Property Description

There are gated mountain communities, & then there is Crystal Park. Sitting high above the clouds outside Manitou Springs, CO, this is the kind of place people discover once & spend years trying to get into. A manned gatehouse, clubhouse, heated seasonal pool, trout pond, pickleball courts, & roads plowed & maintained around the clock. This particular home is one of the finest in the community, & photos genuinely don't prepare you for it. You have to stand in it. The home sits on nearly 3/4 of an acre backing directly to Pike National Forest, one of the largest national forests in the country. Private trails start at the edge of the property. A 10-minute walk gets you to a waterfall. A nearby stretch of forest is known for natural gemstones you can find yourself. & from the home, the views sweep 360 degrees across Pikes Peak, the Garden of the Gods, & the entire city of Colorado Springs laid out thousands of feet below you. Inside, the design is striking & modern without feeling cold. Walls of glass pull those views in from every angle. The great rm is anchored by a wood-burning FP w/a stacked stone surround & the kitchen & dining area flow right out to multiple decks. SS appliances, butcher block island, & pantry. The living rm has been updated w/new LVP flooring & LED can lighting, & a bedrm on this level has its own private deck & full bath w/dble vanity & tile flr & shower surround.
