The Land — 35.52 Acres of Timber, Meadow & Lake Frontage
35.52 acres of timber, meadow and mountain views.
The Lay of the Land
The compound sits on a bench above the water, with the buildings arranged to hold the view west and north across the lake to Pagosa Peak and the north range of the San Juans. Open ground falls away toward the shoreline; timber closes in behind, which is what makes a 35-acre parcel feel entirely unobserved.
The Trees
Mature Ponderosa pines, golden aspen groves, blue spruce and native Gambel oak frame the ranch, creating a classic San Juan Mountain landscape with spectacular four-season colour.
Access and Boundaries
Paved and county-maintained County Road 400 (Fourmile Road) from town to the gate.

What the Acreage Gives You
Thirty-five acres is a deliberate size. It is enough to keep horses, hold privacy on every side and let wildlife move through undisturbed — and small enough that one person can genuinely maintain it, especially with the shop and the equipment available here.
It also does not stand alone. Because this is one of only 35 homesites inside Hidden Valley Ranch, the 35 acres you own are buffered by roughly 300 acres of common ground and 1,600 acres of low-density neighbours. The privacy is structural, not just a function of your own boundary.
Larger ranches in this country sound impressive and quietly become a full-time job. This is the size people end up wanting after they have owned one of each.
Seasons
The aspen groves turn through late September and into October. Snow generally holds from late autumn through spring at this elevation, which is precisely why Wolf Creek is buried every winter. Summer is green, mild and afternoon-thunderstorm reliable.
