About this site

Discover Pagosa Homes is an independent local guide to Pagosa Springs and life in Archuleta County, Colorado. The site is informational only.

The five cornerstone guides are the spine: moving here, wells and septic and mountain roads, neighborhoods, the cost of owning a mountain home, and second homes or cabins. Each piece is written to be used — scannable, sourced, and honest about what a weekend in town does not show you.

Specific local facts are tied to public documents, county and town pages, utility rules, and named reporting. Sources sit at the end of every guide. Where a number could not be verified, the writing stays general or is marked for a later check. Fees, mill levies, and rental rules move; recheck the live page before you treat a figure as current.

Field notes are for shorter updates that do not belong in a cornerstone guide — a hard winter week, a river that comes up, a correction.

Start with the moving guide if you are still deciding. Read wells, septic, propane, and roads before you look at acreage. If you are comparing west-of-town to Highway 84 or a cabin you only visit, start with neighborhoods and the second-home guide.
