Property description

An expansive farm offering unparalleled privacy and breathtaking mountain views, 5660 Sandy Creek Heights combines luxurious conveniences and the dream of Colorado homesteading. Listed by Johnnie Mallott of milehimodern, this property embodies the essence of functional rural living combined with the serenity of Colorado’s natural beauty.

Sprawling over 70 acres, this property is a haven for those seeking expansive living space and versatile outbuildings. “The privacy of the parcel and the size of the land, including the views, are the number one selling point of the property,” says Johnnie Mallott. “A close second is the vast number of large outbuildings which could have many uses, not just the ways they are currently equipped and used for.”
Recent improvements in the Fall of 2024: New predator-deterrent calving enclosure, improvements to the upper planter beds + new fencing, new material covering on the hoop house, and a livestock working pen with a squeeze Chute/corral. We have posted new photography for each of those areas.

The property’s history is rich with personal and professional achievement, as the current owner brought his lifelong passion for farming and culinary arts to this organic, non-GMO farmette. His background includes working on his parents’ farm in Austria, where he developed a strong foundation in agriculture. His culinary career began at a young age, graduating high school at 15 and starting his professional journey at 18. He has traveled extensively, learning various cooking styles in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Jamaica and working with prestigious hotel groups in the United States, including Omni Hotels and the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. He has also participated in and won medals at the Culinary Olympics, contributing as both a coach and judge as well.

A covered front porch invites entry into the great room, which features an oversized wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The kitchen, overlooking a bright dining area with outdoor access to a deck and patio, is perfect for both casual family meals and entertaining guests. The main level hosts a sizable primary suite with an en-suite bath, ensuring comfort and privacy while the upper level encompasses two more bedroom oases. The walkout basement adds significant living space, featuring a cozy living area with a wood-burning fireplace, two additional bedrooms, and two baths. This layout offers flexibility and ample room for family and guests.
The property is equipped with modern amenities to ensure comfort and convenience. The home features a Fleck 2510 Metered Water Softener, a Well Mate Water System Pressure Tank, and a Flex Lite Well Pressure Tank in the well pumphouse. Two wells on the property, each over 750 feet deep with excellent flow, provide reliable water sources. For added convenience, the home’s major systems have been impeccably maintained.
This remarkable custom-built Brannon home, combining vast functional spaces with the history and passion of its owner, is a rare find in Colorado Springs.

Lot Features

Outdoor amenities are a hallmark of this property, designed to support various agricultural and recreational activities. The property includes three predator-deterrent fenced chicken coops, four storage sheds, one loafing shed, two large greenhouses ( a 1325-square-foot Greenhouse, 850-square-foot Hoop House), and a walk-in freezer for produce. A standout feature is the 50x40-foot metal outbuilding/equipment garage with two bays and 20-foot garage doors with automatic door openers capable of accommodating a tractor and multiple truck-sized vehicles. Security and privacy are paramount, with two automatic metal and weight-controlled access gates ensuring controlled entry.

Horse Facility Features

Huge areas of fenced-in acreage for grazing, a large loafing shed secluded for privacy on the property, and gated entry to the property away from public access are notable features for equine and livestock lovers. A healthy separation between grazing areas and the main house allows horses and livestock to be wherever the owner or caretaker wishes them to be. Vast flat acreage areas are ready for as big of a horse barn + tack shed to be built as one can imagine. A separate well currently used for agricultural uses, is over 750 feet deep with great flow, and provides all the water your future stable will need!
