The lots in Forest View are all 2.5 acres or more as 2.5 acres are required in this community for septic systems. During original construction there was installed a custom designed (by Darlow Engineering, Colorado Springs), 3 compartment septic tank with 1250 gallons in the first two tanks and a “dosing siphon” in the 3rd tank. The sewage is then routed through clay piping to a custom designed 15 foot wide by 52-foot-long leaching field containing Bio Diffuser™ leaching chambers. This leaching field is located approximately 35 feet off the northwest corner of the home. The septic tanks have been “pumped” every 3 to 4 years.


Well cared and maintained. The house has Elastomeric stucco paint and was repainted the original color in 2016.

Elegant and luxurious yet rustic and comfortable, this home is filled with love and warmth and is clean and ready to move in with over 3 acres of Colorado land to enjoy.
