Break free from it all to a remote and wild place yet convenient in a prime midpoint between Telluride and the glorious San Juan Mountains. With immersive views from Lizard Head to the La Sal’s, the Dragon Lode is an original like you've never seen before. Situated on 332 private, divine acres of unparalleled beauty overlooking the San Miguel Canyon and several mountain ranges, this dramatic and dynamic assemblage offers a significant respite from the everyday while indulging in the comforts of refined living. The main residence, a testament to the visionary work of Steeprock’s Glenn Harcourt, stands as art forged from hand-carved rock, wood and metal. Every detail reflects the passion and ingenuity of talented metalsmiths and craftspeople whose creativity is infused into every creation. The current owner enhanced the property, amplifying its harmony with nature and ensuring its enduring legacy of artistry, and tranquility. Dragon Lode encompasses two secluded parcels within Old Elam Ranch on Hastings Mesa, along with several lode claims and a BLM in-holding. Discover a mountain spring, pasture land, a charming barn studio and loafing sheds. Unwind in the Finnish sauna, rejuvenate at the woodland stone circle, tipi and yoga/yurt deck perched above breathtaking mountain valleys, or simply lose yourself in the serenity of your surroundings. This is as pure and fine as it gets where nature’s splendor meets a jewel of off-the-grid mountain home artistry.
