The Space:

This 4-BDRM, 4-BA home in true ranch country imparts the sense of rural tranquility you’ve been craving, but within easy driving distance of Colorado Springs and the many attractions and outdoor adventures offered by the Pikes Peak region of the Rockies. In this home, great care has been taken to create an atmosphere of contemporary comfort amidst décor that reflects the rugged character of the Colorado range, and the space has been configured for the optimal enjoyment of groups of up to 10.



Tucked among a smattering of trees, this home enjoys a refreshing, woodsy feel, but it’s poised upon a gentle hill, affording glorious, sweeping views of the mountains and the surrounding open range. The home was built to make the most of its dramatic views with a wide wooden deck wrapping around all four sides of the dwelling.



Designed in a common mountain house style, the primary living space is situated on the second (deck) level. Climb a set of exterior stairs or use a convenient ramp to reach the deck and your front door. You’ll find a three-car garage on the ground floor, as well as plentiful outdoor parking. Stepping through the main entrance, you’ll appreciate the open concept great room that provides an ideal environment for creating quality “together” time. A stylish, cozy seating area is centered around a fireplace that is ornamental only, with casual but sumptuous seating you’ll love sinking into after a day of activity. A row of floor-to-ceiling windows lines the back wall and incorporates a sliding glass door to the deck with outdoor seating and a grill. A large corner-mounted TV is visible throughout the space, including a casual dining area with seating for 4 and a large, open kitchen with a long breakfast counter for 4.



A suite of stainless steel appliances includes a full-size range, French door refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher, plus a toaster, coffee maker, and chef’s knives. A generous island with a built-in sink supplements counter space. Adjacent to the kitchen you’ll find a separate, more formal dining area with seating for 6. Rounding out this level, you’ll find a laundry room with full-size washer and dryer, plus two bedrooms and two baths. The larger bedroom includes a king bed, fireplace that is ornamental only, and sliding doors to the deck. A luxurious en suite bath provides a soaking tub with water jets, two sink vanities, a shower stall, and a toilet tucked discreetly behind its own door. A cheerful second bedroom includes a queen bed and a desk. A separate bathroom includes a tub/shower combo.



Upstairs, a spacious, airy TV room under a peaked ceiling includes a huge, inviting L-shaped sofa. Two additional seating nooks branch off of this space, each providing bright, windowed areas to talk or read – and one with a telescope! An office space includes an executive desk. This level also includes a bedroom with 2 twin beds and a bathroom with a shower/tub combo.



On the ground-floor level, you’ll find even more living space. A spacious room with a ping-pong table includes sliding glass doors that lead to the outdoors. You’ll also find one bathroom with shower/tub combo, and a bedroom with a queen bed and large mirrored closet.

The barn on the property is off limits.

Colorado Springs and its environs offer no shortage of entertainments for every personality, whether you’re interested in culture and the arts, outdoor adventures like fishing, rafting, hunting and ziplining, or once-in-a-lifetime glimpses of our majestic natural world like the Garden of the Gods or Pike’s Peak. In the immediate area, you’ll find supermarkets and casual dining options in nearby Calhan (a 15-minute drive) and Falcon (23 minutes). This home provides the perfect balance of restful quietude and an endless menu of daytrips when you want them.
