Top-selling Castle Rock agent Joan Pratt will show you Sunday, Feb. 16, just how much further your dollar can travel down in Douglas County, in exchange for a few more minutes, a few more years since construction.
She’ll hold open a custom raised-ranch in Larkspur with a dramatic interior — six bedrooms, 4-1/2 baths, a three-car garage, on a near-acre lot in the trees, for $698,661.
An advantage of looking at this neighborhood called Sage Port, built 20 years ago near Bear Dance Golf Club, is that prices now reflect highway widening currently underway that add minutes to the commute.
Navigate through that hassle and you’ll find a 4,500-foot floor plan, in a community of attractive custom homes on big, forested sites, for the same price as a similar-sized tract-built home on a fifth-acre in Highlands Ranch.
Pratt, known as “Mrs. Castle Rock” with $25 million in sales last year, says 7317 Fremont Place is a rare chance to get updated entertaining areas in a pretty natural setting, for under $700,000.
“This is for a buyer that wants their kids to climb trees and to throw a ball without hitting a neighbor’s window,” she told me, as we entered a bright, soaring great room and family areas in mountain pine, with new, engineered bamboo floors, done in a contemporary, designer-picked palette that matches the mountain trim.
You’ll see loads of windows and skylights, piney ceilings, pine stair treads, a stone gas fireplace, and a wide-open kitchen-family area opening to a huge deck.
Pratt notes that the schools include Larkspur Elementary (terrific parent reviews) and Castle View High (8-out-of-10 stars for college readiness at GreatSchools.org).
She’ll have a light lunch out, and she notes that the voluntary HOA dues here is $50 a year.
One road obstruction on the way there should be reopened Sunday, Feb. 16, allowing you to exit at Plum Creek Parkway and take I-25’s west frontage road south to Tomah Road, then to head west over the tracks a block to Bear Dance Drive, and south through the golf club.
