"Timbers" quality home but on 42 acres!
This beautiful home is approximately one year old and is situated on 40 acres in a gated community comprised of 30 estate lots, all 35 acres or larger. The landscape is made up of delicate prairie grass and native wildflowers, along with a scrub oak forest and unique rock outcroppings that cover a long ridge above the valley. Situated on a flag lot that backs to Castlewood Canyon State Park, the property is quiet and private. Never worry about future development invading your privacy or inhibiting your views!
The subdivision maintains its own private paved roads that were repaved within the last 6 months. Two private gates protect the subdivision at both its Highway 83 and Russellville Road entrances. The roads are plowed in the event of snow.
Very few Colorado properties provide the scope and diversity of mountain and forest views that you’ll see from this home. Situated at the highest elevation of any house in the immediate area, virtually every room in the home offers a unique and inspiring vista:
• See Pikes Peak and Castlewood Canyon State Park from the kitchen, master bedroom, children’s bedroom, huge wraparound deck, walkout basement, and the floor-to-ceiling picture window in the great room.
• See Mt. Evans and Longs Peak from the master bedroom and bath, guest bedroom, oversized deck, and the great room’s tandem double French doors.
• View the ponderosa forest and Denver city lights from the dining room, master bathroom, front porch, and children’s bedroom.
• Even the barn is equipped with large pictures windows facing Pikes Peak and Mt. Evans!
This home was carefully and thoughtfully designed by local architect David Elfring in concert with the homeowners. Architecturally, it is a prairie style home designed to fit in perfectly with the natural surroundings. Large windows are positioned on the southern side of the house, allowing the southern winter sun to warm each room and bask you in sunshine. In the summer, however, appropriately placed overhangs prevent the house from getting overheated while still making the most of available views. The oversized wraparound deck is partially covered, making it the perfect venue for entertaining guests or relaxing with a good book. Most importantly, this house was designed to be a family home. While it includes all of the luxury features you want from a high-end home, its elegant yet comfortable Colorado style makes it the perfect family retreat.
Wildlife
Wildlife abounds at this property. The Castlewood Canyon elk herd often frequents the property and the state park just over the fence, and frequently deer, antelope, coyote, falcons, owls and a variety of other birds can be seen.
