Tucked in the Southwest area of Colorado Springs with the Front Range mountains behind you and immersed in a pine scented forest (which is actually more of a rarity in the Colorado Springs city limits) there is a gorgeous new home that has changed my mind about good deals being available in a new home. Quality is apparent as you enter the small community of Bella Collina (about 15 minutes South of the Broadmoor Hotel) with just one cul-de-sac of homes.  Intimate and beautifully set among the...Read Full Story
