MAGNIFICENT VIEW LOT!!! SOME PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE ENVISIONING WHERE TO BUILD ON SOME MOUNTAIN LOTS, BUT NOT ON THIS ONE! THIS ONE ALMOST SHOUTS "BUILD RIGHT HERE!!"IN THE LEVEL SADDLE BETWEEN TWO SETS OF ROCK OUTCROPPINGS. YOU WON'T NEED BOOTS AND ROPE TO STROLL AROUND THIS ONE. COULD ACCOMMODATE A RANCHER, BUT MOST PEOPLE BUILD UPWARD INSTEAD (ABOUT 32 FT) AND THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR CITY VIEW BIGGER AND BIGGER. STUDY THE PICTURES. I TRIED TO INCLUDE EVERY HOUSE WITHIN LINE OF SIGHT, BUT TREES HIDE THEM SO YOU FEEL ALONE. UNDERGROUND POWER IS VERY CLOSE BY (THE GREEN STEEL BOX YOU SEE ACROSS THE STREET), PLUS A FIRE CISTERN. CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR ASPEN GLORY THIS FALL BECAUSE THERE ARE CONSIDERABLE GROVES OF ASPEN WITHIN YOUR VIEWS. THE MOUNTAINS ARE ARRAYED AROUND YOU, DISTANT PEAKS. COME SEE FOR YOURSELF. CP AMENITIES ARE SEVERAL MINUTES AWAY, THE STOCKED FISHING LAKE, CLUBHOUSE, 88 DEGREE SWIMMING POOL (OPEN TILL 11 PM; VERY ROMANTIC BY MOONLIGHT), PICNIC AREA, PLAYGROUND, TENNIS AND BADMINTON, VOLLEYBALL AND BASKETBALL, THE EMERGENCY FIRE SHELTER AND HELIPORT (THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO HELIPORTS IN THE UPPER PARK). CP HAS DOUBLE FIRE PROTECTION. CP HAS IT'S OWN VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPT WITH PUMPER TRUCKS AND CACHES OF WATER STORED ALL OVER THE PARK, PLUS CP ALSO HAS A MUST-COME CONTRACT WITH MANITOU SPRINGS FIRE DEPT. CP ALSO HAS ITS OWN SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT AND OUR OWN CREWS PLOW ALL NIGHT TO GET EVERYBODY OUT. SOLITUDE, SERENITY, SECURITY. CRYSTAL PARK HAS IT ALL--AND SO CLOSE TO THE CITIES, YET OUT OF EARSHOT. LAKE IS STOCKED WITH 5-POUND RAINBOWS, NO LICENSE REQUIRED. THIS IS A MOUNTAIN RESORT, PRIVATE RETREAT, ALMOST LIKE A MINI NATIONAL PARK WITH A FEW HOUSES SCATTERED IN THE WOODS. IT WILL NEVER BE CROWDED, ONLY 360 SITES IN 2000 ACRES, SURROUNDED BY FEDERAL LANDS.
