8285 Packard Lane

This one-of-a-kind 20-acre ranch borders Pike National Forest on two sides and has the perfect, charming mid-century cabin-home nestled in a quiet valley just 20 minutes from Colorado Springs. This lovely home is surrounded by aspen trees, Ponderosa pine, and rolling hills that you can enjoy by horse-back or right from your oversized living room. The 3-bedroom home has plenty of natural wood both inside and out, with a masonry hearth for wood-burning winters and extra windows in your dining room to enjoy the wildlife of the forest. A newly created owner's suite with zero-entry shower gives you modern conveniences, while true linoleum flooring in the kitchen and second bathroom, classic light fixtures, and a gas range preserve the appeal this home has always had. The siding & windows have been resealed, the plumbing updated, the carpeting replaced, the front porch rebuilt, and the roof upgraded to steel so you can move in and relax on your own property worry-free. Then you add a 2-car garage with a workshop and a 3rd space lean-to, a hay storage shed, and a 32' x 20' barn with 3 stalls plus a pony stall, and you are move-in ready for you and your horses or cows. There's 3 acres of fenced space, plus numerous livestock gates, along with a level riding arena and a circular, fenced enrichment track to keep them engaged and ready to enjoy equine life along side your family. You can saddle up and ride directly off your property and across the state without ever crossing an interstate highway, or just ride up your own trail to your own private hill to watch the sunrise near Pikes Peak. You might never need to load up the livestock trailer again. Come take a look this weekend. You will fall in love, and you won't find anything else like this.
