92 Trunk Rd, Placerville, CO 81430

Close enough to Telluride for ski mornings, festivals, and dinner in town—far enough away for kids, dogs, gear, and breathing room. Set on nearly an acre in Placerville, this 3,663-square-foot mountain home offers a different way to live the Telluride lifestyle: surrounded by mature trees, with privacy and space to spread out, yet within easy reach of Telluride and Mountain Village. Even better, the beloved Down Valley Park is nearby, putting the San Miguel River, pond, playground, playing fields, trails, and year-round outdoor recreation practically in your backyard. Inside, the home is designed for the way families actually use a mountain property. Three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and two additional bonus rooms create plenty of options for family and friends, home offices, bunk rooms, media or game space, or whatever evolves with you over time. One bonus room includes a kitchenette, adding even more flexibility for guests and extended stays. Vacation rentals are allowed, offering owners another option for how the property can work when they are not in residence. Colorado winters are made considerably better by in-floor hot water radiant heat throughout the home, while a Vermont Castings wood stove provides an additional heat source—and the kind of cozy mountain evenings that tend to become everyone’s favorite part of the trip. Outside, there is room for the lifestyle that brought you here in the first place. An oversized two-car garage with 8-foot doors provides space for vehicles and mountain toys, with a separate workshop for projects, tuning skis and bikes, or simply having a place to make a mess. Four detached storage sheds offer even more room for paddleboards, fishing gear, camping equipment, bikes, skis, seasonal gear, and everything else a Colorado mountain family seems to accumulate. A rooftop solar array on the garage helps significantly offset utility costs, enhancing both efficiency and long-term ownership value. The . 882-acre property combines privacy and mature trees with year-round accessibility, classic mountain character, and an uncommon amount of usable space and storage. Board-and-batten siding and a hip-and-gable roofline give the home a timeless, grounded feel that fits naturally into its surroundings. For a family looking for a home near Telluride without needing to be in the middle of Telluride, this is an increasingly hard combination to find: space for everyone, room for all the gear, access to the outdoors, flexibility in how you use the property, and the mountains waiting just outside the door.
