All of the comforts of home await you in the fully furnished designer kitchen featuring maple cabinets, granite counter tops, and ceramic tile floors bringing the colors of the southwest inside. Enjoy a freshly-brewed cup of coffee or hot cocoa or a refreshing glass of iced tea as you sit in the all glass sunroom and watch as the deer graze nearby or enjoy the night sky with the stars glistening brightly above.
Enjoy a hike along the creek down in the canyon where brilliant red Indian Paintbrush flowers and succulent strawberries can be found in the summer. Or pack a lunch and hike all day on the 100 acres and never see another soul except for maybe deer, elk, bobcats, or bald and golden eagles. It is truly a park-like setting and included in your home away from home.
Other activities in the area include the Fossil Beds, Cripple Creek historic mining and gambling town, Pikes Peak region with the Cave of the Winds, Santa's Workshop, Cliff Dwellings and the Cog Railway, skiing in Breckenridge, Royal Gorge bridge, white water rafting, and fishing, all within an hour's drive.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1994
My name is Kathy McGregor and I am a Colorado native. I have been fortunate enough to travel to 14 other countries but always end up back in Colorado because of its magnificent beauty and my love of the outdoors which Colorado is famous for. My late husband & I purchased our property in 1994. We weren't looking for 100 acres, but absolutely fell in love with this land. We knew as soon as we saw it, that it was what we had been looking for for the last 2 years. There are canyons to hike, mountains to climb, deer, elk, bear, mountain lions, bobcats, eagles, hawks, blue jays, tiny mountain blue birds....wildlife abounds, a small creek to enjoy, many beautiful wild flowers, trees & scrub oak all combining together to make a magical place. We built our retirement, dream home in 1997 along with the help of my brother, Mom & Dad. Many hours of love, happiness & fun when into each and every room and you can feel the warmth & love as you walk into the home. As always, life changes and I chose not to live in the home by myself. I feel very fortunate to have this incredible land and home and wanted to share it with others. So in 2004, I turned it into a vacation home allowing others to enjoy the Colorado mountains while staying in a beautiful home. I know you, too, will enjoy it as much as I and others have.
Why the Owner Chose Cripple Creek
My property and home are centrally located. You can be in Denver in less than 2 hours, Colorado Springs and Canon City in approximately an hour.
