Listing details for 6170 Barrett Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80926 : What an AMAZING opportunity to own and enjoy a home nestled among Pinon Pines, Ponderosas and Junipers on 35 private acres. This cozy yet open and airy floor plan features vaulted ceilings in the main level. French doors lead out onto the deck from the dining room with spectacular views! In the main living room you will find a centrally located high efficiency wood burning stove to heat the entire main level. Along with surround sound and projector make for theater-worthy movie nights; just bring the popcorn! The master bedroom with walk-in closet, laundry room and full bathroom all on the main level. You will also notice a partially finished 8 foot by 14 foot loft in the walk-in closet that would provide an excellent hide-away or reading nook. In the lower level you will find three additional bedrooms, family room and another full bathroom. The carefully calculated roof eves provide full sun and passive solar gain through the south facing windows in winter and no sun in the summer. This also adds the opportunity to take full advantage of solar panels to reduce an already low utility bill. A whole-house fan allows you to take advantage of the cool Colorado nights to drop your inside temperatures during the summer as needed. Gutters flow into a 3,000 gallon cistern, collecting rainwater for any landscaping or gardening needs. The sanded and fenced yard includes an 8x8 electric sauna, cover sitting area (made from a repurposed shipping container) and provides a beautiful location for barefoot games, bonfires and beach vibes! Enjoy the incredible health benefits of the sauna with temps up to 220F and then run out and roll in the snow of the Colorado Rockies! Looking for an investment opportunity? This home would make for an excellent short-term rental with the electric sauna and a home theater paired with access to a Colorado experience through local nature and wildlife.
