Land with Home for Sale in Fountain, Colorado
16990 Old Pueblo Rd, Fountain, CO 80817
At the heart of Cottonwood Ranch, this distinctive 35-acre equestrian estate combines private residential living with professional-scale horse facilities, substantial infrastructure, water rights, and exceptional Front Range accessibility approximately 20 minutes south of downtown Colorado Springs.
The Spanish-inspired main residence offers 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, generous entertaining spaces, two fireplaces, a recently updated kitchen with Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, marble backsplash, double ovens and a large pantry, heated bathroom floors, built-in central vacuum, a 25,000-gallon indoor heated pool, and a private Trex deck with hot tub and sweeping mountain views.
Purpose-built for serious equestrian use, the property features a 15,000+ sq ft indoor riding arena with 12 attached stalls, tack and locker areas, approximately 1,800 sq ft of attached office/apartment space, kitchen, restrooms, laundry facilities, and announcer/seating area. A separate 19-stall barn, outdoor riding arena/round pen, fenced pastures, and 1,200 sq ft workshop create substantial infrastructure for training, boarding, recreation, or a private horse operation.
Mature cottonwoods, established landscaping, multiple operational wells, expansive grounds, and thoughtful improvements create the character of a true ranch retreat, while convenient I-25 access keeps Colorado Springs and the greater Front Range within easy reach.
Whether envisioned as a private equestrian estate, training or boarding operation, multigenerational retreat, or distinctive Colorado lifestyle property, this is the operational heart of Cottonwood Ranch—an unusually complete combination of residence, acreage, equestrian infrastructure, water, privacy, and access.
A rare opportunity to own the established residential and equestrian centerpiece of a much larger legacy ranch. Also available as part of the approximately 200-acre combined Cottonwood Ranch offering.
