Experience the ultimate Telluride lifestyle in this perfectly placed Ballard House condo. Whether you’re here to carve through world-class powder or hike the San Juan Mountains, this spacious 1-bedroom retreat offers an unbeatable "park and walk" experience. Located just one block from the Free Gondola, the historic Main Street, and the scenic San Miguel River Trail, you are at the epicenter of everything Telluride has to offer.
The Space
This bright and airy ground-floor condo combines mountain charm with modern convenience. The open-concept layout features a large, fully equipped kitchen that flows seamlessly into the living area, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace—perfect for après-ski relaxation. Large windows invite natural light and offer stunning vistas of the surrounding peaks. With no overhead neighbors, you can enjoy a quiet, peaceful stay in the heart of town.
