Property Description:
Auction deadline of June 20, 2012
Open House on May 26 from 10am - 4pm.

National Forest Inholding!!! Your own private island surrounded by the picturesque Pike National Forest. This magical property is everything you’re looking for in the grand adventure of a Colorado lifestyle, with none of the negatives you might be concerned about.

---Want stunning views and a feeling of privacy and seclusion that can never be encroached upon? Oh, and would you like easy, paved, county maintained and snowplowed access with that? A rare combination, but this location offers it. And it is only a one hour drive in each direction to shopping and entertainment in Colorado Springs, or the ski slopes of Breckenridge, or gambling in the quaint old mining town of Cripple Creek.

---How about the glory of an absolutely silent December or February snowfall without the prospect of 3 hours digging out the next day? The south facing slope in the “little banana belt” of this area guarantees you the very minimum of wintertime headaches and maintenance.

---Want the wilderness experience without the worry about wildlife attacking your pets or livestock? You’ve got it! The isolation of this property insures that the coyotes, bears, and mountain lions have all the space and natural prey they need. The predators do not prefer to bother humans. It only happens in the outlying communities where they have been crowded out. And, no snakes, spiders, scorpions, roaches, mosquitos, fire ants or termites!!!!!!!!!!

---Also imagine the benefit of owning and maintaining a small boutique ranch, while having access just outside your back door to thousands of acres of Colorado postcard grandeur. Ride your horses or 4 wheelers for hours or days past the deer and elk grazing in meadows, and the lakes and streams teaming with trout.

---Thanks to the precise southern orientation of the L-shaped ranch style home, you can enjoy a mild and sunny afternoon on your deck even in January. The large deck and hot tub showcase the most magnificent view of Pikes Peak from anywhere in Colorado. And the many double pane windows capitalize on the southern sun for maximum interior solar gain in winter.


The 3,394 square foot home has been recently remodeled from the kitchen to the lower level walkout. Everything has been thought of to enhance family living and maximize entertaining potential. On the main level, the bright and open floor plan offers a huge greatroom, dining area, and kitchen space that manages, for all of its spaciousness, to feel warm and cozy. The native moss rock fireplace commands an entire wall, and the brushed oak plank floors add a look of rustic elegance. And you will love the hand trowel texture on walls and ceiling. The gourmet kitchen features fabulous custom oak cabinetry and tile mural backsplash. While busy in the kitchen, the chef can interact with family or guests, allowing for the warm flow of hospitality. The lower level walkout offers 2 bedrooms, family room, game area, office nook, oversize bathroom, laundry room, mud room, mechanical room, workshop, and heated 2 car garage. After the kids have gone to bed or your guests have departed, unwind in your hot tub and watch the full moon rise over Pikes Peak. Then retire to your master retreat falling asleep to the glow of the fireplace. Awake to start your summer day with that morning cup of joe out on the deck watching the horses in their pasture, or the antelope grazing just there in the hollow.


For ease and convenience of horse care, the newer, 36’ X 60’ barn is equipped with water and electricity, a wash stall, and an insulated tack and feed room. There is space for 6 stalls, and a storage and work bench area. The large loft offers tons of hay storage. Approximately 10 acres is safely fenced and cross fenced with smooth wire topped with hot tape. There is a large round pen so essential to horse training, and you will really appreciate the convenience of the automatic heated waterer.


All of this and rainbows too?!!! Yes, and even homegrown tomatoes from the attached hydroponic green house. Rainbow Peak Ranch offers absolutely all of the best with none of the worst of mountain living. You just have to see it for yourself.
