Update on the McAfee estate

http://198.170.247.81/WuProperty/PikesPeakEstateAuction/Assets/WebSlideShows/MainHomeShow/index.htm

Remember the Woodland Park estate of software developer John McAfee? It’s one of the more famous houses in the area these days. McAfee spent over $20 million developing the property into a private getaway and yoga retreat, and then sold it to Patrick Wu for $5.72 million in 2007.

Wu fell behind on the payments and the property went into foreclosure.  It’s now owned by the bank and is currently listed for $4.5 million.

Jeremy has done quite a bit of research on the property for a potential buyer and was able to find a lot more information about the property.  If you’re in the market for a spectacular piece of property in the beautiful mountains of Colorado Springs, he’d love to share more information about the property with you, either via phone (719.231.9043) or email (jeremy@thecircagroup.com).

WOW – $179,900 in Briargate – NOT a short sale or bank owned!

I don’t often mention another agent’s listing on my website, but today is an exception. I was showing homes Friday and came across this cute house in Briargate with D20 schools for less than $180k.  It’s a ranch style plan with 4 bedrooms and 1648 finished square feet. It also has a 2 car garage, air conditioning, hardwood floors, and backs to open space!

Typically, the only homes close to this price in Briargate are bank owned and need lots of work, but this is move in ready. Here are a couple pictures just so you can see the condition.

Back to school for Falcon District 49

This week marks the beginning of the school year for Falcon District 49, one of the earliest start dates of Colorado Springs school districts.

Vista Ridge High School Colorado Springs Falcon District 49

Today is the first day of classes for 10th and 11th grade at Vista Ridge High School (9th grade began yesterday). Vista Ridge High School opened to 9th grade in 2007, then to 10th grade in 2008, and this year welcomes 11th grade for the first time. The final level of high school is slated to be open in 2010.

Map to Vista Ridge High School Colorado Springs District 49
Vista Ridge High School is located just off the dead-end of Dublin and Black Forest/Shimmering Creek. At some point in the relatively near future, Black Forest Road will be connected with Woodmen and Dublin will connect with Marksheffel making the school and the neighborhoods surrounding much more accessible.

If you’re intersted in seeing how Vista Ridge High School did on the CSAP compared to other District 49 schools, or to other local school districts like Academy District 20 or Colorado Springs District 11, you can request a PDF with the consolidated reports for all the high schools in any district in Colorado Springs.
