Tucked behind a canopy of mature Ponderosa pines, this tranquil property welcomes with an incredible architectural driveway leading to a portico with porch swing and fenced grounds. The home is surrounded by a multi-level terraced garden with paved walkways and walk-out access. Inside, the living room features soaring wood cathedral ceilings, a dramatic two-story natural rock fireplace, and south-facing windows for relaxing natural views and soothing passive solar warmth. The kitchen offers heated slate floors, a Jenn Air range, a hot water tap, and access to a covered west-facing deck with views stretching to Pikes Peak and the Front Range. The primary suite includes an oversized walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with radiant heat hardwood floors. The upstairs loft doubles as an office with a gas fireplace & built-in floor-to-ceiling shelving and glass-fronted cabinets. This level also offers a bedroom & bath. Downstairs, enjoy the peaceful sound of a cascading waterfall into a circular koi pond, part of a two-story atrium designed for year-round indoor gardening. Off of the walk-out family room, a secondary suite with attached bath is ready to accommodate guests. The finished garage includes an RV-height door and extra deep parking bays. Additional features include two wells, a dedicated workshop, laundry room with sink and chute, and zoning that permits livestock. Approximately half the acreage is mitigated, blending forest and native grass meadow that descends to a pond that is both spring fed & filled by the East Cherry Creek. Wildlife is abundant, and privacy is preserved while still offering easy access to Herring Road.
