River Lot Off Market

, The Source For Pagosa Real Estate, C: , Mike, - : As you enter San Juan River Ranch, you will be immediately impressed with this phenomenal setting. Pause along the bridge where it crosses the river, to enjoy the upstream view of the river rolling over the large boulders and downstream where Turkey Creek empties into the San Juan. From the bridge you look across to the 7-acre private lake and up to the rocky cliffs above the Ranch into the National Forest to the south. The Ranch has totally private access for both sides of the wild San Juan River for over a mile, to be enjoyed exclusively by the Owners and their guests. This peaceful setting with the sound of the river tumbling over the rocks and the breeze of a light wind through the trees along its banks creates an environment for a most appealing retreat.The San Juan River is easily accessed along its entire length within the Ranch by a trail system to accommodate hikers or ATV's. Rainbow, Browns, Brooks and Cutthroats love this stretch of private river. You will not find finer private fly fishing water in the area.Just across the bridge is a small lake with aerators and water flowing in from the river and exiting back into the San Juan, providing uniquely clean and clear trout habitat.
