Set against the scenic foothills of Forest Lakes on a prominent corner homesite, this newer ranch-style home offers a rare opportunity for main-level living in one of Monument's most sought-after neighborhoods. Built in 2023 and backing to protected open space, this beautifully designed Forest Lakes home offers a rare combination of newer construction, privacy, and mountain-community living. A gourmet kitchen anchors the main level with a large quartz island, white cabinetry, double ovens, designer lighting, tile backsplash, and professional vent hood, opening seamlessly to the dining area and great room featuring hardwood floors and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone linear fireplace. The main-level primary suite provides a quiet retreat, while the finished lower level adds a second stone fireplace with pre-plumbing for a future wet bar and bath ideal for entertaining or extended guest stays. Outdoor living shines with an oversized paver patio positioned to capture mountain views and Colorado evening skies. Professionally designed landscaping with mature trees and flowering shrubs creates standout curb appeal. Additional highlights include a Class 4 impact-resistant roof, central A/C, whole-house humidifier, EV-ready garage, and motorized window treatments. Enjoy access to private lakes, trails, and open space just minutes from the Air Force Academy, Briargate amenities, hospitals, and I-25 access to both Denver and Colorado Springs.
