Penrose Description

http://sites.google.com/site/40acreranch/

Property:
40 Acres M/L
Almost a perfect square at approx 1/4 mile by 1/4 mile per side.
6 miles north of Penrose, CO
30 miles south of Colorado Springs, CO - 30 minutes to south Colorado Springs.
The primary lay of the land is southern exposed and has varying slope from high point on north to low on the south end. This property will never flood. A few years ago we had a rain storm that dumped 6 inches of rain in one hour and had no problems with flooding.
Great terrain relief, a valley, cliffs, huge rock outcroppings, some fields.
Great for horses and trail riding.
In the valley is a great place to shoot, with high backstops and a stretch of field for long gun practice/zeroing your scope out to over 100 yards.
SECLUDED. Almost at the end of the road, one neighbor past this property.
Go up the valley and cross one neighboring property and you have 33,000 acres of BLM (public land) to explore all the way to Pikes Peak.
Wildlife - Deer, Cotton Tails, Jack Rabbits. We have seen a few Bobcats...and ELK run up and down the valley! Believe it or not...you will even see an occasional Tarantula, Scorpion (not dangerous) and even Road Runners. We have not seen Turkey on the property, but we know they are in the area.
Many, many, many hummingbirds during the summer. Click Here for video of 30 on the back porch at the same time.
Nearest neighbor is over 1/3 mile away as the crow flies, nearest neighbor on the road is 1/2 mile away.
Perimeter fenced on three sides, wouldn’t take much to fully fence the north border. Part of a cliff makes up the north side.
Views are incredible looking south to the San Louis Valley and the Wet Mountains.
Almost no ambient light pollution. The moon is so bright on a full moon night you can practically sit outside and read a book. It is black as pitch on a moonless night and the stars are simply indescribable.
Many solar garden lights help you find your way on those moonless nights.

You have your parent's or other family member's (could be brothers/sisters or other family as well) Doctor fill out a form stating they require your assistance, submit the paperwork to Fremont County where it goes through an approval process. If you do not obtain a Medical Hardship Waiver this home will have to be removed. Currently working to sell this home separately and to have it removed. Asking price will be adjusted accordingly!

Garage:
HUGE 30 x 50 Detached Garage
Two Single Bays on one half. Both single bays are fully sheet rocked, walls and ceilings.
One Double Bay on the other half, open wall studs and rafters.
Each “bay” is almost 23ft deep, easily a car and a half deep and more than a car wide. I would call this a 4 x 1.5 car garage.
This garage is HUGE, with high ceilings.
½ Bathroom hookups
Yes…the garage has it’s own bathroom
Finish the floor and drop the toilet in place and it’s done.
Large utility sink
Mechanical/Pump Room
Insulated (to keep the water works from freezing)
1,000 Gallon Poly Water Cistern
Pressure Tank and Pressure Tank Protection Circuit
Water Softener (not connected)
Well Pump Control Panel and Electronics
Mech / Pump room feeds water to BOTH homes
Overhead Storage Above the Bathroom/Pump Room
Many Very Sturdy wall mounted shelves
The Double Door is broken. I had both single doors open and the double about ½ way open. A huge gust of wind blew through and really mangled the door. It is very secure and solid, but will not open without replacing it.
Both single doors work, but are a bit “fidgety”.
This garage makes a fantastic and HUGE workshop / storage / workout / “man cave” space to store toys, fix toys, build stuff and have your own space – oh, and you might even park a truck or car in here too.
220 outlet in garage for welder/compressor.

Barn:
22 x 36 “Fine Country Engineering” Pole Barn

Tack and feed room
Attached outdoor chicken run (18 x 13), fenced 6ft high plus fully covered to protect them from predators. We lost a bunch of chickens a few years ago until we covered it all with netting. We haven’t lost any since.
Full pipe fenced for horses, to the front and around one side of the barn (72 x 43). Pipe fence is wrapped with goat fencing, we haven’t had a goat get out yet.

R/V Hookups! 50 amp R/V Power Box on the north side of the garage AND R/V Sewage Hookup (ties into the septic tank)
Extra 625 gallon poly water cistern.

Antenna to receive broadband internet is already in place and connected. Saves you the cost of equipment, you would only need to get a new account through BySky. Much better than WildBlue, we tried WildBlue for a year and the latency gave me fits trying to work via a VPN connection. Using SpeedText.com I'm getting about 2 mb/s download and .5 mb/s upload. It has tested at up to 3.5 mb/s!

Water
We drilled a well to 640ft two years ago. The well pumped GREAT for nearly a year then failed. The well/pump experts have been out a few times and are not sure what went wrong. A new well needs to be drilled. Use a different well driller and you won't have a problem, we did not know the right questions to ask when we had it drilled. The well must be lined to prevent this from happening again.
All the supporting systems are in place and work great...pressure tank and control systems, water well control system, whole system filter, water softener (needs to be hooked back up), etc.
Currently having water delivered.
A gray water re-use tank is set up to re-use clothes washer water for the garden.
