SPOTLIGHT: FOREST LAKES
Pristine mountain lake community in northwest El Paso County BY LESLIE MASSEY SPRINGSHOUSES.COM
Just to the north of the Air Force Academy and a mile west of I-25, an unspoiled setting bordering Pike National Forest is enriched with stunning native landscapes and two woodland lakes — Bristlecone Lake and Pinon Lake, sustained by an active creek flowing through. With such a convenient locale, (five-minutes from Monument, 20-minutes from downtown Colorado Springs or Castle Rock, and 45-minutes from the Denver Tech Center), getting out and about is easy and uncomplicated. “We are extremely excited about the Forest Lakes development,” said Doug Stimple, CEO of Classic Companies. “The combination of a northern location in the foothills west of I-25, plus being a community with significant water amenities makes this a truly unique living experience.” Tucked into the hillside on the coveted northern edge of El Paso County, the new development of Forest Lakes will quickly become one of the Pikes Peak regions’ favorite communities. To continue the flawless artistry of the natural surroundings, Forest Lakes will maintain approximately 450 acres of preserved open space and implement interconnecting public and private trails. Blending in two neighborhood parks, one of which is located immediately adjacent to Bristlecone Lake, will help ensure families can appreciate the genuine treat of true Colorado living. “The development really conveys a wonderful orientation,” Stimple said. “Most of the home sites face west or southwest, delivering beautiful views of the mountain ranges and Pike National Forest.” The first release of lots is happening now and is comprised of 33 luxury home sites ranging from one to five acres. These spectacular home sites are positioned on south-facing slopes alive with native shrubbery, scrub oak and presenting awe-inspiring views of Bristlecone Lake, Pike National Forest and Rampart Range. The Estate lots are managed and marketed by Flying Horse Realty; prices for the lots range from $100,000 – $300,000. “We have a great mix of additional home sites planned with 50-foot to 80-foot frontage lots coming soon,”

said Stimple. “A wide range of single family housing is being offered to accommodate a broad market segment.” The release of 80-foot wide home sites will be available during the first quarter of 2016, with a total

of 71 homes to be built within that neighborhood. The 50-foot wide home sites will follow in the summer of 2016, with up to 158 homes anticipated. Focusing on the I-25 corridor for development in northern El Paso County, Classic Homes believes Forest
Lakes will be an enticing community for folks from all across the Front Range. “Based upon our experience at Promontory Pointe in Monument, we expect to attract folks from the Denver and Castle Rock regions,” said Stimple. “The quality at Forest Lakes speaks to the kind of development we take great pride in bringing to our residents — top-quality, offering high value, location and views, ensuring sustainable value for years to come.” Award-winning education opportunities in Forest Lakes are served by Lewis Palmer District 38 in Monument. One of the smaller districts in the region, District 38 students find success through smaller classroom sizes and lower student-to-teacher ratios, posting SAT and ACT scores well above the national average. Shopping, dining, business and recreational amenities are within a short proximity of Forest Lakes
and, because the town of Monument continues to grow, additional services are always being integrated to meet the needs of residents. If you’re interested in learning more about real estate opportunities in Forest Lakes, you should plan to attend the October 8th Grand Opening Celebration at the future Waterfront Park. Guests are invited to enjoy authentic Oktoberfest-style fare while experiencing the property in person, visiting with preferred builders, or even selecting and reserving lots. Keep in mind that everyone interested in attending the Grand Opening needs to RSVP online at ForestLakesColorado. com/RSVP. Prospective homebuyers are also encouraged to join the Forest Lakes interest list at ForestLakesColorado.com to be among the first to know about future lot releases, development timelines and more.
