One of Colorado's most distinctive legacy ranches, Cottonwood Ranch spans approximately 200 contiguous acres across two parcels with nearly one mile of Fountain Creek frontage. Located 20 minutes south of downtown Colorado Springs, this remarkable property brings together luxury residential living, premier equestrian infrastructure, income-producing residences, recreation, privacy, and extraordinary versatility amid open land, mature cottonwoods, and sweeping Front Range views. The Spanish-inspired main residence features 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, an updated kitchen with double ovens and pantry, expansive entertaining spaces, two fireplaces, a stone-coated steel roof, heated bathroom floors, built-in central vacuum, a 25,000-gallon indoor heated pool, and a private Trex deck with hot tub overlooking the ranch. Two additional remodeled residences — a 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home and a 3-bedroom, 1-bath home — offer flexibility for rental income, guests, staff housing, or multigenerational living. Purpose-built for serious equestrian use, the ranch features a 15,000+ sq ft indoor riding arena with 12 attached stalls, tack room, 1,800 sq ft office/apartment, kitchen, restroom and laundry; a separate 19-stall barn; outdoor arena; round pens; fenced pastures; and a 1,200 sq ft workshop. Multiple operational wells, including a high-capacity agricultural well, support the property, while established riding and recreational trails, abundant wildlife, mature cottonwood groves, and Fountain Creek create a remarkably private setting. Just off I-25 and across from Pikes Peak International Raceway, Cottonwood Ranch combines easy accessibility with the character of a true ranch retreat. Whether envisioned as a private legacy ranch, premier equestrian operation, recreational retreat, multigenerational estate, investment property, or long-term land holding, opportunities combining this scale, water, infrastructure, income potential, and location are exceedingly rare.

Fountain Valley, located between Interstate 25 and the foothills edging Fort Carson, is a suburban and residential Fountain neighborhood with broad prairie views and a network of neighborhood parks. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around S Santa Fe Ave and Ohio Ave, where local diners, small storefronts, and civic buildings set a steady, everyday pace. Housing leans toward newer subdivisions with stucco-and-stone detailing alongside pockets of older ranch-style homes. Side streets feel open and sunlit, with wide setbacks and big skies defining the streetscape. Green space and sports fields shape routines around Fountain Creek Regional Park and nearby trail segments. A short drive connects to the Pikes Peak International Raceway for weekend events and to downtown Fountain’s small-business corridor for coffee and casual meals.
