Stunning timber-frame mountain retreat with see-forever views of the north and east range of the San Juan Mountains. Perfectly positioned on 5 very private acres offering the ultimate Pagosa lifestyle for the outdoors-minded seeking refuge from city life. Step inside to soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and walls of glass framing the mountains in every direction. The dramatic double-sided fireplace anchors the great room and dining area, creating an inviting space to unwind with a glass of wine after a day of adventure. The kitchen has heated floors—cozy toes for cool Colorado mornings. The spacious primary suite offers its own fireplace, walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath complete with heated floors, air-massage tub overlooking the view, large walk-in shower, and dry sauna. Oversized guest bedrooms have stunning views—one with its own ensuite bath, huge closet, and a 12x19 flex space ideal for a playroom, nursery, office or easy off-season storage. Enjoy evenings around the wine bar recounting the day’s activities, or step out to the covered deck with big views and a firepit for s’mores under the stars. Toward the back of the home, a 17x15 gathering room surrounded in windows currently serves as a dining space for vacation rental guests—but could easily transform into a large butler's pantry for entertaining, home gym, music studio, hobby room, dance studio or other creative space. Upstairs, a “crow’s nest” retreat offers a fun hideaway for games, crafting, or an extra bunk area for visiting grandkids. Outdoors, the fenced grassy yard is perfect for pets or little ones, surrounded by low-maintenance xeriscaping and beautifully thinned pines for both privacy and view corridors. A full-size elk sculpture greets you as you arrive at this hilltop sanctuary. And don’t forget to sit in the chairlift swing overlooking sunset vistas to the west. Gather around the rustic log firepit at day’s end to share stories and mountain air. New furnace, tankless H2O, and AC, this home shows pride of ownership throughout. The office area or upper alcove could be made into a 4th bedroom, however, a septic improvement may be required. All this just 15 minutes from groceries, restaurants, medical services, Pagosa Springs Golf Course, the San Juan River, and the world-famous Pagosa Hot Springs—and only 30 minutes to Wolf Creek Ski Area. Commercial air service is just an hour away in Durango with multiple non-stop flights to Dallas, Houston (summer only for now), Denver or Phoenix. Fly directly into Stevens Field in Pagosa with its 8, 100-foot runway accommodating most mid-sized jets. One step through the front door and you’ll know you are home.
