If you are looking for a fabulous, spacious, 'spoil yourself' home... nestled on the side of Pikes Peak with tall pine trees, wildflowers, wildlife, and world class fishing, hiking... all minutes from Colorado Springs, look no further!
Our beautiful home is in the perfect location...7 minutes West of Colorado Springs, so close to everything, but in a peaceful setting with tall trees and lots of privacy. To the West is Woodland Park, a 5 minute drive to a newer Walmart and lots of other quaint shops. We are 2 minutes from the mountain town of Green Mountain Falls with a small fishing lake, new playground, summer pool and a few wonderful restaurants. What else could you ask for!
We welcome you to our 3200 square foot, custom, mountain home, furnished with two bedrooms upstairs, including a fantastic, huge master suite with breathtaking views, king size comfy bed, sitting area, surround sound Smart TV and a custom private bathroom with soaking tub, double sinks and a 12 jet - waterfall shower! All linens are ON the beds when you arrive, so you do not have to begin your trip by making the beds!
The second bedroom upstairs is my favorite bedroom in the house! It is spacious, with vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan, special lighting, a twin size bed that easily converts in to a king size bed. The closet in this room is huge with lots of shelves. This bedroom also has a Pella slider which takes you out to the back deck and incredible views of Pikes Peak.
Enjoy the 'living' area that spans the living room, dining room (with fireplace) and a cozy sitting area...all on the upper level with hardwood floors. This area is full of windows with amazing views of Ute Pass, has good lighting and a dining room table that sits 7, multiple couches, games and it’s just a wonderful space to hang out as a group. Enjoy a book or a movie from our collection....there is lots of room to spread out and get lost in the mountains.
The house is tech savy with high speed, wireless internet, and multiple Smart TV's for streaming Netflix, Amazon Prime & more.
The kitchen was fully updated several years ago and has beautiful cream colored cabinets, every single utensil or kitchen gadget you might need, dishwasher, refrigerator (with ice maker) and a high end gas stove. There is a large pantry built into the cabinets for storage, On one end of the kitchen is an office area with a built-in desk just in case you needed to do a little work while you’re here :-), and a very cool and unique bar with four bar stools that separate the kitchen from the living room. It truly is an amazing space! The kitchen has a door that goes to the back deck where you can have dinner or Breakfast with plenty of room outside for a lovely happy hour in the sun 🌞
Now we move on to the lower level of the house...which has the third, large bedroom (Queen size bed, single futon in sitting area) plus a fabulous recreation / living room area (darts, huge TV, surround sound) with a comfy couch and the best feature of all....a custom bar for entertaining! AndThereis a bath downstairs with a shower and a separate laundry room with a sink and front load washer and dryer.
You can exit the house from four different areas....all leading to either a raised deck or private flagstone patio. There is nice patio furniture to enjoy the outdoors, gas grill (you provide the propane) fire pit and a very private setting for you to relax and enjoy the Rocky Mtns. There is parking for two cars down in our driveway which is on the street and to get to the house you walk up a long set of Flagstone steps (see photos). We are not handicap accessible at this point. The house sits on 2 acres so you have lots of privacy and will truly feel like you've escaped to the mountains! We also have wildlife at times, including a family of deer, lots of birds, possibly a fox sighting. Our house sits on the side of Pikes Peak and the temperature is generally 10° cooler than Colorado Springs during the summer. Most houses in our area do not have air-conditioning because it is just not needed due to the lower temperatures. We also have lots of windows and doors that you can open to get a cross breeze and three ceiling fans.
The house is baby proofed with outlet covers and a locking gate at the top of the log stairs. A full size Graco highchair and play and pack are Available upon request only. Please message me if you will need these prior to your reservation.
There is so much to do in this area with wonderful quaint restaurants, waterfall hiking and a lake with a new play ground, fishing and ducks, plus the city of Colorado Springs is only 10 minutes away! Skiing is easy, jump on highway 24 and your only a hour and 1/2 away. Rafting is 45 minutes to the Royal Gorge, horseback riding is right up the hiway in Woodland Park, swimming is 2 minutes away in Green Mtn Falls and snowmobiling is right around the corner too.
We invite you to enjoy our home-away-from-home! We love it... and we know you will too!
