Leland Riley, Jann C Pitcher Real Estate, CELL: 970-946-3856, leeriley@isellpagosa.com, www.isellpagosa.com: A mere 2.5 miles off US Highway 84 in the pristine and unparalleled Chromo River Valley is your opportunity to own the property of a lifetime. Steep in History, this Homestead was lived in by Bernice & Irwin Crowley, whose father was a Generational Settler from the late 1800's, once owning over 18,000 acres, establishing the Crowleys as a foundational ranching family in the region, focusing on raising cattle and horses. Location wise, you are far enough out for peace and serenity, yet close enough to enjoy all the conveniences of Pagosa Springs or Chama (25 minutes to either). 1.8 million acres of National Forest to discover is located just 4 miles away. This one of one property has magical appeal. To start, it lies on 18 acres with approximately 1700 feet (just under 1/3 of a mile) of "improved" spring-fed mountain river and phenomenal trout fishing. An abundance of wildlife, including Elk, Deer, Bear, Fox, Eagles, Hawks (essentially a natural bird aviary) due to river proximity, is always magnificent to see. The wildlife here is constant. The open and airy 4-bedroom, 3 bathroom "bungalow" style home was completely remodeled with top level design/fixtures/lighting in 2019 and includes 5 separate outdoor decks. A highlight is the "Stairway to Heaven" an 80' walkway from the rear deck to an elevated 12x15 deck overlooking the river. The home is distinctive yet modern with windows and views in every direction. Solid broadband internet and cell service available. To top it off, all 18 acres are very usable with approximately 65% irrigated Hayfields creating Ag status and low taxes. This truly is a very private sanctuary!! Due to the unique zoning of this property, the home may also be purchased on 9 acres of riverfront land, at a reduced price.
