Let’s be honest, most homes say “close to nature.” This one straight-up backs up to it. As in, step off your deck and you're in the San Juan National Forest. No trailhead parking lot. No crowds. Just trees, wildlife, and enough fresh air to make your lungs write thank-you notes. Inside, you’ve got 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open floor plan with ceilings so high you’ll consider taking up indoor drone flying. Natural light pours in like it’s getting paid, and the whole place feels like the grown-up version of that treehouse you always wanted. Need space for gear, skis, bikes, or your slightly aggressive snowblower? The attached 2-car garage has your back. And the concrete driveway means you're not playing “Guess Where the Ice Patch Is” all winter. You're just minutes from downtown Pagosa, hot springs, food, gear shops, civilization, all within striking distance. But honestly, you’ll probably spend more time on the deck, coffee in hand, wondering how you ever put up with streetlights and traffic noise. It’s not a McMansion. It’s better. It’s real. It’s wild. And it’s exactly what you’ve been pretending to look for on Zillow while avoiding emails. Come live like you mean it.
