You don’t have to choose between space and convenience—you get both in a way that’s nearly impossible to find. Set on 10 private, tree-filled acres with awesome mountain views, this fully renovated property offers the serenity of rural living just 20 minutes from Downtown Colorado Springs and mere minutes to Downtown Fountain and Mesa Ridge Shopping area, and so close to all major military bases. You can’t find more acreage like this, not this close, and not with this much character. No rooftops. Just trees, sky, and views! This home has been completely transformed—every system and surface touched with intention and quality. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and even the well have all been replaced or upgraded. Metal roof and all-new finishes ensure peace of mind and modern comfort throughout. The bright, open Great Room where natural light pours through large windows with wide-plank luxury vinyl floors, and the perfect kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas range, and an island all make this old farm house modern! The main-level primary suite includes a walk-in shower, double vanity, and walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and a large deck with views of Pikes Peak complete the main level. The walk-out basement—with its own entrance, wet bar, full bath and a half, laundry, and a glass garage door that brings the outside in—adds incredible flexibility. Whether you're creating a guest suite, home gym, office, studio, or rental space, this is ready to meet your needs. Outside, a large barn/garage and six lean-to sheds are ready for animals, equipment, or creative space. With a well that supports domestic, livestock, and irrigation use, this is Colorado living with space to roam—and the city always within reach!
