Real Estate and Homes

The Preserve is designed for buyers who want to build a significant mountain estate on a large, private parcel. Lot sizes around 13 acres give owners the room to create whatever vision they have, whether that's a grand family home with guest quarters or a more intimate retreat with maximum open space.

Properties face the Wilson Massif, giving homeowners some of the best front-row mountain views in the region. The development's southern position on Turkey Creek Mesa means longer daylight hours and warmer exposures compared to valley-floor properties. Single-family homes here are custom builds, often featuring premium materials and architectural details suited to the setting.

Lifestyle and Local Highlights

The Preserve's proximity to the Telluride Ski Resort is a major draw. Skiing, snowboarding, and lift-accessed hiking and mountain biking are just a few minutes away. The resort also offers a golf course, tennis, and spa facilities in Mountain Village.

Downtown Telluride is about a 15 to 20-minute drive, where you'll find Main Street's restaurants, bars, galleries, and the famous festival lineup. The free gondola connects Mountain Village to downtown, so residents can park in the village and ride into town.

For families, the Telluride R-1 School District serves the area. Kids attend school in town, and the community is small enough that most families get to know each other quickly.
