Ah, The Library Home... As it’s affectionately known, this mountain hideaway is a place of quiet refinement and thoughtful craftsmanship. Once a humble 1980s dwelling, it has been utterly reimagined — the owners sparing no expense in their devotion to beauty and comfort. Outfitted with brand new state-of-the-art heating and cooling, fully foam-insulated, and cloaked in rough-sawn, dead-standing spruce harvested from the San Luis Valley, the home breathes both mountain ruggedness and modern elegance. A sweeping roundabout welcomes you — ample parking, a gracious sense of arrival. The custom patio, with its exquisite pavers, is framed by a fully irrigated lawn, a careful drip system, and stands of mature trees whispering in the breeze. The property is fenced in black steel and electric — secure, striking, and timeless — with a custom lean-to barn and tack room awaiting your horses, or perhaps your motorized ones. Every inch of these five usable acres invites purpose and pleasure, with a tidy storage shed centered at the heart of the drive. Step inside, and the story deepens. White rough-sawn oak floors underfoot. New black custom Marvin windows framing the mountain light. High-grade quartz countertops. Imported Italian Saltillo tile. The master bath, a sanctuary: triple-headed walk-in shower, sunroof above, rain shower cascading like a mountain spring. The kitchen is as functional as it is artful — dove-tailed, soft-close cabinetry, a butler’s pantry with second sink, imported brass handles from England, and custom lighting hand-fashioned by LightTexture. Every Bosch appliance — nearly new — hums with precision. And all of this… just five minutes from City Market, ten to downtown. The Library Home rests within one of Pagosa’s most distinguished neighborhoods, paved and peaceful, once belonging to one of the valley’s oldest ranching families. The Library Home… a place where craftsmanship meets quiet legacy. A home not merely built, but composed.
