Public Remarks: World class home building site property with outstanding views, water rights for irrigation available and the correct zoning to have horses and a country lifestyle in the City of Fountain. Paved, maintained roads to your front door, municipal water and electric to the property edge makes this an easy to build situation. Enjoy the wildlife and beautiful green fields surrounding your home due to irrigation from the Fountain mutual ditch. Choose from several different building sites, on the 14 plus acres, many of which would allow you to see the entire front Range to the north and clear down to the twin peaks near LaVeta. The property has already been planned for four lots that would allow you to build multiple homes For family and or sell several lots to pay for the majority of the property. Much of the planning and development costs have already been done, approval from various municipalities has been received all that is waiting is for your vision. The good news is it this is within 15 minutes of downtown Colorado Springs. Easy commute times and a relaxing country lifestyle make this a very difficult property to reproduce or replace.

Large Lot Agricultural/Residential District
The large lot agricultural/residential district is designed to accommodate very low density single family residential uses on large lots that may accommodate livestock at specified density limits as set forth in chapter 17.18 and allow land to remain in agricultural production. The purpose of the LLR zoning district is to promote the continuance of single family neighborhoods by: Allowing for larger lot development that assists in retaining the rural character of Fountain; Allowing for agricultural and home-based businesses to help provide homeowners with additional economic means for maintaining permanent residency; Ensuring that new development retains the natural conditions of the environment and land.
