Spectacular Custom Home on Acreage in Colorado Springs

One of the main reasons people move to Colorado Springs is the setting, which is why I’m thrilled to present this Spectacular Custom Home on Acreage in Colorado Springs! Living at the foot of Pikes Peak presents one of the most picturesque views in the Nation.  While always breathtaking, the view constantly changes, depending on the weather or the lighting on a particular day.  In the Spring, massive, shifting clouds fill the skies, and when the weather chills the grey or azure blue skies frame America’s Peak, crowned with snow.

Many of us who move to Colorado are slightly obsessed with these amazing views.  Front Range and Pikes Peak perspectives is the number one request we get as real estate professionals and fortunately, it’s easy to deliver.  No matter where you go in Colorado Springs, the mountains are so big that they are almost impossible to avoid.  In fact, they are the best way of navigating here. As long as you remember that the mountains are “West”, it’s pretty hard to get lost.  

So, when I get the opportunity to list a beautiful, award-winning home with some of the best views of Pikes Peak I’ve ever seen, I want to tell people about it!  Copperleaf homes built this stunning home in 2011 and it is stunning in every way.  The “Ensemble” floor plan is a spectacular ranch style plan, affording true, main level living and the entire back of the home is a wall of windows, bringing all the stunning beauty right inside.  

The home is filled with such beauty and gracious detail, it’s impossible to describe it adequately, but here are a few of the many features gracing this home: hand-troweled finishes on the soaring walls and ceilings give dimension and texture.  The beautiful hardwood floors on the main level draw you into the magnificent great room with floor-to-ceiling El Dorado stone fireplace and then into the kitchen, which is stunning to say the least.

The kitchen is a “People’s Choice” Parade of Homes award-winner in and features a huge L-shaped counter/breakfast island with a unique and beautiful granite counter running it’s full length.  The hue of the stone is reflected in the patina of the cabinets that have been carefully crafted by master carpenters.  Stainless appliances, a separate prep sink, wine cooler, custom refrigerator with matching wood exterior and cabinets with castled elevation and crown molding are only some of the unique and myriad details in the kitchen.

The views from the kitchen, dining nook and great room are unparallelled.  Nothing hinders the grandeur of the Front Range of the Rockies from greeting you as you sit in the room and then wander out to the full wrap-around composite deck.  The main level features a huge Master suite with fireplace that takes full advantage of the views and double walk in closets and a gorgeous 5-piece bath.

This impressive home continues to surprise as you explore the amazing formal dining room with crown molding, chandelier and soft accent lighting.   

The huge 4 car-garage and fully finished laundry room with granite-tile counters and rich wood cabinets round out the main level, as far as you know at first glance.  However, the home has a delightful secret.  There is a 23’ x 20’ hidden room above the garage which would be suitable as an office, game room or extra bedroom, only accessible from behind the custom bookshelf that slides away to reveal the stairway.  “Holy Cow Batman!” This could be the ultimate man-cave.

The walkout lower level continues to impress, with a massive, custom wet bar with stone counters, gorgeous home theater room and 3 additional bedrooms. The main seating area is spacious and is complemented with a stone fireplace.  Finally, there is a large, multi-purpose room that was designed as an exercise room but could easily be a game or craft room.

Outside, there is a patio with an outdoor fireplace to allow the owners to take advantage of the Summer evenings.  Imagine yourself talking, laughing and perhaps sharing a cocktail or S’mores with good friends.

Situated on 4 gently sloping acres, close enough to be a quick hop to everything, you also feel like you’re truly enjoying the beauty and solitude of Colorado.  

The builder is Copperleaf Homes, and they are currently utilizing the home as a model.  Copperleaf is a multiple award-winning builder and was recently nominated by the Better Business Bureau for the GE Johnson Ethics Award.  This is a distinction never held by a builder in El Paso County before and is something to consider when deciding on who you might choose to build your custom home.
