Town of Larkspur Colorado - Market Update December 2019

The Town of Larkspur is located 40 miles south of Denver and West of I-25.   The town was incorporated in 1979 and today is known for the Renaissance Festival held every year in Larkspur and the Yogi Bear's Jellystone Campground.   Most homes in Larkspur are on lots of one acre or more and surrounded by trees.   You will see lots of wildlife - deer, mountain lions, bears (brown & black), fox, coyotes and lots of birds. 

 

 

The population of Larkspur is quite low, keeping "traffic" to a minimum.  Some in the neighborhood of Sage Port have half acres, and in Douglas Park, there are some up to 70 acres.  Homes are on the West side of Larkspur are nestled at the base of the foothills.    Most homes are on wooded lots and give homes the mountain feel.  You also will find some homes atop a hill with FABULOUS mountain views!

 

Going to the grocery store will require a trip to Castle Rock, and depending on where in the town you live, it could be 15 minutes.    There isn't much in the "town", but a gas station, post office, three restaurants, and of course two golf courses with restaurants.   Bear Dance Golf Course is closer to I-25, and Perry Park Golf Course is on the West side of town.

The BEST PART about Larkspur is the view as you drop down into Perry Park.  It is lush, green and instantly gives you a sense of calm.   Driving down the road, and seeing the deer roam around, hear NO traffic, honking, etc, just the sounds of nature.    It is beautiful!

 

 

 

Looking to lower your stress level, live on some acreage and enjoy wildlife?  Call me.

Good morning, Joan... I guess people who look for homes on acreage are willing to give up conveniences like proximity to grocery stores and other shopping... I'll give up the land for the conveniences!

Good morning Joan. A consideration for those who like serenity, privacy and room to roam. They must be willing to sacrifice some convenience. Enjoy your day!

Hello Joan - one of the things I enjoy about reading market updates from across the country, is the distance from one's home base some people travel as part of their area.  Forty miles in Southern California involves not only distance but lots of time.    That might eliminate Larkspur here.  I love learning how real estate is practiced in real life in other places.

Larkspur sounds like a community we'd like a lot. Little traffic, elbow room for the soul, and nature as neighbors. Bingo.

HI Joan Cox - Funny, I was thinking of Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD when I started reading about Larkspur. This community is just what the soul needs to spread out.  I laughed at what Michael Jacobs wrote about miles and time. It is so true. Larkspur sounds like a wonderful area to live and having you as their REALTOR is the icing on the cake.

Nina, still only 15 minutes to the grocery store, and not bad considering other areas you could buy land.

Michael Jacobs I agree with you, but your traffic is much worse.  When you live in Larkspur, there is lots less traffic.   (Well, after the GAP project is finished.)
