Summary: Experience a true Colorado adventure with beautiful lake and mountain views from the kitchen, and cozy living room where family can gather by the fireplace. The deck has a great view of the lake with a large table with plenty of space - a perfect place for gathering, meals and a hangout spot where you can keep an eye on kids without going all the way down to the lake. A hot tub, perfect for chilly nights or to relax after climbing the incline. The Space: Big, spacious home with plenty of room for your friends and family to spread out and relax. Perhaps a little unassuming from the front … you'll want to hurry around back upon arriving … where the Lake of the Rockies gleams like a jewel reflecting the face of Mt. Herman and the Rocky Mountain foothills just a mile or two distant. You'll immediately see the paddle-boards available for guest use on the stand in the back. The hot-tub might catch your eye too … but let's save that for later! Back inside, you'll immediately be struck by the modern design—the luxury of this place. There is quality everywhere here, and an open floor plan with an exceptional amount of glass ensures that the Colorado sunset over the Lake and the mountains, or perhaps the views of the Ospreys hunting for trout above the surface of the water—won't be missed. There's a seamless transition in this home into the outdoor living spaces, with a stunning deck accessible both from the dining nook AND the master bedroom. The main living space is singular, and combines both kitchen, living and dining rooms for a modern social functionality that's hard to beat. People will naturally gravitate to the stone fireplace, the kitchen with its stone counters, and the walls of windows letting in so much natural light, and so much natural Colorado splendor. The master bedroom offers king comfort and a voluminous private bath, along with walk-out access to the deck. The second bedroom on this main level offers king comfort, with an additional private bathroom. Downstairs on the lower-level is an entirely separate and independent entertainment space with fanciful, modern orange-leather furnishings, a separate kitchen and dining area, along with three bedrooms, plenty of bunks and doubles and 2 separate baths. There's also an additional walkout here, providing convenient access to the LAKE, the backyard and of course, the hot tub. This home truly is special, and offers immense possibility (and capacity) in an exceptional environment.

Here is the overview of Monument Lake - https://townofmonument.org/407/Monument-Lake The Neighborhood: Monument, Colorado is located just about 20 minutes north of Colorado Springs, and about 5 minutes north of the Air Force Academy. The town is historic, quaint, welcoming and absolutely charming. There are boutique shops lining the streets, exceptional, locally-owned restaurants, bars and cafes, along with all of the necessary grocery, drug and big retail stores close by to ensure comfort and ease during your stay. There are also Colorado craft beer & cocktail tasting rooms, for a unique, Colorado entertainment experience. Monument is also known for its exceptional access to real outdoor goodness. Trails snake throughout the town and just outside of it there's great hiking, biking, off-roading and miles and miles of open-access National Forest land. There's also the Lake! The neighborhood surrounding Lake of the Rockies is new, as this home is, but just a few blocks from "downtown" Monument allowing you to walk to shops and dining if you'd like. The lake itself presents an inviting blue spectacle surrounded by the mountains of the Rocky Mountain front range, including Mt. Herman, at 9,000 ft, just about 2 miles to the west. There's fishing here, and of course kayaking and paddle-boarding when the season's right—a resort feel, with a laid-back, Colorado authenticity that's hard to come by.
