Real estate in Franktown is located on the high prairie 27 miles southeast of Denver real estate on the crossroads of State Highways 83 and 86. The Franktown, Colorado population of about 5,000 is all about maintaining a small-town atmosphere and low-density zoning, even with the extraordinary growth all around on Douglas County real estate. Being neighborly and down home, the appreciative residents open their hearts to share the magnificent natural setting that they call home.
So breathe easy. Find yourself a piece of Colorado property for sale with a large scrub oak and some fantastic views. Come see the thick pine woodlands and grand views of Pike’s Peak and the Front Range from the deck of your new home in Franktown’s gated Riata. Will you be chasing squirrels in Fox Creek, or snapping a photo of wildlife in your backyard in Deerfield, Bannockburn or Timbers? That could be you roasting marshmallows at Burning Tree Ranch, strolling through Pinewood Knolls, or galloping through Village Pines or Buffalo Run Ranch! From home in Russellville, Kelty Farms or Woodhaven, a trailhead is just down the road. Wherever you choose to hang your hat, it will be gorgeous—repleat with the splendid views described by Katharine Lee Bates in her poem, “America the Beautiful.”
It will be fireside cozy and speckled with friendly visitors pedaling through town on route to experience the grandeur of Castlewood Canyon State Park with its Black Forest, sheer canyon walls, rock-climbing routes, and lush scenic trails for bird watching and painting wildflowers. Word of the beauty gets around.
In fact, the historical museum outside town will tell the stories of many adventures here. From pony express and wagon route, to archeological remains, nineteenth-century farm tools, mining remnants, and The Grange—a historical marker reminiscent of a political and social “farm club”—the colorful history may surprise you! James Frank Gardner once staked a claim and has become the namesake.
Children and youth generally attend the highly acclaimed county schools and a nearby private school. With a location halfway between two large cities, you can imagine the many options for higher education within 45 minutes. And there are plenty of options for churches, organizations, clubs and recreation even closer—right in town or in the neighboring communities.
The tight-knit, upscale rural community offers a retreat atmosphere and a place to recharge your batteries. And, with high-tech amenities in place, hundreds of folks love the option to be here full time, to telecommute, to write, to describe life with oils on canvas or to carve out a special niche—to realize dreams. Our staff enjoys helping you achieve your homeownership goals.
