Cave Spring Ranch — a substantial 40-acre offering in rural Elbert — pairs modern, comfortable living with immediate, practical outbuildings for equipment, livestock, and short-term rental income. The primary ranch-style residence (built 2019) provides an expansive footprint — the listing reports 9,180 total square feet of structure with roughly 7,770 sq ft finished living space (4,590 sf main level; 3,180 sf south-facing walkout). The structured data lists 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms (the narrative references 9 bedrooms; please confirm with the seller), making the layout ideal for large family living, retreats, or multi-unit hosting.
Beyond the main house the property includes a private 40x30 studio apartment, perfect as a guest suite or independent rental; a 40x60x16 insulated & heated metal shop with concrete floor, full insulation, and two 14-foot overhead doors; a 42x64 pole barn for covered equipment storage; and a 12x24 chicken coop. The shop is configured with a dedicated workshop zone and shelving — equipment and recreational vehicles are easily accommodated. The parcel’s level terrain, scattered ponderosa pines, and west-facing Front Range vistas (including views of Pikes Peak) combine productive acreage with dramatic scenery.
This ranch has been used, in part, as a short-term vacation rental and is well-positioned for buyers who want a turnkey mix of lifestyle and revenue. With multiple living areas and extensive barns/shops, the property supports equestrian pursuits, hobby farming, or a robust equipment/vehicle footprint without immediate capital expenditure. Road access is typical for the area; services and shopping are available in nearby towns (Elbert, Elizabeth) with broader amenities reachable in Parker and Castle Rock.
Practical notes: the property is listed at $1,595,000. Prospective buyers should request well/water documentation, septic/permitting records and confirm bedroom counts and finished square footage during inspection. For ranch buyers seeking space, usable infrastructure, and modern living — all within driving distance of the Denver metro — Cave Spring Ranch is a rare combination of scale, function, and scenic appeal.
