Aldasoro

Eighty years ago, the original Aldasoro brothers, Joaquin and Serapio, left their homeland in the Basque Pyrenees of Spain and traveled land and sea to awaiting jobs herding sheep in eastern Utah. Seeking summer pasture, they moved the herds up into the San Juan Mountains and discovered Telluride, where Joaquin and Serapio embarked upon their own American dream. Their first purchase, in 1926, consisted of a small plot of land on Deep Creek Mesa. As they prospered over the years, they acquired eleven of the surrounding homesteads that together became known as the Aldasoro Ranch. In the late 1980s, the agriculture industry became unprofitable and debt accumulated, which led Albert Aldasoro, son of Joaquin, to develop 1,550 acres of the ranch into the largest low-density developments in the region. The Aldasoro Ranch is comprised of 166 single-family lots with 620 acres of open space, the home of abundant wildlife. The Aldasoro family has made this their home for generations and they invite you to come to the tranquil side of Telluride, The Aldasoro Ranch.
