Private 5BR Raised Ranch on Nearly 1-Acre with Heated Workshop
Step onto a wraparound deck and into a rare offering: a well-updated raised ranch set on nearly one acre of mature pines in Walden Woods North. The main level centers on a vaulted great room framed by a dramatic wall of windows, hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, and an open kitchen finished with granite counters and newer appliances. Two comfortable bedrooms and two baths on the main level make everyday living convenient while the walk-out lower level adds serious flexibility — three additional bedrooms, a large bath, an expansive laundry room, LVP floors, a second fireplace, and a generous family/game room with a wet bar.
Car lovers and makers will appreciate the property’s workshop pedigree: an oversized two-car detached garage plus a third heated garage/workshop with workbenches, a paint room and 220 outlets — built for projects and storage without sacrificing yard space. The wraparound deck physically ties the house to the garage and creates seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining opportunities. Recent updates — a Class 4 roof (2023), metal deck rails and fresh interior paint (2025) — mean this home is largely move-in ready.
Privacy and scale are the story here: almost an acre of pines and natural setting provide a peaceful retreat while remaining only a short drive to regional shopping corridors, grocery stores, and outdoor trailheads. The plan lives well for families, hobbyists, or multi-generational households who value both finished interior spaces and serious outbuilding capacity.
Schedule your showing to see the vaulted great room, the lower-level entertaining space, and the well-equipped workshop. This is a unique combination of acreage, updates, and functional garage infrastructure rarely available in a no-HOA, unincorporated setting.

A factual market snapshot around 17890 Woodhaven Dr.
Homes on larger, wooded lots in eastern Colorado Springs/unincorporated El Paso County command a premium compared to standard suburban parcels. Inventory in the ~0.5–1.5 acre segment is limited, and updated homes with specialty workshops attract motivated owner-occupier buyers. Median area prices remain below this list due primarily to smaller lot sizes, but similarly configured properties trade near list when updated and well-maintained. The current environment favors sellers in low-inventory niches; properties priced competitively and presented well can see multiple offers. Buyers should be prepared to move quickly and have due diligence underway (utility verification, wildfire mitigation, and inspection) to be competitive.
Likely single-family residential / rural residential zoning typical for large wooded lots in this part of El Paso County. Verify exact code with county planning.
