So, many things have changed for me business-wise since I last “blogged.” One truly exciting thing that has happened is that I have moved my license to a great spot that not only sells Colorado real estate, but offers property management as well. The company’s name is Mountain Management at Ridgway. We are sister companies with Mountain Management at Telluride and Ouray Realty Investements.

My role at this new locale is to develop the Ridgway vacation rental inventory and then market the inventory. It is so exciting and interesting. Our properties range from townhomes to 5000 square foot homes that can sleep up to 13 people. We want to make Ridgway not only a great place to live, but also a great getaway. This will offer folks from all over the opportunity to experience our little piece of heaven.

If you are not aware Ridgway is “The Gateway to the San Juans.” Our town is centrally located and allows one to be right in the heart of all the Western Slope has to offer, whether it be skiing in Telluride, ice climbing in Ouray or just kicking back in the beautiful surroundings of the “old west.” Ridgway also boasts hot springs, cross country skiing, horseback riding, history, mines, hiking and much, much more.

Ya’ll come on out and if you need a place to stay, we can help. Just visit www.ridgwaymountainmanagement.com

Goose Comes to Visit Ridgway 

Being the history buff that I am, I am completely in awe of Ridgway’s newest temporary addition. Although I have not had the time to get over to look at her up close, I did get to witness her historic “return” voyage to our fine town that is steeped so heavily in train history.

Changing Demographics of Ouray County

Solar RanchWell, according to our local paper, The Ridgway Sun, the population of Ouray County only grew by 55. One thing that has to be grasped about our area though is that not all property owners live here. I don’t know exact numbers, but quite a few folks, especially boomers have invested to retire/live here sometime in the next 10 -15 years.

However, I do know that the face of Ridgway is changing. It has done so in many ways even in the last five years since we moved here. Our neighborhood, Solar Ranches for example, has built out immensely. My street alone has had 3 duplexes built on what were empty lots 5 years ago.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mind. I love it that others are relocating here and getting to share our appreciation of the area, whether it be part of the year or year round.

Check out the link to the paper it’s a great way to find out just what makes our great town tick.
