This authentic single-family home is live-in ready and full of potential, too! Situated at the top of the bucolic Ilium Valley 20 minutes south of Telluride in the community of Ames sits a trailblazer's property straddled by three mountain creeks and within walking distance to world-class adventures galore - ice climbing, fly fishing, hiking, biking, rock climbing - and moments away from three mesmerizing waterfalls, a glorious alpine lake, & backcountry and Nordic skiing. Ames is known worldwide for having the first hydroelectric power plant on the planet. Less known is that the original owner of this home, Henry Barber, is acclaimed worldwide as a pioneer of the clean climbing movement and a prolific first ascensionist. He picked Ames for good reason.
