This amazing parcel is an outdoors lover's dream. Enjoy a scenic drive out North Pagosa Boulevard, past multiple gorgeous lakes and to the mouth of iconic Martinez Canyon. Pull into the lot that provides National Forest Service Gate Five access and walk a few feet to the right of the gate. Yes, this rare lot is adjacent to the gate and shares a fence line to the south with pristine National Forest. Walk the parcel to fully appreciate its gentle topography, mighty tall timbers, multiple build sites and both up-valley views to the north and down-forest views to the south. Paved road access rests to the front of the lot and the stunning cliffs and meadows, plus, a seasonal stream meander for miles down the neighboring canyon, eventually ending at Highway 160. In addition to being a gateway to miles of forest trails, the brief drive back to the Uptown Pagosa core area, the incredible PLPOA Recreation Center, improved bike paths, lakes and all your favorite stores and restaurants make the parcel ideally located. Outside your back door are also miles of outstanding bike, snowshoe, cross country skiing and hiking trails, all launching from Gate Five. This truly unique parcel deserves an equally unique custom home or mountain cabin. See the other available lots first and save this beauty for your final stop of the day. Keep in mind that the light, colors, feel and personality of this parcel will change dramatically from daybreak to starlight and from spectacular season to season. If you enjoy wildlife, you'll appreciate a huge variety of alpine birds, wildflowers and critters which also visit and change throughout the year. Do you have horses? Yes, you may. Take your time, hike the forest, walk the parcel and savor the potential of this tasty offering today.
