Moving to Franktown, Colorado

Acreage & horse country

A rural crossroads east of Castle Rock where Parker Road meets Highway 86 — and the gateway to Castlewood Canyon State Park. Franktown is horse-and-hay country: custom homes on 2 to 35+ acres (some parcels far larger), wide-open vistas, and Parker's shopping close by without the subdivisions. It's for buyers who want land, barns and quiet.

🏗️ New construction & builders

Custom on acreage — the standard — build to suit on your own parcel
No production subdivisions — Franktown stays rural; new homes are custom, not tract
💡 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

Franktown is served by Douglas County Schools (A−). Rural Franktown feeds Franktown Elementary → Sagewood Middle → Ponderosa High, all in the Parker area. Always confirm the exact school a specific home feeds into before you buy — I can verify that for any address.

🌲 Parks & trails

Franktown is built around Castlewood Canyon State Park — a dramatic Cherry Creek canyon with a waterfall, historic dam ruins and miles of trail — plus open country roads made for riding and cycling.

Castlewood Canyon State Park — the star: canyon-rim and inner-canyon trails, a waterfall and dam ruins
Cherry Creek (upper) — creekside trails winding through the canyon
Country roads — miles of low-traffic rural roads for cycling and horseback riding
Pike National Forest — bigger foothills hiking a short drive west

55+ & senior living

Franktown sits within easy reach of the south metro's active-adult communities and senior services. Ask me for current availability.

Aging Resources of Douglas County offers free transportation, in-home help, medical-equipment lending and resource navigation for residents 60+.

Touring a builder or active-adult community? Register me as your agent on your first visit — my representation is typically at no cost to you, since the builder covers it.
