About 721 Forest View Road
Nestled privately among the trees and off the beaten path, this updated 2.5-acre raised ranch borders Monument and Palmer Lake. As one of the original homes in Forest View Estates and Red Rock Ranch, it offers the rare benefit of no HOA. Monument Creek meanders through the property, audible from the expansive back deck with stunning mountain views, including iconic Elephant Rock. Abundant wildlife enhances the peaceful setting. The lower level features a spacious mudroom/laundry area, a comfortable living space with garden-level windows, a full bath, and a bedroom. Upstairs, real hardwood floors flow through the living, dining, kitchen, and hallways. The modern kitchen showcases white cabinetry, granite counters, glass backsplash, built-in shelving, KitchenAid appliances, dual microwaves, cooktop, pot filler, farmhouse sink, and abundant natural light. The open living room offers a fireplace and sliding doors to the large deck. French doors lead to a fenced backyard with garden area and patio. An exterior entrance opens to a versatile addition with gas fireplace and wet bar—ideal for entertaining or flex space. The primary suite includes new carpet, paint, walk-in closet, and bath; two additional bedrooms also feature new carpet and paint. Extras include a two-car garage, storage shed, ample parking, and RV space. Convenient access to Hwy 105 and I-25 completes this exceptional Monument/Palmer Lake property.
