The Mesas
The Mesa communities offer larger parcels, privacy, and sweeping views, often at a different price point and pace than Telluride or Mountain Village.

When people refer to “The Mesas” surrounding Telluride, they are typically talking about a collection of distinct communities that can be grouped into three general categories: the Nearby Mesas, the Middle Mesas, and the Outlying Mesas.
The Nearby Mesas include Turkey Mesa and Deep Creek Mesa, both valued for their proximity to Telluride while still offering larger parcels and a greater sense of privacy. The Middle Mesas, including Wilson Mesa and Hastings Mesa, are known for expansive acreage, dramatic Wilson Peak views, and a balance of accessibility and open space. Farther out, the Outlying Mesas, such as Specie Mesa and Iron Springs or Horsefly Mesa, appeal to buyers seeking wide-open landscapes, fewer neighbors, and a more remote feel.
From the front-row Wilson Peak views of Wilson Mesa to the arid, open spaces of Specie Mesa, each area offers its own character, lifestyle, and range of property values. Together, the Mesas present a compelling alternative for buyers looking beyond Telluride for space, views, and long-term ownership opportunities.
From in-town residences to mountain communities and larger parcels, the Telluride region offers a wide range of ownership opportunities. Each area brings its own lifestyle, access, and long-term considerations worth understanding before you buy.
