Going to Auction on February 24th, 2026 - Link to Bid

Ouray, Colorado is often called Switzerland of America because of its towering mountain peaks with a charming town set in the valley below. It is a popular resort town in southwestern Colorado that is not far from Telluride, Ridgway, and Montrose. Real estate is selling at a premium here, and there are very few vacant lots left inside the town limits. This building lot is at the north end of town, only 200 feet from the ballfields at the town park and 700 feet from the famous Ouray Hot Springs pool.

Ouray enacted recent ordinances stating that on the lower level of downtown lots no more than 75 of the ground floor space may be residential, with the balance commercial space. Residential can be built on the upper floors. However, this.16-Acre lot was grandfathered in with a building application that MAY be possible to transfer to the new buyer to make it all residential. Ouray offers all kinds of exciting recreation.

The famous jeep trails above town are world-renowned for providing stunning views and challenging 4WD terrain. In the summer, it's possible to take your UTV or Jeep and head over the San Juans and stop for lunch in Telluride. In the winter, Ouray has a challenging ice climbing course and a well-known ice climbing festival. Other activities include all the Colorado favorites--horseback riding, skiing, hiking, elk hunting, fly-fishing, you name it.
