Land with Home for Sale in Colorado Springs, Colorado
12875 Holmes Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80908
Set on 4.83 fenced acres in the heart of Black Forest, this custom home offers warmth & character while telling a powerful story of renewal after the 2013 Black Forest Fire. Thoughtfully built from the ashes of the land itself, the home incorporates reclaimed timber from the original trees, creating a one-of-a-kind residence rich in history, craftsmanship, & natural beauty. Soaring reclaimed wood ceilings & a loft immediately evoke the feel of a grand lodge retreat & the open-concept centers around a stunning floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace with handcrafted mantle also made from reclaimed wood found on the property. Log newel posts & a custom wrought iron staircase continue creating a contemporary mountain theme. The great room flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen designed for everyday living & entertaining. Features include Level 5 granite countertops/island, stainless steel appliances, copper sink, & abundant workspace. Large windows fill the home with natural light while framing views of Pikes Peak. Just off the kitchen, a spacious deck provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining & gatherings. The primary suite offers a private retreat with its own covered patio—an ideal spot to unwind and watch sunsets over Pikes Peak. A fully finished walkout basement adds incredible flexibility with a large family room, bar area, full bathroom & has a separate entrance and driveway making it ideal for rental income or multigenerational living. A reinforced concrete armory/safe room + metal fire door offers a secure space perfect for hobbyists & collectors. The property itself continues the story of restoration with newly planted Aspen, Austrian Pine, Scrub Oak, Blue Spruce, and Juniper beginning to flourish across the landscape. With no HOA, covenants, or water restrictions, owners enjoy freedom & privacy here. It's more than a home—it’s a legacy property where resilience, craftsmanship, and Colorado beauty come together in an unforgettable Black Forest setting.
