About 157 S 6th Street
Welcome to Pagosa Manor—an incredible opportunity to own one of the original historic homes in Pagosa Springs, built in 1903 by a ship’s captain from Maine and meticulously restored to honor its remarkable past while embracing modern comfort. Perfectly perched on the hillside above town, this iconic property captures sweeping views of the San Juan Mountains, the San Juan River, Reservoir Hill, and the famous hot springs. From its elevated vantage point directly across from the River Walk, you’re just a short stroll to downtown restaurants, shops, and the healing mineral waters that make Pagosa Springs so beloved.
Steeped in character and local history, Pagosa Manor has been thoughtfully updated from top to bottom—including water lines, sewer lines, electrical, and roof—allowing the craftsmanship of the early 1900s to shine alongside modern upgrades. Inside, timeless details transport you to another era: intricate hardwood flooring, original windows with stained glass, a widow’s watch, custom built-ins, gingerbread trim, and period-inspired coffered ceilings and crown moldings. The kitchen’s copper accent hood, quartz countertops, and custom cabinetry create a warm yet refined gathering space, while a copper penny entry floor provides an unforgettable welcome. Flooring throughout features white oak, quartz tile, and ceramic tile, tying classic design with durability.
The home offers remarkable versatility with two kitchens, three dining areas, three living rooms, two laundry rooms, a butler’s pantry, and a dedicated office, making it ideal for a variety of living arrangements. Two lock-off spaces—including a private two-bedroom upper level with its own kitchen and laundry room—create the potential to live in the main residence while renting one or both units for 30+ day stays. The property has a rich legacy of hospitality, having served as a boarding house, restaurant, and bed & breakfast in years past. The original room numbers still remain on the doors today, a charming nod to its storied history.
Outdoor living is equally enchanting. A new covered front porch overlooks the river and hot springs—the perfect place to watch alpenglow settle over the mountains. The beautifully landscaped yard blooms with yellow roses, century-old lilac bushes, lilies, plum bushes, apple trees, aspens, maple trees, cedar trees, and poppies, all framed by a classic white picket fence. A majestic 100-year-old maple tree shades the outdoor patio and gathering areas, creating a peaceful garden retreat in the heart of town. Two covered porches provide multiple spaces to enjoy Pagosa’s four-season beauty.
Situated on two city lots, the property also offers the possibility of selling the second lot separately or exploring additional development potential. With the possibility of rezoning through the Town, this exceptional property could once again serve as a boutique bed & breakfast.
Sold fully furnished and turn-key, Pagosa Manor is more than a home—it’s a living piece of Pagosa Springs history. Even more remarkable, during restoration the current owners uncovered opera season passes dating back to 1896, a fascinating reminder that the original owners also operated an opera house.
Lovingly restored to its glory days, Pagosa Manor invites you to become the next steward of a truly legacy property in one of the most coveted locations in town.
