Property Description
We never planned to leave the city. But one gloomy afternoon, my daughter looked up at me and asked, “Do you think trees get sad when they can't see the mountains?”
Something about that stuck.
Three months later, we were driving west with everything we owned, bound for Colorado.
The land we found sat nestled between Colorado Springs and Woodland Park—tucked into the side of a mountain, with a small stream winding through the pines. There was an elementary school just across the road, and more stars in the night sky than we'd ever seen.
We had a log home built by hand—real timber, a stone chimney, and a porch that caught the sun just right. It was big, everything I had always dreamed of, but it felt just right. The kind of place you don't just live in—you grow into it, and it grows into you. All my life, I had been searching, longing for this feeling—finally able to close my eyes and know I was home.
My daughter took the room with the round window facing the creek. Every morning, she runs outside to see what the woods have left overnight—bunny tracks, a new bird, or nothing at all except peace.
The community welcomed us, and we all seemed to know we had found a secret place.
People ask what it's like, living here.
I just say: The mountain found us when we needed it most. And we stayed.
This fantastic lot is ready for your dream home. It features a well, electricity, gas, internet access, and approved building plans from the El Paso County building department. The property has also been surveyed, with metal rods marking the corners. Approved soils and foundation soils reports are available. It also includes several fruit-bearing apple trees--it's like a great dessert with a cherry on top.
Build your custom home on this stunning mountain property, just a short commute from both Colorado Springs and Woodland Park and closer to our World-Class Colorado ski areas.
