NEAR NATURE. NEAR PERFECT. A hidden gem near the heart of Colorado Springs, this University Heights home feels private, peaceful, and quietly tucked away—yet remains moments from conveniences. Set on a private cul-de-sac backing to the 500+ acres of Austin Bluffs Open Space with 10+ miles of trails, this custom walkout ranch captures beautiful Pikes Peak, Front Range, and rock formation views. Designed for comfortable living and easy entertaining, the home features 6 bedrooms, 5 baths, 4 fireplaces, radiant heat throughout, and an oversized 3-car garage with radiant heat. Main level features travertine stone flooring through the LR, DR, kitchen, primary bedroom, and primary bath. Enjoy a spacious great room with stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings and built-ins; formal dining with coffered ceiling and soft indirect lighting; and a true gourmet kitchen with double ovens, commercial-style gas range, exterior ventilation, and features serious cooks appreciate. Also on the main level are a private study with fireplace, vaulted wood beam ceilings and built-ins, and a generous primary suite with fireplace, coffered ceiling, soft indirect lighting, 5-piece bath, walk-in closet, and deck access. A custom curved staircase reveals the spacious walkout lower level, where family and recreation areas, wet bar, theater room, bedrooms, and access to large covered outdoor living spaces create flexibility. A private upper loft/guest suite with its own full bath adds versatility for guests, multigenerational living, studio space, or quiet retreat. Outdoor living is a highlight, with expansive deck space, large covered patio, and places to relax, gather, and enjoy the views, trees, wildlife, and open space beyond. A substantial natural stone, full-flow water feature adds a calming focal point to the backyard setting. Private, spacious, and connected to nature—yet minutes from UCCS, University Village, Garden of the Gods, I-25, shopping, dining, and conveniences.
Garden Ranch, located between Austin Bluffs Parkway and North Academy Boulevard, is a residential and outdoor-oriented Colorado Springs neighborhood with a foothills backdrop and a web of greenbelt trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Austin Bluffs Parkway and North Academy Boulevard crossroads, where everyday errands cluster beside low-slung plazas and steady commuter flow. Mid-century ranch homes and later infill sit on curving streets, with mature trees and pocket parks shaping the streetscape. The Garden Ranch YMCA acts as a community anchor with courts, pools, and classes. Nearby, the University of Colorado Colorado Springs adds a collegiate edge and cultural programming. Views toward Pikes Peak and quick trail connections keep the pace grounded in the landscape.
