Property Description
Nestled in the charming mountain town of Ophir, Colorado, in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, this rare historic property offers the chance to own a piece of local history. Built in 1896, the original one-room Ophir Schoolhouse once served the children of the town's early mining community. Thoughtfully reimagined in the 1980s as a single-family residence, the home blends historic character with spacious mountain living. Original moldings and hardwood floors complement soaring ceilings, large windows, and open living spaces filled with natural light. The 2,800-square-foot home features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a finished garden level with exceptional versatility. The space is ideal for a mudroom, media room, or additional storage.
