Mountain serenity meets in-town convenience at 326 Mesa Drive. Built to last by its original owners, this approx. 3,400 sq ft home sits on a half-acre with expansive eastward views of the San Juan Mountains and forest, yet it's an easy walk to the shops, restaurants and world-famous hot springs of historic downtown Pagosa Springs. The main level is made for gathering. A vaulted great room, dining area and sunroom open to floor-to-ceiling windows that capture sunrise over the peaks and the wildlife that wanders past. The kitchen features stainless appliances and a center island for easy food prep, flowing naturally into dining and entertaining. Step outside to an approx. 690 sq ft wraparound deck above a stone terrace, ideal for summer dinners, morning coffee and evenings under the stars. With four bedrooms and five baths, there is room for everyone. The main-level primary suite opens to the deck and offers a soaking tub and its own laundry. A second bedroom also walks out to the deck, and the loft has its own bath. The walkout lower level adds a bedroom (buyer to verify county classification as bedroom #4), a second washer/dryer and flexible space for guests, recreation or hobbies. A private upstairs apartment with kitchenette, bath and separate entrance is ideal for visitors, multi-generational living or potential rental income. Thoughtful details set this home apart, including forced-air heating and central air conditioning (uncommon in the area), abundant storage, an oversized two-car garage with workshop, and a detached garden building with greenhouse. There's plenty of room for skis, bikes, kayaks and fishing gear, plus a picnic overlook on the grounds. Enjoy four-season living: ski or snowboard at Wolf Creek Ski Area, soak in the geothermal springs, fish and float the San Juan River, and hike, bike or ride horseback in the surrounding national forest. Durango, Bayfield and Ignacio are a scenic drive away. One of the larger homes in the neighborhood, with outstanding value per square foot.
