It’s that time of year again here in the mountains when families throughout San Juans pack the kids in the car for a different type of hunt — the perfect Christmas tree.  It’s a magical experience. If you’ve never tried it, check out the information provided below and get out in the woods for an unforgettable experience.

The process is easy but the Forest Office is very strict in the rules enforcement. First of all you have to buy a permit. You can purchase a permit for only $8 at the Pagosa office or any of the offices listed below. Make sure you take your permit with you because you are required to attach the permit to the trunk of the tree before driving back into town.

Second, make sure you don’t cut a tree within 100 feet of any road or campground. Of course, don’t cut any trees in any designated Wilderness Areas, Wilderness Study Areas, Recreation Areas, Research Natural Area or tree plantations. Other areas specifically off limits are listed in the brochures below.

The Forest Service encourages you to choose the best tree for your family but certain trees are off limits. You MAY cut White Fir, Subalpine Fir and Spruce. You MAY NOT cut Ponderosa Pine or Douglas Fir. Check the brochures below for tree descriptions and illustrations.

Finding that perfect tree is the funnest part. Be sure to let the kids help.  Please take a shovel with you to dig out the snow around the tree and cut the tree as close to the ground as possible. Never cut down a tree taller than 20 feet!

The rest of the process you should know well since you’ve probably been through the ritual each year since you were a baby. Prop that tree up in the family room, heat up the hot chocolate, break out your family ornaments and cameras and create the memories that last a lifetime.

Below is a video we created on our first Pagosa Springs Christmas tree hunt. We start hunting our tree at minute 2:45 and cutting the tree at 4:00. I’ve included some helpful handouts from the Forest Service below the video. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Privacy and seclusion may be harder to find these days but we just listed an 11-acre parcel on the Blanco River that provides you the Pagosa getaway you’ve always dreamed of. The gorgeous piece has more than 800 feet of river frontage on the recently restored Blanco River about 11 miles south of downtown Pagosa Springs. More details below the pictures.

The river restoration project was beautifully done in this area. Check out the pictures below to see the three areas of the river on this property that feature impressive rock features for increased fish habitat and aesthetic beauty. Fish from your back yard or drive the short distance from the San Juan National Forest and the amazing high country trails in the region.  Be sure to contact us or a Pagosa Springs Realtor you are working with to schedule a tour of this riverfront property.

Brutally cold mornings with crystal blue skies are my favorite time to photograph following a Pagosa Springs snow storm. The snow and ice still clings to everything standing and you have a short window capture to beauty before the sun melts away the unique scenery. I shot these photos up Steven’s Lake Road Sunday morning with the hope of capturing the snow-caked mountains reflecting off Stevens Lake. But photography is a game of seconds sometimes. The clouds moved quickly to obscure Pagosa Peak so I gave up on the mountain shots and focussed instead on the trees. Enjoy.

All Things Pagosa is proud to announce the listing of the 26 REO (bank-owned) lots in the Lake Hatcher lakefront gated community of Coyote Cove located up Piedra Road just south of the North Pagosa Blvd. intersection. Lakeview lots start at only $15,000 and First Southwest Bank is offering seller financing (which is very difficult to obtain these days on vacant land). I met with First Southwest Bank president David Boyles this morning and he said that they will refund $15,000 to the first purchaser to build in the subdivision.

Coyote Cove is unique in that it is one of the few Pagosa Springs subdivisions with paved roads. It’s located on the east side of the gorgeous Lake Hatcher and a short walk to National Forest. Coyote Cove is also close to the shopping amenities of the City Market shopping plaza, the Pagosa Mountain Hospital and the new Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts. It has strong covenants to help protect your investment (see below). Feel free to peruse the prices, covenants, plats, etc below and call me today for a personal tour of these beautiful Pagosa Springs homesites.

PS:  A buyer can purchase the all 26 lots for just $1,400,000 or more than $100,000 off the sum total of the current listing prices.
