Rural country setting on 4 acres but only a 5 minute drive to shopping and restaurants in nearby Florence. Beautiful views of Pikes Peak and the Wet mountains. Plenty of free parking. Great outdoor activities nearby like the Royal Gorge, zip lining, Arkansas river rafting, mountain biking, rock climbing, and the Canon City River Walk. Or just come relax on the deck and enjoy the view. Antiques decorate all corners of my home to celebrate the atmosphere of the nearby town of Florence. My collection of strawberry knickknacks gives "Strawberry Cottage" a warm, welcoming feel. Recent updates including luxury vinyl flooring, granite kitchen countertops, and all stainless steel appliances make for a clean, modern style. The entire home and deck are available except for the garage used for personal storage. The back acreage is also open to explore up to an overlook of the Arroyo and bluffs to the west. There is no fence for pets. I rent out my house when I am out traveling and enjoying retirement. Please make yourself right at home! I am a Colorado native and love to show off the beauty of my home state. My daughter, Ashley Wolkomir, is the property manager. Please feel free to contact her if you have any issues or questions. Sounds from a neighbor's hobby farm give the feel of a little bit of country 5 minutes away from town. Quiet, relaxing setting with plenty of space between homes. The lot has a private pathway to a bench overlooking the beautiful landscape! BEWARE of cactus if you or your pup wander off the path. The home is located between the towns of Florence and Canon City. It's a short car trip to either location. The nearby tourist attractions of the Royal Gorge and Royal Gorge railroad are about 30 minutes away. Although the home does not have true air conditioning, an evaporative cooling system common in dry climates keeps the home comfortable in the warm summer months. Because the home is in a semi arid environment, many cactus are growing nearby. Be careful when out exploring or taking your 4 legged friends on a walk.
