Welcome to Moonlit Sage Ranch located inside premiere gated community of Pinon Hills this 1500 +/- acre masterplanned community focused on recreational hunting for the avid outdoorsman and equestrian enthusiast. This 175 acre ranch was originally held aside as the premier parcel for the original developer of Pinon Hills. The developers always pick the best to keep for themselves. This 175 acre ranch was built in a beautiful mountain setting, extremely quiet with spectacular views, river access and includes multiple ponds and backs up directly to thousands of acres of national forest and also Ute Indian land ( the Ute Indians are well know for their incredible game management) this lot was held back for the original developer and the developers always hold the best lots for themselves. From the property there is a private entrance to the national forest only available to the owners within Pinon Hills Community, not accessible to the public. The ranch also has newly built 1900 sqft 3 bd/2 bth barndominium, plus corrals and storage shed all with incredible views of the Mountains Peaks of Pagosa Springs, CO. The ranch has a 28,000 gallon rainwater catchment system with full filtration an UV filters, (great water), the ranch runs on a solar system with a back up generator and fuel tank for easy fills, and new split level AC! Under ground power is also available but just not needed. Pinion Hills is a master planned community with one of the best HOA's I've ever seen in my opinion. This HOA currently allows hunting with bow or crossbow and Air Rifles only (all calibers) . When you enter the ranch there is also a 12 acre private common area directly on the San Juan River (both sides) complete with Gazebo for picnics, kids birthdays etc and fantastic fishing for any age to enjoy, every spring the HOA stocks the ponds on the ranch. Through out the ranch there are common areas for horseback riding with a maintained trial that goes around the 1500 +/- acres for riding the horses and then from there you may head directly into the national forest for absolute endless riding and no having to tailer the horses. So nice to have that feature. The HOA also provide year round road maintenance and snow removal. Most of the ranches have a cistern or some do have drilled a well for water and the HOA provides you with 1000 gallons a month of FREE water and it's delivered for those that just want a cistern. The power is all underground, no power lines blocking your views. The hunting inside the ranch is nothing short of incredible as the ranch is a favorite spot for the Mule deer and Elk to winter because of the mild climate, and elevation with an unlimited food source and lots of water for the animals and then because the ranch backs to National Forest and the hunting continues but now with rifle if you choose and Colorado offers OTC Elks tags on 2nd and 3rd rifle. This 175 acre property is literally the only piece in the entire community that gets land owner Mule Deer tags and the Deer and Elk are just everywhere. The owner has received 3/4 mule deer tags every year which he always uses one and sells the others. These tags are ALWAYS in demand. Also for the hunting on the property there is just the best looking tree stand that is spray foam insulated and very comfortable and it was placed in the perfect position for a perfect bow shot of 55-65 yards directly over looking one of the many ponds. It really is your own private hunting spot as no other owner can qualify for the land owner tags and also why there in such demand. You are the only one that would qualify for land owner tags. (Owner financing with very attractive terms are available for qualified buyers) Hunting, fishing, mountain biking, hiking, or whatever your favorite outdoor activity is ........
