Elk Run real estate appeals to buyers who want a gated, private mountain community just south of the Ski Ranches off Highway 145. It's known for generous lot sizes (typically four to eight acres), towering aspens, and direct views of Wilson Peak. For buyers who want privacy and natural beauty within a 10-minute drive of the Telluride Ski Resort, Elk Run checks every box.
Elk Run has only a handful of homesites, each one tucked into the natural terrain of the mountainside. Lots are significantly larger than what you'll find in Mountain Village or the Ski Ranches, and the low density means neighbors are more of a concept than a reality.
Homes here tend to be custom-built mountain residences that take full advantage of the southern sun exposure and peak views. Architectural styles range from traditional mountain lodge to more refined designs, all surrounded by aspen forests that turn gold in the fall. Several lots still offer the opportunity to build from scratch.
Elk Run's location puts residents right between two worlds. Head north and you're at the Telluride Ski Resort in about 10 minutes, with access to over 2,000 acres of skiable terrain. Head into town and you're on Telluride's Main Street in roughly 15 minutes, within reach of everything from the Telluride Film Festival to a casual dinner at one of the local restaurants.
The immediate surroundings are all about nature. Elk, deer, and other wildlife move through the area regularly. The nearby Ski Ranches trail network is accessible for hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing. And with Highway 145 as your main corridor, getting to the airport or neighboring communities like Ophir and Rico is straightforward.
