A Colorado Mountain Estate

Maps

 
The map below shows the property at the center of a 25 mile radius circle. The surrounding green area is the San Juan National Forest, providing extensive recreational opportunities year round. Much of the white area to the southwest of the property contains the Southern Ute Reservation.  This map highlights the relatively small amount of private property within Archuleta County. Scheduled flights come into Durango 50 some miles away (38NM) and the newly renovated runway at Stevens Field Airport accommodates private jets.

The Continental Divide forms an arc around the area, providing the residence with a view that stretches from the Rio Grande Pyramid in the northwest to Chama Peak in the southeast.  The Wolf Creek Ski area is out U.S. 160 just over the Divide. 

The 225 acre property is located a short distance southwest from the town of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, approximately 5 miles from the shopping center and super market.  Or perhaps more important, just 10 minutes from the Chinese or the Italian takeout. A round trip of 20 minutes can be done (or 32 minutes after a little snow)
 
The Pagosa Springs area map shows the city limits in pink. The  original "old town," home to interesting shops and historical buildings, is located down by the river in the area labeled "Pagosa Springs."  To the west are the newer shops, restaurants, and a major supermarket. The Ambulance Service (EMT's) and the Fire Department are located immediately to the north of this area.

Only 10 minutes away is the Pagosa Estate property, where peace, quiet and tranquility reign-- a true retreat in every way.
 

Below is a topographical map with the property lines hand sketched over it.  This map shows the hill top on both lots to be over 7,600 feet.  The driveway follows the contours up the valley crossing the lot line in the middle several times.  The residence is located at the top of lot 297. These lots are part of  the Pagosa Lakes development, a Master Planned Community.

This map also shows that all of the property is of a very rugged nature. The hill tops and the hill sides are forested with heavy timber consisting of Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, Juniper and Gamble Oak.  The meadows are covered with native grasses which the elk love, especially in the winter.

This property was part of the greater Taylor Canyon Ranch land and was grazed by cattle and /or sheep. Presently the property is used for recreation, hiking, snowmobiling and just plain wildlife watching.  The main purposes is wildlife habit.  The property could easily be used for many additional purposes, including raising horses or as a hunting preserve.

The property  is bordered by  the San Juan National Forest to the west  and a small ( 29 acres with no access) piece of  Southern Ute property at the southwest corner. The 1000 acre Taylor Canyon is on the south.  The main border on the east is an estate owned by the CEO of an aircraft co in California is use restricted and is currently being managed as a Tree Farm .  To the north is the Meadows IV Subdivision of the Pagosa Lakes.
