1006 I St, Penrose, CO 81240

Beautiful country setting on 5 acres with good grass, a large pond, and a view of snow capped peaks. The neighbors are nice. The road is in great shape. There is a detached garage/carport. Live in the existing home permanently or use it while you build your dream home elsewhere on the spacious lot. If you are a horse person this is your dream set-up for horses. A 60’ round pen, a square pen with loafing shed, and a north yard and a south yard, which are all fenced/paneled and gated to allow any number of corral options. A circular driveway allows horse trailers and livestock haulers in/out with ease. Part of the lot can flood with (free!) irrigation water - depending on how you manage the pond level. A pump in the pond allows you total control. You can have wet-lands, or great grass with water just inches beneath the surface, or dry pasture. A ditch runs through the property and there is a bridge over it for both horses and people. The water accumulated by the pond can be pumped onto the lot for free irrigation. No water bill for that! The home is 1253 sq ft and includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spacious kitchen and dinette, and a spacious living room with double doors to the outside PORCH, complete with a swing for evenings of relaxing and soaking in the views. Lots of new paint. Clean carpets. And tons of laminate flooring. A 40-foot insulated semitrailer is onsite and set on a foundation – which can be used for (lots of) storage and a workshop! It is wired for 120V and 240V. It has a long workbench inside – with bench grinder and vise. And a big, lockable, commercial door. Next to the trailer is an attached carport made with steel horse stall components brought from a facility in Belmont, NY, that can be configured to turn it into a 4-animal horse stall with doors to the outside. Or, just part your car/truck, tractor, and hay out of the weather. A separate single-vehicle detached garage is located close to the road. The back of the home has a fenced area for your fur babies to be let out in safety. The home has municipal water, gas, internet and electricity – with a private septic system that was pumped clean earlier in 2024. The south yard has dozens of trees, picnic tables, a shed, and leftover room for whatever you want to make of it. The north yard has another storage shed, and a chicken coop waiting for your flock. Also in the north yard is a handy chain-link dog enclosure should you need it. A dumpster on-site lets you forget about wheeling trash cans around. Penrose is known as ‘horse town’. It was the farm community supplying the towns of Cripple Creek and Victor 100 years ago. Now it’s a green, wide-open community that lets its landowners enjoy the freedom and space to make their lifestyle dreams come true. The yearly Apple Blossom Festival attracts attendees from 50 miles away. Penrose is conveniently located almost equidistant from Colorado Springs, Canon City, and Pueblo. With the antiquing community of Florence, just 5 minutes to the south. The Arkansas River is also 5 minutes away. This may be the getaway you were looking for !!
