Property Description
Escape to privacy just minutes from town with this remarkable 5-bedroom, 5-bath mid-century modern ranch—designed by renowned architect Jan Ruhtenberg, a pioneer of American modernism with deep roots in Colorado Springs. A contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright and a protégé of Le Corbusier, Ruhtenberg brought clean, modernist design to the region, leaving a legacy of timeless architecture that continues to inspire. Set on 8.4 secluded acres, this architectural gem offers both design pedigree and practical comfort. Inside, you'll find three fireplaces, soaring solid wood ceilings with exposed beams, and a spacious chef's kitchen anchored by an impressive 6' x 9' island—perfect for gatherings and casual dining. A lush central courtyard with mature greenery and a tranquil water feature creates seamless indoor-outdoor living. The peaceful primary suite, multiple flexible living spaces, and generous layout make this home ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. Additional highlights include: • A 30x50 six-car garage • Paved private driveway • 1,000-gallon owned propane tank • Brand-new 1,500-gallon septic system • High-tech water softener system • Dedicated well house • Frequent visits from abundant local wildlife Architecturally significant, privately tucked away, and rich in character—this is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Colorado's mid-century modern heritage, just minutes from the city.
