Sometimes I have the opportunity to see property that just has that special something. I tend to get calls quite often for a house on acreage zoned for horses with a barn and of course close to Colorado Springs. If you are not familiar with Colorado Springs that is not as easy as it sounds.
Heading North out of Colorado Springs I discovered, after 20 years of living here, a tucked area of rolling hills, trees, views and just 10 minutes North of town. Imagine 5.74 acres with a beautiful home, barn and this view out your window(s).
The second most requested feature is a year-round stream. The illusion that Colorado seems to create with its snow-capped peaks is that we will have a lot of surface water. We do not. Streams of any kind are very hard to find and having one is always a plus.
Set off with a split rail fence the house is a perfect Western Setting atmosphere. Behind the house, a picture frame view of Pikes Peak out the Great Room window awaits. Open, light and bright with a big country kitchen, nice laundy/mud room right off the garage.
With a main level master bedroom and terrific bath retreat, study/library right off the bedroom and multiple bedrooms (all with huge closests I might add) it is a treat.
Just outside and down the way sits the barn with fencing and cross fencing for happy horses. Huge ponderosa pine sit right on a bluff site with tree swing ideal to sit and listen to the stream gurgle as it meanders along.
Why do I like this house? There are only 4 homes available. The other three are $975,000, $1,250,000 and $1,750,000. With it listed at $695,000 it is priced right and a beautiful horse property close to town.
Commutable to Colorado Springs and Denver. What a find.
