Crystal Park Homes for Sale tend to be older style homes in an established neighborhood, with a few areas of new builds further out in the mountainous areas. Many homes for sale have fantastic Pikes Peak or front range views and some are a convenient walk to downtown Manitou Springs for shops and dining.
WOW is the reaction to this unobstructed Pikes Peak view lot located in upper Crystal Park. This is one of the last undeveloped lots with a view even close to this... The gentle driveway has been improved and ready for a well to be drilled. As well, some of the tree mitigation has been completed. The other views from this lot include Cameron Cone and many of the foothills below Pikes Peak.
This BEAUTIFUL, private lot offers multiple build site options to chose from, mountain views, city views, granite rock outcroppings and very easy, level driveway options off of Waterfall Loop or Cross Country Way (formerly Big Bear).
