GRAY HEAD  An exclusive enclave of 24 family ranches, 35 acres or larger, carved out of roughly 900 acres of spectacular mesa-top wilderness high above the Telluride region. But Gray Head is also a different kind of mountain retreat.

Thoughtfully designed as a unique and prestigious community within a community, no detail has been overlooked — from
homesites carefully placed to capture unobstructed 360˚ views, and bathed in sunshine longer than any other site in the region, to an historic owner’s cabin where neighbors can meet and entertain, and the list goes on: Gray Head’s amenities parallel it picture-perfect alpine views.

Gray Head is defined by privacy; the community rests at the base of the striking Mount Sneffles Wilderness area, is bordered
by the thick aspen groves of the Uncompahgre National Forest and sits on the western side of Deep Creek Mesa. Yet homesteads are anything but remote, located just a few miles past the Telluride Regional Airport on Last Dollar Road and an easy 15-20 minute drive (where most traffic consists of eagles, elk and other wildlife) from both the towns of Telluride and Mountain Village.
