Borders National Forest for Great Hikes, Wonderful Views, Luxury

Overview
Step out the back door and through a private gate to the San Juan National Forest and Turkey Springs trail system. Pagosa Highlands is a four-bedroom Southwest-style mountain retreat, set on more than an acre among towering ponderosa pines, with hiking right from the property and Lake Hatcher just two minutes away.

Spend your days exploring the trails, fishing, skiing, or soaking in Pagosa Springs' famous hot springs. Then return to a peaceful forest setting with a gas fireplace, spacious gathering areas, and multiple outdoor spaces for enjoying the mountain air.

Stucco walls, timber-post porches, and a flagstone patio give the home its distinctive Southwest character. Inside, a wall of windows fills the main living area with natural light and views of the surrounding forest. With a private upper-level primary suite and a separate lower-level den, there's room for families and friends to gather or enjoy their own space.
