Resting alongside one of the County's most iconically picturesque ranch roads (yes, it is really called Snow Ball Road), this country-style charmer offers an enchanting hideaway cabin character with refreshingly authentic feel and flair. The short drive from historic old town Pagosa Springs winds past a turn of the century barn which was once a local dairy and is backdropped by countless acres of legacy ranch meadows, lush hillsides and the incomparable majesty of our north range peaks. Embraced with a mix of old growth tall-pines and private park-like setting, you'll be inspired to grab your favorite book to savor fireside or share family tales on a picnic blanket in the white-picket-fence magic of the back yard. You can become only the second owner of this uniquely cunning getaway. The home is tucked, well off the road and you'd miss it if you weren't looking for it. From the driveway you'll notice a beautiful custom outdoor water feature which brings the tranquil sound of water the space in warm months. To the right of the home you'll see loads of white picket fence, which encircles a gigantic back yard, which is home to many mature trees, a greenhouse, shed, loads of natural grass and a lovely firepit/gathering space. This retreat space is just unreal and ads to your entertaining space while serving as a bird sanctuary in spring, summer and fall. I've never seen more hummingbirds than at this home this early-fall. As you drive up the lane, you'll instantly appreciate the unique design of the home. Bob Ross would call it a "happy place" home. The ground level two car garage and adjacent workshop is a craftsperson/maker's delight. Up the stairs and onto the covered entry deck and you'll begin to sense the warmth of the home. Step inside and you'll instantly recognize an inviting living room with a huge native-stone fireplace and cozy personality. Just to the right, you'll transition into the most bright and vibrant chef's kitchen, replete with updated appliances, large kitchen island, volumes of custom cabinetry/storage, custom lighting fixtures and large adjacent pantry/laundry room. The huge windows invite in loads of natural light and the views from every inch of the kitchen are tall-pine extraordinary. Oh, if you love to cook and entertain, the magic is here! Just through the kitchen and you'll find more great and vibrant space...a sunroom engulfed with windows looking into the forest. If you'd like a formal dining room, game room, home office or den, this is your spot. Yes, it has a sweet little mini nursery to pamper your plants, year-round. Back through the kitchen and into the spacious back yard or journey into the uber-spacious master bedroom. You'll appreciate the large walk-in closets, mini-office, meticulously restored vintage wood stove and tall ceilings in the intimate space. Just beyond is a great master bath with large soaking tub and relaxing allure. Now, to the guest space. Up through the living room and you'll find three additional bedrooms, two baths and a bonus grandkids/storage room for all the extras. Each room has custom touches and two of the bedrooms have private balconies looking to the front of the home, adding to the amazing family feel of the property. One more bonus is the 1,800 square foot metal building with electrical service and concrete floors, resting to the north and east of the home. Use your imagination to decide how you'll use it. Keep in mind that it is only a few short minutes' drive from old town Pagosa Springs, it offers city water and natural gas, is one of only a very few properties on the entire road which are less than five acres in size (actually 3.19 acres) and the post-card-worthy drive to the home will be unique every single spectacular season of the year. This is truly a legacy opportunity in our incomparable community. Please plan to see it soon and VIEW THE VIRTUAL TOUR for more photos.
