Property Description

Tucked into the gated community of Rito Blanco Ranch, just 25 minutes from downtown Pagosa Springs, this extraordinary five bedroom, five bathroom home sits on 35 acres at the base of the South San Juan Mountains, bordered by national forest on three sides. The privacy is real. The views are better. Inside, the home is a masterclass in mountain farmhouse design. Soaring vaulted ceilings with heavy exposed wood beams, wide-plank hardwood floors, and a sprawling open concept main floor that connects kitchen, dining, and living in one generous sweep of space. The kitchen anchors it all, with a curved quartz island, custom cabinetry, professional grade range, farmhouse sink, and a built-in wine fridge. A shiplap fireplace wall anchors the living room, and the upper loft looks down over the entire main floor like a front row seat to the whole thing. Five bedrooms, each with its own private en suite bath. Three on the main level, two large suites upstairs, and an additional office that could easily convert to a sixth bedroom. A six car garage with three bays handles everything the mountain lifestyle demands, from snowmobiles and ATVs to a skid steer and beyond. Outside, a wraparound porch with 360 degree views, a fire pit on the grass, and the kind of night sky that makes you forget your phone exists. The Rito Blanco River runs through the property and is full of rainbow trout. Elk move through the meadows regularly. The Keyhole, a natural passage to Quartz Lake, is visible right from the property. This is not a vacation home. This is a life upgrade.
