 acres, this ranch-style home offers effortless main-level living with no interior stairs to primary living spaces. Expansive windows frame the natural beauty outside, while reclaimed beams, hardwood floors, country tile, and hand-selected granite create warmth and timeless character. The home features an eat-in chef's kitchen, elegant formal dining and living rooms, a flexible office or guest bedroom, a private ensuite bedroom, and a spacious primary suite, all oriented to capture serene river views. A distinctive crow's nest office offers an inspiring workspace.Nearly every room opens to a deck or outdoor living area, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with the tranquil riverfront setting. Above the two-car attached garage, a bonus room awaits future development, offering endless possibilities for additional living, studio, or guest space. The sellers invested heavily by planting in a variety of trees and plants during their ownership: Colorado Blue Spruce, Aspens, Redwood Dawns, Lilacs, Silver Buffalo Berry, Weeping Norway Spruce, Golden and Red Current, Junipers, Red Ocher Dogwood and so many more. The property benefited from the recent 1.7 Million dollar river restoration and Ward Ditch improvements with the Uncompahgre Multi-Benefit Project (UMB) completed in fall of 2025. Two additional custom sheds were designed to replicate the historic structures of the old Portland town site on which the property resides. With no HOA/Covenants, 2 ditch laterals and multiple control points, a 60' fill pond and accompanied by water rights from the Ward Ditch, the possibilities for the new owner are endless. The home had a fire in January 2023 and that fire damage that has not been mitigated. 17101 Highway 550 is being sold As Is with fire damage. This property is a rare and impressive offering in the Ouray/Ridgway Valley and with the right vision, will be a wonderful legacy property for the new owner.
