130 Russell Drive

Description

You built the life. Now choose the place that brings your children back -- to ski, stay, and be together again. The years spent building a career, creating opportunity, and providing well often come with a quiet tradeoff: time moves faster than expected. At 130 Russell Drive, school breaks become ski weeks, long weekends become traditions, and the people you worked so hard to provide for have a place they will genuinely want to return to. Recently reduced by $250,000 and now offered at $7,250,000, this six-bedroom Mountain Village residence delivers 6,020 square feet at approximately $1,204 per square foot--one of the most compelling price-per-square-foot opportunities among Mountain Village homes currently available and positioned well below today's replacement-cost equation. ROOM FOR EVERYONE. SPACE FOR YOURSELF. Designed for effortless multi-generational living, the home comfortably accommodates extended family and friends while giving everyone enough privacy to remain genuinely fond of one another. Six bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths include a private guest suite, a beautifully updated primary retreat, and a custom bunk room capable of sleeping 16--ready for cousins, teammates, college friends, future grandchildren, or the inevitable holiday gathering that becomes larger than originally discussed. Multiple living areas allow each generation to find its own rhythm. Gather beneath the vaulted ceilings of the great room, settle beside the new gas fireplace, retreat to the comfortable den, or transform the observatory-level bonus room into a fitness studio, playroom, creative space, or quiet office. Expansive windows frame the San Sophia Range, while the back deck extends everyday living into the surrounding mountain landscape. The layout feels substantial without feeling formal: spacious enough for three households to stay comfortably, yet warm and connected when everyone comes together. THE KIND OF LOCATION THAT MAKES FAMILY TIME EASY Set along the 15th tee of the Telluride Golf Course and directly connected to Mountain Village's public trail system, 130 Russell Drive creates a mountain lifestyle that begins at the back door. Winter mornings can start with cross-country skiing or a walk through the snow before heading to the slopes. The free Dial-A-Ride service provides convenient access to the gondola, skiing, dining, and the Mountain Village Core without coordinating cars, parking, or complicated logistics. In summer, walk the golf course, ride electric bikes into the Village, explore the surrounding trails, or settle onto the deck with coffee as the mountains catch the morning light. The setting offers privacy and breathing room within a welcoming neighborhood, keeping the energy of Telluride comfortably close without placing it directly outside the front door. It is the rare balance buyers seek in Mountain Village: connected, but never crowded. THE MEMORIES ARE ALREADY BUILT INTO THE SETTING The sellers' favorite moments reveal what life here can become: Watching elk move quietly through the property from the hot tub. Sledding behind the house with children and dogs. Returning from a powder day to the sauna. Sitting beside the fire as the San Sophia Range fills the windows. Watching holiday fireworks from the back porch. Walking down to Big Billies or The Peaks on a summer evening. Riding into the Village for lunch, coffee, or a bottle of wine. These are not simply amenities. They are the moments that turn a mountain property into the place everyone refers to as "our Telluride house"--the place where teenagers bring friends, college children extend their visits, and future generations begin forming traditions of their own. THOUGHTFULLY UPDATED AND READY TO ENJOY The residence has been extensively improved so its next owners can arrive, unpack, and begin using it immediately. Recent updates include new wood flooring in the lower level and primary suite, updated lighting and fixtures, refreshed bathrooms, new window cov
