Why people choose Larkspur

Larkspur offers rural living with an easy I-25 commute north toward Castle Rock and Denver or south toward Monument and Colorado Springs. Most buyers are looking for acreage, privacy and views rather than a town center.

Perry Park

West of town, Perry Park is known for its dramatic red rock formations and the Perry Park Country Club with its 18 hole course. Lots range from under an acre near the club to 20 to 40 acre parcels. Some homes are served by the Perry Park Water and Sanitation District while others run on private wells and septic, so I confirm utilities for every property.

Schools

Larkspur is part of Douglas County School District RE-1. The typical feeder path is Larkspur Elementary, then Castle Rock Middle School and Castle View High School. I confirm boundaries for each address with the district.

The Colorado Renaissance Festival

Each summer the Colorado Renaissance Festival takes over its grounds on Perry Park Avenue on weekends. The 2026 season, its 49th, ran from June 13 to August 2. It is a beloved tradition, and buyers nearby should know about weekend traffic in season.

What buyers miss in Larkspur

Utilities and wildfire. Wells, septic and private or gravel roads are common, and forested lots need mitigation and early insurance quotes. Because few homes sell here, prices vary widely, so pricing depends on careful comparable sales rather than averages.
