Moving to Larkspur, Colorado

Wooded acreage & golf

A tiny foothills town tucked in the Ponderosa pines and red-rock ridges between Castle Rock and Monument. Larkspur is wooded, private and golf-and-acreage country — one-acre-plus home sites, two golf courses, and dramatic red sandstone formations — yet it's under 15 minutes to Castle Rock's shopping and about 30 to the Tech Center. Buyers come for trees, space and views, not sidewalks.

🏗️ New construction & builders

Custom on acreage — most new homes are custom-built on wooded acre-plus lots
Scattered new construction — a few builders active in Perry Park and Sterling Pointe
No large production subdivisions — Larkspur stays low-density and wooded
💡 Buying new construction? Have me represent you — usually at no cost to you

In many builder communities the builder will often cover your agent's commission, so it's usually free to you — but you generally must register me as your agent on your first visit, before you tour. Then I negotiate price, incentives, upgrades and contract terms on your side.

🎓 Schools

Larkspur is served by Douglas County Schools (A−). Larkspur feeds its own elementary, then Castle Rock's middle and high schools (~15 min north). Always confirm the exact school a specific home feeds into before you buy — I can verify that for any address.

Spruce Mountain Open Space — a ~5.5-mile loop that climbs to a flat-topped mesa with sweeping views south to Pikes Peak — a Douglas County favorite right by town
Greenland Open Space — Douglas County's largest — an 8-mile loop across rolling ranchland with Pikes Peak views
Sandstone Ranch Open Space — newer trails through meadows and pine ridges with dramatic rock outcrops
Perry Park red rocks — striking sandstone formations woven through the community
Palmer Lake / Pike National Forest — bigger foothills hiking a short drive south and west
