Description
Nestled in the charming mountain town of Ophir, Colorado, in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, this rare historic property offers the chance to own a piece of local history. Built in 1896, the original one-room Ophir Schoolhouse once served the children of the town's early mining community. Thoughtfully reimagined in the 1980s as a single-family residence, the home blends historic character with spacious mountain living. Original moldings and hardwood floors complement soaring ceilings, large windows, and open living spaces filled with natural light. The 2,700-square-foot home features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a finished garden level with exceptional versatility. The space is ideal for a mudroom, media room, or additional storage. Enjoy year-round southern exposure from the sun-filled solarium, or relax on the newly replaced wrap-around deck while taking in the surrounding alpine scenery and views into Waterfall Canyon. Located just 20 minutes from the Telluride Ski Resort, the property offers convenient access to world-class skiing, hiking, and biking. Whether you're eager to explore the extensive nearby trail system and surrounding peaks, or simply looking for a distinctive mountain home with a story to tell, this Ophir property offers a truly special place to call home.
