This beautiful 3/2.5 is located on 35+ acres of private land with views of Pikes Peak and the Hwy 83 valley. With a seasonal pond, running trail, garden, chicken coop, greenhouse, workshop, and tractor garage, it is the ideal haven for the hobbyist, gardener, bird or wildlife enthusiast, stargazer, or those seeking peace and tranquility. Frequent visitors include elk, deer, turkey, and an occasional bear. You will enjoy the privacy of 35 acres, with your closest neighbor over half a mile away, while being just a short drive to both Denver and Colorado Springs. You get the best of both worlds: easy access to the cultural and entertainment venues of both cities, along with the peace and privacy of rural living. The property is conveniently located equidistant from Castle Rock, Parker, Monument, and North Springs, offering access to basic amenities, shopping, and recreation. It is also just minutes away from Lincoln Mountain Open Space, Greenland Open Space, Spruce Mountain, Palmer Lake, and the New Santa Fe Trail. The home is a beautiful two-level residence with the main level featuring the kitchen, pantry, dining room, living room, a half-bath for guests, and the primary bedroom and bath. The primary bedroom features oversized windows and a deck, offering views of the sunrise, sunset, and the southern exposure of the valley. The recently remodeled primary bathroom is spacious and features glass and indirect lighting. The Japanese-style bathtub stays hot as long as you care to soak and enjoy the views. The double-size shower offers a 24-inch rain head, shower head, and body jets. All the bathrooms in the house have a multi-function bidet. The updated kitchen complements the woodwork and new windows, featuring a granite counter for an elegant touch, along with stainless steel appliances and a glass-top stove. It faces wall-to-wall windows and a four-panel sliding glass door to the kitchen deck, which is accessible via a rainbow bridge to the central landscape feature: the granite rock formations and fountain. The walk-out basement is where the other two bedrooms and a recently remodeled full bath reside. It gives access to the new stamped concrete patio, recreation room, and a separate space ideal for a hot tub or fitness room. The large utility room offers abundant storage, a new boiler for the six zones of the hydronic radiant heat system, with a side arm for the water heater. There is a dedicated five-foot data cabinet for the home and property's wireless network (802.11ac), which includes home servers, ideal for expanding smart home capabilities with additional devices and services to complement the new house-wide Lutron smart blinds.
