General Overview

Our home is located in the Indigo Ranch neighborhood of Colorado Springs, on east side of I25. A beautiful, well kept, manicured and walkable neighborhood. Behind the home, the Sand Creek Hiking/Biking Trail is easily accessed from the back yard with views of Pikes Peak. Hear the sounds of turkeys and donkeys from the nearby pumpkin farm in the middle of the city, as you enjoy your morning cup of coffee from the patio.

We live on the main floor of the home, and have a sound curtain that separates the stair well between the floors. You will have a parking spot on the right side of the driveway and access to the backyard patio sliding door to come and go as you please.

When we are home, we wanted to offer a full basement, all 2056 sqft for exchange, with a sound curtain that separates the two floors of the home.

There is a 12ft wet bar area with a microwave, auto water-fill Keurig style coffee maker, coffee pods, mini fridge, sink and mini-ice maker. A second mini-fridge is available on the patio. Inside the wet bar cabinets you will find a slow cooker, electric fryer, electric grill, Fry Daddy, serving trays, utensils, foil, plastic wrap, paper towels, paper plates and bowls.

The family room has a large sectional and a wall unit with 77" Home Theater with a built-in electric fireplace, a 6 person dining table, games, and 5 bar stools at the bar.

The home is equipped with ceiling speakers throughout the house including the basement level where you will be staying as well as the lower level patio. See details on how to play music in the Guest Instructions Booklet.

The home is also surrounded with exterior JellyFish lighting.

Located in the basement are 3 rooms but only 2 furnished, at this time. A queen bedroom and full bath with large walk-in wheelchair accessible shower, oversize closet and TV. A 2nd queen 'Sage' bedroom shares a hall tub/shower combo bath with a 3rd room that currently has no furniture at this time.

Enjoy evening sunset views of the Pikes Peak range on the outdoor patio where you will find 2 sets of patio furniture in different areas, a grill with a side burner and a 2nd mini-fridge. Please ask permission to use the smoker or larger fish fryer. A smaller fish/shrimp fryer is available in the wet bar cabinets. There is a folding table on the patio to use for the smaller Fry-Daddy. Note: Please use it outside of the home.
What you will love about this neighborhood
This neighborhood was established in 2017. All the homes are professionally landscaped with well manicured lawns. It is a walkable neighborhood. You will see many of the neighbors walking their dogs. The home is less than 10 minutes from grocery, shopping at First & Main and plenty of restaurants. Behind the house, nestled up against the back yard, there is a gate that gives access to the city's Sand Creek Trail for biking, hiking and running. It is currently 4 miles long with near future plans to extend. We may have a couple of nice bikes to loan.
