Welcome to a Santa Fe-inspired custom-built mountain ranch home, nestled in the coveted Ponderosa Hills neighborhood. This unique gem, crafted with character & love by the original builder-owner, exudes an artistic touch. Located just up the hill from downtown Parker, you'll enjoy easy access to its restaurants, shops, library, farmers market, rec centers, PACE Center & events such as Parker Days & the Christmas Carriage Parade. Yet, the home is far enough removed to offer the quiet & tranquility of horse property in the pines. Inside, exposed structural wood beams & the warm glow of natural wood tones evoke the feeling of a mountain retreat. The vaulted ceilings, skylights, and large windows frame stunning views of Pike's Peak and the evergreen landscape. The expansive great room features a king-size wood-burning fireplace and a cozy loft area adorned with artful paintings & built-ins. The charming kitchen includes a walk-in pantry & breakfast nook. The master bedroom offers a spacious walk-in closet & master bath with a custom copper-lined shower & stained glass accents. A blast from the past dark room for film developing can be more pantry storage or craft room. Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the zoning allowing horses & the property includes 2 barns and 3 fenced paddocks. Enjoy the benefits from paved county roads & an asphalt driveway, eliminating the hassle of gravel roads. The Spanish-style tile roof is not only aesthetically pleasing but also more hail-resistant, potentially reducing insurance costs. The home has new upgraded tankless water heater, high efficiency boiler, whole house water filter, garage door, 3 new Kohler toilets, & septic use permit is completed. Engineering drawings & blueprints for the home are avail. Douglas County Zoning is Estate Residential allowing for 1 horse per 1/2 acre. Being sold as part of an estate sale, this home may need some updating, but it presents a wonderful opportunity to own a distinctive and serene horse property
