One-of-a-Kind Forested Estate in Coveted Saddlewood – Rarely does a property like this come to market. Set on over 2½ fully fenced acres of professionally maintained pine forest, this Saddlewood ranch with walk-out basement is a private Colorado sanctuary minutes from everything Elizabeth offers. The towering pines have been expertly thinned for a healthy, beautiful forest backdrop. Outside, enjoy irrigated deer-fenced gardens, multiple seating areas, a lighted Trex deck, stairs with integrated lighting, gas BBQ line and outdoor fireplace, a hot tub pad, horseshoe pit, spacious storage shed with loft, and a rear gate for easy trailer access — all anchored by an impressive industrial flagpole. Inside, an open floor plan welcomes you with rich hardwood floors, solid wood doors and trim, and a Vermont Castings gas fireplace. The kitchen shines with quality cabinetry, soap stone countertops, newer appliances, and a gas cooktop. The primary suite offers 2 walk-in closets and private ensuite bath with walk-in shower. The fully renovated lower level features custom built-ins, a full egress window, new Pella sliding door, new windows and a LaCroix pellet fireplace with a supply of extra pellet! The attached 2-car garage is complemented by a nearly impossible-to-find oversized, high-clearance heated RV garage — room for two RVs, vehicles, boats, ATVs, and equipment with clearance for a lift and an on-site bathroom and workshop. Over $100,000 in construction and fully functional year-round. Updated furnace, hot water heater, and high-profile shingle roof provide worry-free ownership. A Honda whole-home generator and snowblower are included. Minutes to the Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo grounds, abundant parks which include pickleball courts, splash pad playground and frisbee golf. Close to shops, restaurants, and the small-town charm that makes Elizabeth one of Elbert County’s most beloved communities.
