57 w blue lake drive

Oh, you are in for real treat! Located only a short distance from historic Old Town Pagosa Springs and a short drive to the tranquil Echo Lake State Recreation Area, this stunning, custom mountain retreat is "extra" everything. Resting on a private hilltop, your eyes will wander between the tall pines, mighty Pagosa Peak, and a lovely forest meadow that welcomes local wildlife. As you approach, you’ll get a taste of the hand-hewn timber frame and covered deck that make this a postcard stunner. With a rare three-car garage, you can bring all your gear and toys with plenty of room to spare. Plus, the house is ready to manage from a distance with app-controlled thermostat, door locks, security system/cameras, and roof heaters. Fresh air, alpine breezes, four distinctively magnificent seasons, and three private acres provide extra room to spread out and enjoy your mountain lifestyle. Step inside this Eddie Dale-built signature home and take in this single-story beauty’s inviting personality and extensive upgrades. Warm woods, hickory floors, a flowing floor plan, and tall, exposed timber-frame ceilings invite you to settle-in to mountain-cozy goodness, or invite your friends for lively entertainment. The house was designed both to pamper and to play. The expansive living room features a dry-stack stone fireplace with a chunky mantle and wall-to-wall windows that draw your eyes to the pine-covered hills. Flow from the grand living room into the cozy dining room with adjacent outdoor deck. Enjoy the tree-house feel from the master suite as well, either cozied up in front of the custom copper fireplace surround or perched among the pine tops on an intimate deck. The master suite features walk-in his and hers closets, soaking tub, dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and loads of crafted tile. Plumbing and electrical fixtures are upgraded throughout the home. Each of the 2 guest bedroom suites is filled with natural light and charm, with private baths and ample closet space. Fine finishes, including aspen tongue and groove ceilings in the living room and sturdy Alderwood doors and trim throughout, create a welcoming environment for you and your guests. The kitchen is a functional masterpiece with stunning leather-look countertops, slab granite-top island, and hearty hickory cabinets. Enjoy your culinary time with the sizeable walk-in pantry, brand new Wolf microwave, newer upgraded KitchenAid appliances, and gas cook top with stainless steel hood. Your morning can start slow in the delightful breakfast nook, replete with views of the east range San Juan peaks and Squaretop Mountain, or step outside into the glass enclosed sunroom with solar shades to observe all of the amazing wildlife activity that surrounds this property. A few steps further across the flagstone patio and you can enjoy a spacious outdoor deck with custom ambient lighting that makes evening star-gazing a delight. On the West facing side of the home, a covered Man Cave/BBQ area with wood burning stove makes for all-season fun. Also, the home comes with an automatic whole-house generator. Celebrate the beauty of Colorado in the natural, low-maintenance landscaping with ranchette style fencing. The south-facing gravel driveway encourages winter snows to melt away while low maintenance features including heated roof eaves, TREX decking, and stamped, colored concrete help you spend your time enjoying your holiday in the 2.8 million acres of National Forest and wilderness that surround our friendly village.
