Property Description

Tucked among the pines on .70 acres in Crystal Park, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath raised rancher captures the true spirit of mountain living. Sutherland Creek runs year-round through the property — walk along its banks, or enjoy its soothing sounds from the deck or hammock swaying among the trees. Just 7 minutes from the gate, 12 to Manitou Springs and 20 to I-25. Main level features oak floors, vaulted ceilings and south, west and east-facing windows flooding the great room with natural light. A wood-burning fireplace warms the living room, and the dining area beckons you through the patio door onto the wrap-around composite deck. Kitchen has oak cabinetry, granite counters and stainless appliances (3 years young). Primary bedroom includes walk-in closet and ensuite with deep soaking jetted tub, slate tile and towel warmer. Two additional bedrooms offer comfortable space — one where you fall asleep to the sound of the creek. The lower level is where you'll find the front entry, the 15'x18' family room with cozy gas stove and native stone surround, and a flex room walking out to the 20'x21' pergola-covered deck — and a zipline that is hard to resist. The 4th bedroom works as a great home office, and the wet bar, 3/4 bath and laundry with W/D complete the picture. Total and finished sq ft: 2,592. 2023 updates: Class IV shingle roof, well pressure tank, washer/dryer, composite decking and comprehensive water filtration system — a well-maintained home with many big-ticket items done. Attached 2-car garage, RV parking and flat driveway — a welcome surprise in the mountains. And then there's Crystal Park — a 2,000-acre community with exclusive owner amenities: manned gate, year-round activities, road maintenance and plowing, its own volunteer fire department, hiking trails, stocked trout pond, summer-heated outdoor pool, tennis, pickleball and charming clubhouse — all for $270/month HOA. Songbirds, mule deer, fox, wild turkey and rabbits are regular visitors too!
