Hi there Capt! Welcome back to best state in the Union! I've moved here from Florida myself, though don't have the history you do with the country. My wife is a Realtor and we would be happy to help you find the perfect place, she has been in the Springs for over 20 years so she knows the area very well. In fact, it sounds a lot like my perfect home if I can ever convince the wife.

As for Zillow, I wouldn't recommend that to do personal searches, Realtor.com is a much better search and more accurate with less spam/phishing listings.
If you'd like we can help out or if you find something we can help show it to you. Send me a PM and we can talk some more.
Again, welcome back to Colorado (for 6 month stints) and best of luck on the rehab!
