Town of Larkspur Colorado - Market Update November 2020

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.

  

  

Here is what happened in November 2020 - 

9 properties sold ranging in price from $430,000 to $1,400,000

Days in MLS were 30 average days

Sellers saw 99.2% to list price

Homes sold were built from 1913 to 2017

 

With interest rates SO low right now, you are able to buy more home for your hard-earned dollars!

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, hearing 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.

Larkspur reminds me of what it once looked like when you went south of C470 all the way to Colorado Springs.

Nina Hollander next time I am in Larkspur, will shoot some photos of the older homes.   You will find most of them in the "downtown" area.

Jeff, years ago, it seemed like it was "in the boonies", but not anymore.

Good morning Joan Cox sounds like a wonderful community. Might take some getting used to the "neighbors". In September a mountain lion wandered through residential streets of Las Vegas and the entire town was freaking out for 3 hours. News crews and eveything.

Sheri, I could have owned acreage down there when I was younger, but wouldn't want that much land now.
