Description
Set on 70.4± acres in Locke Mountain Ranch, this mountain residence, extensively upgraded from the ground up and completed in March 2026, pairs a private setting and expansive views with a level of modernization and infrastructure investment rarely found in properties of this type.
The home has undergone a full-scale reconstruction rather than a cosmetic update. Originally a traditional log structure, it has been reworked from the ground up into a modernized residence that maintains the character of log construction while delivering a much more updated layout, finish, and overall function. Nearly every major component has been replaced or upgraded, resulting in a home that performs more like a new build than a remodel and helping eliminate many of the concerns typically associated with older mountain homes.
The main living area is centered around a dramatic A-frame front, where expansive windows frame the surrounding mountain views and bring in natural light throughout the day. A substantial stone fireplace anchors the space, creating a natural focal point that complements the scale and materials of the home. The layout has been reconfigured to create a clean, functional flow between living spaces, balancing openness with defined areas designed for everyday use and entertaining.
Spanning approximately 6,080 square feet across three levels, including a walk-out basement, the home offers a blend of finished living space and flexibility for future use. The basement includes approximately 1,300 square feet of finished space along with 900 square feet unfinished, allowing for storage, expansion, or customization depending on needs.
No shortcuts were taken in the finish. Every detail reflects a focus on modern luxury, function, and durability. Interior improvements include new framing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, doors, hardware, appliances, and fixtures throughout. Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems have all been comprehensively upgraded, including a full 400-amp service with a new substation and underground lines. Heating and cooling have been redesigned with a central system, multiple mini-split units for zoned climate control, and updated radiant floor systems, ensuring efficiency and comfort year-round.
Water and utility infrastructure have been equally prioritized. The property includes two wells and a newly installed 2,500-gallon in-ground cistern. Propane service has been upgraded with two 1,000-gallon tanks supplying both the home and a whole-house generator, providing reliable backup power when needed. The property is also configured for future solar integration, with infrastructure already in place at the former barn site.
Outdoor living is a natural extension of the home. Multiple exterior gathering areas have been established, including patios, decks, fire pit spaces, and sitting areas that are positioned to take full advantage of the surrounding mountain views. These spaces provide both privacy and functionality, whether for quiet evenings or hosting.
Additional site improvements include extensive concrete flatwork, drainage systems, and retaining walls designed to manage runoff and protect the home. A previous pole barn was removed, but the existing slab, structural supports, and utilities remain in place, creating a ready-to-build site for a future shop, garage, or potential additional living space.
The land itself offers a diverse and usable landscape, with ridgelines, rock outcroppings, and a deep valley that creates both separation and visual depth while enhancing the overall setting.
The location offers a balance of seclusion and access. The Arkansas River is a short drive away and is well known for its fly fishing opportunities. Pueblo Reservoir provides additional options for boating and fishing. Nearby communities such as Florence and Cañon City offer local restaurants, shops, and breweries, while Colorado Springs is approximately one hour away, providing access to a regional airport, expanded dining options, and broader amenities. Monarch Mountain is within a few hours for skiing, and surrounding public lands, including BLM and National Forest, provide access to hunting, hiking, and year-round recreation.
This property reflects a significant reinvestment into both the home and the land. It offers the character of its original structure with the performance, efficiency, and reliability of a modernized residence, set within a private and highly usable mountain setting.
