027 Waterfall Loop Manitou Springs Colorado 80829

Lovely & gentle building site with wrap-around mountain vistas of rock formations and mixed aspen/evergreen forest, plus view of the city & plains down canyon. Some Crystal Park sites might challenge the imagination, but this one screams “Cut those trees &build here!” Access will be from Waterfall Loop, across street from the home at 5855. Your access drive does not yet exist, but obviously will be an easy one to cut & nearly flat. Less than 1/4 mile from lake, pool, clubhouse, etc. This is a new homesite location & our MLS map is the first to show it. It was moved from a place that proved impractical with special permission of CP Board. Crystal Park is a spectacular year-round mountain resort, offering hiking, fishing (stocked lake, no permit required), an 88-degree swimming pool, basketball, volleyball, tennis, badminton, clubhouse with kitchen and fireplaces, too much to mention here. Decomposed granite is the perfect building surface. Roads are maintained year round by the Park’s own staff & equipment. Double fire protection, both from CP’s own Volunteer FD & Manitou Springs FD on a must-come contract. CP is still being pioneered because many building sites are not YET real estate & this one is not yet surveyed. These sites are destined to become real estate before your dream home is built, but until then, you have a pioneer’s privilege of scooting the location around a bit or surveying to capture trees you may wish to cut to open up your view. Plenty of room here: No need to crowd your neighbors. The plan is to maintain separation (with a screen of trees) between undeveloped Site 157 to the west and the home at 5855 across Waterfall Lp to the south, so as to maintain everyone’s privacy and views. Maps show that a side road here is called Cross Country Trail turning into Big Bear downhill, but those are not official & there is no signage at this intersection with Waterfall Loop, so please let LA guide you there. The road up the mountain is safe but scary, so..
