275 Pikes Peak Drive

Looking for incredible views? A peaceful mountain retreat w/ character and quirkiness? Maybe a greenhouse? This 2 story home in Rainbow Valley just might be what you’re seeking. Sitting on 2.63 acres, the home faces south w/ incredible moutain and forest views from the giant front deck and the large windows in the “front room” - which could serve as a dining/living combo. This is one of many options/dual functions here. Another is the large windows: they provide passive solar warmth + the gorgeous views. Designers certainly had open-concept living in mind w/ the front room and kitchen combination. Off the kitchen, find a laundry/mud room, leading to a bonus room/workshop. This appears to be a finished enclosed porch, as it's unheated. There’s extra living space (family room), w/ a wood stove and 2nd entrance. Two bedrooms, full bath, and a ¾ bath round out the offering on the main level. Upstairs find an enormous primary bedroom, w/ walk out, and ready for a 2nd stove. Sneak some mountain views from the windows there. Downstairs, you’ll find: built-in beds in the 4th bedroom and a bonus room (5th bedroom? study? storage?), an “office”, rough-in for laundry (or sink? Or a kitchenette?), a small family room, and the “coal room”- it's unfinished and houses the furnace an extra coal/wood stove + storage, with exit. Pet friendly w/ pet doors and fenced area in the back. Outside find the greenhouse, a shed for wood storage (and a glass section used for drying wood/plants), a small pond, and loads of geological and flora finds, including what looks like gold dust! There really may be gold in them thar hills. In Rainbow Valley all the homes have a cistern. This one may be the largest in the area, boasting a 2600 Gal concrete one! Lastly, if you’re seeking recreation, you’ll find much to explore. Pikes Peak, Crags, Raspberry Mountain, Mueller State Park, Dome Rock, Horsethief Park trail are all minutes away. Divide, Woodland Park, and Cripple Creek/Victor are within ~20 minutes. Come take a look today!
