Located just 5 miles north of Pagosa Springs, CO this exceptional timber frame estate was designed as a year round mountain retreat. As you enter the home you are struck by both scale and elegance: Custom textiles; Century, Maitland-Smith and Marge Carson furnishings; regional bronzes; art from G.Harvey and artists across the West, and hand-made Naos Forge lighting give it a depth and warmth that photographs can’t truly capture – make sure you view the video. Outside, wrap-around covered porches and the meticulously landscaped grounds act as a seamless extension of the living space. There is no shoulder season here, just four-season outdoor living. A meandering cobble brook babbles its way through a diverse mix of terraced patios, planters and natural stone retaining walls. Interspersed throughout are lush lawns and native mature pine trees. The focal point of this oasis is the “Safari Bar”. With premium timber frame construction that mirrors the interior of the home, this semi-enclosed pavilion is an outdoor entertaining venue. Watch the game while the stone fireplace radiates heat into every corner of the space. Or lounge by the firepit as the setting sun illuminates the lake. Cater-in from the main kitchen or use the built-in grill, double oven and cooktop. The result is a space that captivates guests late into the evening. Inside, a full-height stone fireplace commands the east wall of the great room. Vaulted ceilings arc above heavy timber frame accents with expansive views of the manicured grounds, Hidden Valley Lake, and the San Juan Mountains to the north - view that changes with every season but never disappoints. The kitchen sits at the heart of the main level with a granite island where guests naturally gather. The formal dining room seats ten and feels exactly right for the kind of unhurried dinners this house was built for. Upstairs, the primary suite was designed for privacy and retreat. A hand-carved king bed sits beneath a gold-detailed ceiling and crystal chandelier. The gas fireplace is accentuated within a mahogany surround. Private sitting room is wrapped in windows with a daybed, excellent morning light, and big mountain views. The primary bath carries the same attention to detail, with a centerpiece soaking tub, vaulted timber ceiling, opposing independent vanities, and a walk-in shower that earns the description. The upper level also houses a fully independent guest suite with its own kitchenette, living area, and bathroom with copper, dual vanities, and walk-in shower. The walkout lower level runs nearly 3,600 square feet and could function as a completely self-contained second household: full kitchen, living room with fireplace, additional bedrooms, home theatre, exercise room, and a stocked wine cellar. Hidden Valley Ranch is the most private community in Pagosa Springs: a gated ranch of 1,600 acres holding just 35 homesites, each carefully positioned to balance privacy and views. The community's crown jewel is its own 55-acre private lake, stocked with trophy trout, accessible only to residents and their guests. Beyond the gate, Pagosa Springs delivers all Colorado should, without the crowds or pretense. Family-owned Wolf Creek Ski Area offers the “most snow in Colorado”. The geothermal hot springs draw people year-round to soak after a day in the mountains. Endless recreation without anyone telling you where to go.
