luxury architect houses for sale El Paso County, United States

Pikes Peak to the west. Pike National Forest rolling beyond. The lights of Colorado Springs glittering far below at nightfall. From the highest homesite in Cedar Heights at 7,645 feet, this 2022 architectural statement commands an uninterrupted 360° panorama few addresses on the Front Range can claim. Behind the gates of a coveted enclave, minutes from Garden of the Gods, Old Colorado City, Manitou Springs and downtown. The southeast-facing drive welcomes sunrise and sheds Colorado snow with ease. Beyond it, an oversized 4-car garage finished in epoxy chip flooring, side-yard parking and dual 50-amp EV pre-wires. Walls built to a higher standard: 6 framing wrapped in spray foam insulation for serene, energy-conscious living year round. Inside, the great room unfolds beneath soaring ceilings, anchored by a massive rock fireplace and a 145 picture window that turns the landscape into living art. The chef's kitchen is a study in precision: a 48 Wolf six-burner range with a griddle and double oven, a 44 Sub-Zero, a Miele espresso machine, leathered granite, twin nine-foot islands and a hidden pantry. Wide-plank white oak underfoot. The main-level owner's retreat offers a spa-caliber steam shower, heated stone floors and dedicated mini-split climate. A second main-level guest suite mirrors the comfort with heated floors and mini-split. Upstairs, both suites awaken to Pikes Peak. Pre-framed and wired for a future elevator. Downstairs is its own destination: theater with surround sound, full wet bar with island refrigerator, en-suite quarters, gym and 900+ sq ft of storage. Whole-home audio, lightning protection, water cop leak detection and radon mitigation, all standard. Outdoors, 2,500 sq ft of paver terraces host twin gas fire pits and two water features amid professionally curated, illuminated landscaping, all set across 1.25 generously usable acres. A home of this caliber, on a homesite of this stature, rarely surfaces.
