Pinon Hills Ranch offers larger acreage parcels in the high desert
It’s a fascinating drive down Trujillo Road out of Pagosa Springs, watching the terrain change from sub-alpine to desert in just a few miles. Leave behind the Ponderosa Pines and Gamble Oak of Pagosa to enter a world of Junipers and sagebrush.
Piñon Hills Ranch is a distinctive, ranch-oriented neighborhood located approximately 13 miles south of Pagosa Springs, Colorado along Trujillo Road. This master-planned community is built around large-acre parcels, an emphasis on outdoor lifestyle, and quality infrastructure, making it a standout choice for buyers seeking space, privacy, and direct access to some of the region’s best natural settings.
One of the defining features of Piñon Hills Ranch is its 35+ acre home sites, offering buyers room for custom homes, ranch facilities, and outdoor pursuits. These large lots are ideal for a range of land uses, including single-family homes, equestrian activities, and recreational space for personal enjoyment.
Because of the generous acreage, parcels within the neighborhood often have varied terrain — from open meadowland with wide-open skies to wooded ridges that offer shaded build sites and panoramic views. Many owners choose to build homes that take advantage of these vistas or preserve their property’s natural character by locating structures among the trees.
Infrastructure & Community Features
Piñon Hills Ranch is developed with careful attention to infrastructure: the neighborhood utilizes underground utilities, guaranteed domestic water, and maintained gravel roads, including snow removal, to support year-round access and comfortable living. Utilities are underground and the gravel roads are maintained by the POA.
Outdoor living is at the heart of the Piñon Hills Ranch lifestyle. Many parcels offer private access to the San Juan River, allowing residents to enjoy fishing, riverside relaxation, and water-related recreation right from the neighborhood.
Piñon Hills Ranch is zoned to support equestrian uses and encourages an outdoor lifestyle. Dedicated foot and horse easements connect many parcels to adjacent scenic lands, making the community attractive to horse owners, hunters, and outdoor adventurers.
