Outside is where this property stands apart: approximately 4.82 acres of usable land with multiple sheds and storage buildings already in place.

13155 N Ellicott Hwy, Calhan, CO 80808
Calhan is a small, rural community northeast of Colorado Springs characterized by wide-open prairie, large lots, and a quiet pace of life. The area attracts buyers seeking space—hobby farmers, outdoor enthusiasts, and military families appreciating proximity to local bases. Commercial services are concentrated in nearby Falcon and Colorado Springs; daily life here relies on driving to regional shopping and amenities.
Strong access to open spaces, local trails, and outdoor recreation typical of eastern El Paso County; ideal for ATVs, horseback riding, and small-scale farming.
Exurban Calhan and the surrounding Falcon corridor continue to attract buyers looking for acreage and privacy while retaining reasonable commutes to Colorado Springs. Over the past year, median sale prices for similar acreage parcels have trended upward modestly; inventory remains constrained relative to demand for hobby-farm and ranch-style properties. This creates a seller-friendly pocket for well-priced listings. Buyers should expect a market where condition, usable land, and outbuildings materially affect pricing; properties with established shops or fenced pastures can command premiums. For this home at $394,999, the combination of nearly 5 acres and multiple storage buildings positions it competitively for both owner-occupiers and investors targeting short-term rental or long-term appreciation driven by exurban growth.
