Plesae take a moment to view this video of my new listing in Moument,Colorado. The home will be complete mid to late September. The views are spectacular, and the Pine Hills sub is a great place to relocate, each lot there must be at least 2 acres so you know that your neighbor will not be on top of you like the homes in east Monument.
