This is a truly rare opportunity to own exactly one acre of land in the middle of Colorado Springs offering privacy, space, & breathtaking mountain views while still enjoying city convenience. Zoned for 2 horses, complete with a barn, this property delivers a lifestyle that’s nearly impossible to find. Inside, the home is warm, inviting, & thoughtfully updated. The main-level family area features newer laminate flooring, custom built-ins, & an entertainment center designed for everyday living & entertaining. Custom barn doors lead to the laundry area, adding character & charm. The home has fresh interior paint, custom window treatments, newer A/C system, newer roof, a stunning updated kitchen with abundant, thoughtfully designed cabinetry, wood flooring throughout the upper levels & bedrooms, & upgraded bathrooms. A standout feature is the lockable main-level bedroom with an attached bath & private exterior entrance, offering exceptional income potential or ideal accommodations for a mother-in-law suite, or guest quarters. Step outside & take in stunning mountain views from the living room, family room, & front porch—perfect for enjoying peaceful mornings, unforgettable sunrises, & quiet Colorado sunsets. The corner lot is framed by mature trees, includes a basketball court, & offers plenty of space to relax, play, or expand your outdoor vision. Additional highlights include a stand-up crawl space recently upgraded with crushed concrete floors, providing accessible & ample storage with easy HVAC access, along with an oversized garage featuring a dedicated workshop, perfect for hobbies, storage or projects. This is more than a home, it’s a rare lifestyle property offering space, privacy, income potential, & sweeping scenery in a location where acreage is almost unheard of. Homes like this simply don’t exist anymore—where acreage, views, flexibility, & modern updates come together in the heart of the city while still offering the peace & quiet of true Colorado living.
