Perched on a mountain side, the home has breathtaking views of the city lights and an almost 180 degree view of the Colorado prairie. Surrounded by trees the home is blessed with the music of the Will Rogers Shrine from morning to evening. This property and the adjoining parcel (Schedules 7502200006 and 7502200024) combine to give you 1.18 acres of hillside living. As you venture into the first level (basement) you'll discover the kitchen, dining, laundry and utility area. The main level (second level) has a bedroom, bath, living room with wood fireplace and a sunroom that doubles as a third bedroom when needed. The upper level (third level) is a spacious bedroom with a walkout to the adjoining upper lot. This is an original 1925 cabin with all the uniqueness of the period. A little history: The Overlook Colony was started in 1911 by a group of Colorado College professors. It first started as a summer retreat for the educators, and grew to include musicians, doctors, artists, generals, oilmen, and an ambassador to India. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo was built just below and the Will Rogers Shrine built just above this community. Residents manage the Overlook Colony Mutual Water Company that governs water conservation, maintenance, and testing of the water supply from deep within the former Little Susie gold mine. The colony is protected from expansion since only 28 shares exist and no new one can be added. New buildings inherit the water share when the former home is removed. At this time, there are no short term rentals allowed in this community; 6 months minimal term required. Come get away from it all! This historic, charmer perched on the mountain side is waiting for YOU! Call today to reserve your private tour.
