The combination that serious Conifer buyers are always chasing — fully remodeled, no HOA, public water and sewer, Pikes Peak views, county-maintained road, Highway 285 under 10 minutes — just showed up at 30884 Kings Valley Drive, listed at $750,000. In 18 years on this corridor, I can tell you that combination at this price point in Jefferson County is not routine.

Here’s what the number actually buys.

The Infrastructure First

No HOA. Public water and sewer. County-maintained paved road. Two access routes to Hwy 285. South-facing orientation for passive solar snow clearing.

For buyers who have done their homework on foothills real estate, that paragraph just eliminated the most common sources of surprise ownership costs in mountain property. For buyers earlier in their research, [this piece on what to evaluate before buying in the foothills](internal link to Piece 1) is worth reading before you schedule a showing anywhere on the 285 corridor.

The Remodel

This is a 1973 home that has been genuinely updated — not cosmetically refreshed. The distinction matters.

Radiant floor heat throughout the main level. Tankless water heater. Smart appliances, thermostat, and window coverings. Wired high-speed internet. These are infrastructure decisions made by owners who were thinking about winter performance and long-term ownership costs, not just resale photography.

The great room — open-concept kitchen, dining, and living — was designed around the Pikes Peak view corridor, with a newer slider opening onto the south-facing deck and a stone tile gas fireplace with wood mantle anchoring the space. The remodeled kitchen has concrete counters, a pot filler, hidden island storage, a beverage sink, and smart stainless appliances. It’s a kitchen that takes cooking seriously.

The primary suite includes a five-piece en suite with heated floors, dual vanities, a heated jetted soaking tub, a three-head walk-in tiled shower, and in-closet stackable laundry. The finished basement adds a family room with gas stove and wired sound system, a third bedroom, half bath, and mudroom entry from the heated insulated 2-car garage.

The Property

3 bed / 2.5 bath / 1,872 sq ft on 0.81 wooded acres. Granite rock outcroppings, stone patio, front and back decks, fire pit, hot tub, dog run, and 8 total parking spaces including the heated garage and covered under-deck space. Jefferson County R-1 schools — Elk Creek Elementary, West Jefferson Middle, Conifer High.

At $401 per square foot total and $656 per square foot finished, this sits at a premium to the broader Conifer market. For a buyer who has priced out what fully remodeled and genuinely turnkey costs in Jefferson County, that number lands where it should.

The Location

10 minutes to Staunton State Park. Minutes to Kings Valley amenities. 45 minutes to Denver under normal conditions. Two access routes means you’re not dependent on a single road in winter — a detail that sounds minor until February.

The Showing

Open house Saturday May 30th, 12–4pm. Private showings available by appointment — reach out directly, showings start Saturday and this one won’t sit.
