11740 Baca Road

Wake up to an extraordinary southern panorama stretching from east to west, with Pikes Peak sitting almost perfectly in the center of the view. Morning coffee on the wraparound deck comes with changing light across the foothills and regular visits from deer, foxes and hummingbirds. In the evening, watch the sun fade across the mountains before settling into the five-person hot tub under a Colorado night sky. This is mountain living without giving up the practical side of everyday life. Located in Kings Valley Estates just off Highway 285, the home offers convenient access to Denver while putting some of Colorado’s best outdoor recreation close to home. Staunton State Park, Buffalo Creek, the Colorado Trail with miles of hiking and mountain biking are all nearby. Head southwest on 285 and you are already on the road toward Kenosha Pass, Breckenridge, Buena Vista, Salida and the high country. And unlike many foothills properties, everyday mountain living here is remarkably straightforward. The neighborhood includes community water and sewer, the driveway is paved, the road is regularly maintained and plowed, high-speed internet keeps working from home practical, and the home is served by award winning Jeffco Public Schools in Conifer, with the school bus stopping right outside. Inside, the house is designed around the view. Vaulted ceilings, expansive windows and abundant natural light keep the mountain landscape connected to the main living spaces. The upper level brings together the living room, kitchen and dining area with the primary suite, private bath and walk-in closet, plus a bright sunroom that works equally well as a hobby room, reading space or home office. Step directly outside onto the wraparound deck and the view becomes part of the living space. The lower level provides valuable separation, with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, laundry and a comfortable family room. New carpet and new LVP flooring in the downstairs family room give the home a fresh feel, while the layout creates plenty of flexibility for guests, working from home, hobbies or simply having a second living space away from the main floor. The home has been extensively updated, including refreshed bathrooms, stainless-steel appliances, new interior and exterior lighting, an energy-efficient wood-burning stove and chimney, updated deck railings, reinforced decking for the hot tub and a fenced yard. What makes this property special is not any one feature. It is the combination: the expansive mountain view, abundant wildlife, outdoor living space, immediate access to Colorado’s outdoors, Jeffco schools and the practical conveniences that make mountain living easy. Denver is still within reach. The mountains are already home.
