Tucked among towering ponderosa pines on 5 sprawling acres, this custom colonial-inspired home offers the privacy and tranquility that make Black Forest one of Colorado Springs' most coveted places to live. Set back from the road, the property provides room to breathe, mature trees in every direction, and a timeless & charming design. Inside, you'll experience craftsmanship rarely found in today's homes. Rich hardwood floors, custom wood paneling, solid-core doors, extensive built-ins, and Pella windows create warmth and character throughout. Two wood-burning fireplaces anchor the main and basement living spaces, while the kitchen features black slate floors, butcher block countertops, a breakfast bar, prep sink, and abundant space for gathering. The finished attic with custom bookshelves creates a one-of-a-kind library or office, while two laundry rooms simplify everyday living. The primary suite features custom built-in shelving within the walk-in closet, and the lower level includes a wine cellar along with a versatile flex room ideal for a gym or additional storage. The outdoor spaces were designed with entertaining in mind. An impressive herringbone brick-paver covered patio with a built-in grill and bar sink overlooks the wooded landscape, creating an incredible place to host family and friends. The fenced yard, garden area, paved driveway, attached 2 car garage, detached 2 car garage, cement plank siding, new septic tank, and 200-amp electrical service reflect the thoughtful planning found throughout the property. When it's time to explore, you're just minutes from Black Forest Regional Park, Pineries Open Space, and the Black Forest Section 16 Partnership Trail, offering miles of hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and dog-friendly trails. Enjoy nearby favorites including Black Forest Brewing Company and Mountain View Cafe all while remaining close to shopping major highways, and highly regarded Academy School District 20.
