Property Description
Wake up to breathtaking mountain views from nearly every room, and listen to the soft rush of Hardscrabble Creek. Step outside and find yourself on the edge of over 800 acres of private access to the national forest offering boundless opportunity for hiking, hunting, snowshoeing, or simply wandering beneath towering pines. This move-in ready mountain sanctuary features 3 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a dedicated home office in the fully finished basement. Blending modern amenities with timeless mountain charm, this home has been thoughtfully designed and updated with radiant heat, A/C, all-new light fixtures, kitchen pullouts, a high-efficiency boiler, new septic and leach field with observatory ports. A brand-new roof and fresh siding ensure low-maintenance living for years to come. The oversized, covered back porch is a haven for peaceful mornings and golden-hour sunsets, while a secluded perch in the backyard offers the perfect spot to watch elk pass through the trees, or marvel at the notorious starlit Colorado sky. The oversized, insulated two-car garage includes a well-equipped workshop, utility sink, and generous storage, with an adjacent shed offering space for outdoor gear, tools, or seasonal items. High-speed Starlink Internet ensures that whether you're streaming, video conferencing, or working from home, you're always connected without sacrificing the tranquility of mountain life. Over 1 acre w/ easy, year-round access via well-maintained State Highway 96, this home feels like a private retreat yet lies just minutes from Florence and Canon City, and less than 1 hour from Colorado Springs. Surround yourself with the very best of Colorado's outdoor lifestyle: world-class skiing, snowboarding, hot springs, mountain biking, fishing, lakes, camping, and endless wilderness are all just beyond your doorstep. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, mountain getaway, or remote work oasis, this property delivers space, solitude, and soul.
