Privacy is becoming one of the hardest features to find in newer neighborhoods, and this beautifully maintained Poncha Springs home delivers. Backing to a conservation and open space easement with mature landscaping and mountain views, the setting feels far more secluded than its in town location would suggest. Built in 2003, this thoughtfully designed single level home offers 1,350 square feet with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an oversized attached two car garage. Vaulted ceilings and engineered hardwood flooring create an open, airy feel throughout the main living area, while a custom built in entertainment center adds both character and functionality. The kitchen is designed for everyday living and entertaining with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, farmhouse sink, center island with seating, and two pantries with pull out shelving for exceptional storage. The dining area opens directly to the backyard, creating an easy transition for indoor and outdoor gatherings. The spacious primary suite features a walk in closet and private full bath, while two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. Step outside to a backyard designed for relaxing and enjoying Colorado’s outdoor lifestyle. Mature trees, raised garden beds, a large deck, covered patio, hot tub, storage shed, and fully fenced yard create a private retreat rarely found this close to town. Located in the desirable De Anza Vista neighborhood with no HOA, public water and sewer, natural gas, paved roads, and convenient access to Salida, Monarch Mountain, hiking, biking, rafting, and fishing, this move in ready home offers the perfect combination of quality construction, thoughtful design, and an outstanding mountain town location.
