At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Pike Trails Ranches, this 20-acre retreat offers true seclusion with meadow-to-ridgeline vistas, as timbered hillsides frame the valley floor and rise to wooded slopes beyond. The rustic 1,444-sq-ft two-story with loft rests above a draw and soaks up sunrise and stars from a wraparound deck with treetop views for morning coffee and stargazing. Built in 1981 and sold furnished, it is comfortable for weekends or longer as you plan improvements. Inside, a vaulted great room with exposed beams, warm woodwork, and wide windows draws the landscape in, and a simple country kitchen with handmade cabinetry sits alongside for casual gathering. The main level is joined by a sunlit loft that currently lives as a slumber nook and reading perch. The walkout lower level offers a full bath and windowed laundry area, plus flexible bunk-style space with exterior entry, storage, and a classic wood stove for cool spring and fall evenings. Step outside to granite outcrops and evergreen ridges across your private valley, with wildlife moving through in the quiet hours. A small shed keeps tools organized, and there is room to stage trailers, an RV, or future outbuildings. Big-ticket essentials are handled: grid power, a robust well, and a propane tank in place for immediate use. Sold AS IS and priced to invite updates like electrical finishing, a new septic, fresh flooring, and finish work that will reward the next owner. A reasonable annual HOA provides road maintenance for essential year-round access, and with no covenants, ownership stays simple! Quick access to paved CO-9 opens adventure in every direction. Guffey, Canon City, Cripple Creek, and Woodland Park are within convenient reach, and nearby public lands, rivers, and lakes offer hiking, fishing, hunting, rafting, and winter recreation. Bring your vision, tools, and skills to claim a rare mix of privacy, scenery, and long-term value in a location that is hard to match and easy to love!
