Located on a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from both Elizabeth and Kiowa, it combines a move-in ready home with serious income potential thanks to the studio apartment in the barn.

🏠 6 Bed | 4 Bath | ~3,000 Total Sq Ft
🐴 Equestrian Hub: Custom barn with 4+ Stablemaster stalls, heated auto-waterers, covered runs, and a hot/cold wash rack.
🏘️ Barn Apartment: A studio accessory dwelling unit with a kitchen and laundry, perfect for a rental or multi-generational living.
🐎 Training Facilities: 120' x 60' outdoor arena plus a 60-foot covered round pen for training in any season.
🌿 8.19 Fully Fenced Acres: Cross-fenced into four pastures with auto-waterers to keep your herd happy.
🍳 Updated Ranch Living: Bright kitchen and dining area with a double-sided fireplace and a main-floor primary suite that overlooks the pastures.
🛠️ Recent Upgrades: New roofs, exterior paint, and fresh carpet and paint throughout the walk-out basement as of Fall 2025.
🚗 Tons of Storage: Includes a massive 50' x 27' carport and plenty of turnaround space for your trailer.

Finding horse properties in Colorado that already have an income-producing ADU and a covered round pen is a massive find. As an equestrian realtor, I know how much peace of mind comes with a property that has been as well-maintained as this one.

How do you turn a standard transaction into a massive win for an investor? By asking the questions most agents are too afraid to ask. 🥂

We just got this incredible new build in Colorado Springs under contract, and the numbers on this one make me want to buy one too! Here is how we made the magic happen:

🔄 The Strategy: This is a 1031 Exchange for a repeat investor client, moving capital into a high-growth market while deferring taxes.
💰 The "Impossible" Win: Most builders lock their incentives behind their own "preferred" lenders. Not this time. We successfully negotiated full builder incentives while using the buyer’s own lender. It takes a little extra grit to push for these terms, but the savings for my client are worth every conversation.
📍 The Value: A 2-bed, 2-bath, 2-car garage home for $356,677. In today’s Colorado Springs market, finding a quality entry point at this price range is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Whether you are looking to start your portfolio or execute a complex 1031 Exchange, you need a partner who knows how to navigate the fine print and advocate for your bottom line.

🐴 Thinking about buying a horse property in Black Forest? You need to watch this first.

I know — the pines are gorgeous, the lots feel private, and it looks like the perfect place to keep horses. But after working with buyers and owners in this area, I have seen the same costly surprises come up over and over again.

Here is what most listings will NOT tell you:

🌲 Those beautiful ponderosa pines? They steal nutrients from the soil and drop acidic needles that smother grass.

💧 Many properties in Black Forest only have Household or Domestic well permits. Make sure you know the difference and how it affects your horse property.

🔥 The 2013 Black Forest Fire burned over 14,000 acres. Evacuating horses on narrow, tree-lined roads during a fast-moving wildfire is not a risk to take lightly — and insurance in this area is becoming nearly impossible to find at a reasonable rate.

🌾 And with lot sizes typically running 2.5 to 5 acres, the carrying capacity of the land simply cannot support grazing horses. There's a pretty good chance you'll be buying 100% of your hay, every single month, indefinitely.

I made this video because I want horse owners to go into this decision with eyes wide open — not find out the hard way after they have already signed.

Black Forest Real Estate Market Update: Spring 2026 Shift!

12/04/2025

🎉 Congratulations to my amazing buyers who closed on their new Colorado Springs property this week. This one is extra exciting because it includes an attached ADU, which opens the door for long term income and smart investing.

We were able to negotiate some great incentives that set them up for success from day one. As a Colorado realtor who spends a lot of time helping clients think strategically about their long term investments, this closing was such a win.

If you are looking at Colorado Springs properties and want to understand how an ADU or multi use home can fit into your investment plan, I’m always here to help. Working with the best realtors in Colorado Springs should feel easy and approachable, and that is the experience I love giving my clients.

💬 Message me for insights on the Colorado market.
What part of Colorado would you invest in if you had an ADU generating passive income?

The negotiation is always my favorite part and this one did not disappoint! We were able to get concessions towards closing costs and a price drop.
Congrats to my clients on this killer of a deal and another investment property in the Colorado Springs area!
