Escape to Country Living in Colorado. Welcome to your perfect retreat from city life. This charming, recently updated ranch sits on 5.2 acres, zoned for horses, and backs up to Air Force Academy property, offering the peace and privacy you’ve been dreaming of. Just minutes from shopping, award-winning District 38 schools, and modern conveniences, this home strikes the ideal balance between tranquil country living and modern comfort. Step inside to a welcoming open floor plan with recent updates, including fresh interior and exterior paint, new kitchen appliances, upgraded lighting, wood laminate flooring, new carpet, and beautifully renovated bathrooms. The main floor provides easy, ranch-style living, with large skylights bringing in loads of natural light. The spacious kitchen opens to a walk-in pantry and laundry room, while the great room—complete with a cozy wood-burning stove—flows directly to the deck and hot tub. A sunny, versatile flex space office/sunroom completes this country haven. The master suite boasts a newly updated en suite bathroom and two walk-in closets, giving you all the space you need. The lower level features a freshly upgraded full bath supporting three additional bedrooms and direct access to the oversized garage, which includes a large finished storage/exercise room and 220V power. Outside, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the local mountains and northern Colorado Springs--the night lights are awe inspiring! With two included 10x20 storage sheds, this property has plenty of space for all your outdoor gear, and the 5.2 acres provide the option to subdivide and build a second dwelling, pending County approval. This home also benefits from recent upgrades including a new water heater (2015), roof (2017), and rear deck and exterior stairs (2019). Country living doesn’t get much better than this—secluded yet close to the amenities you need. A rare find--don’t miss this amazing "ranchette"! Showing as First Right of Refusal.
