The Farm in Colorado Springs, CO

About The Farm

An original 1880s farmhouse anchors The Farm, a master-planned community in north Colorado Springs. Homes for sale in The Farm cover several phases between Briargate Parkway and Cottonwood Creek. La Plata Communities began developing the project around 2018. The 251-acre site preserves much of the original homestead landscape. The historic farmhouse has been restored as a community focal point. A separate Big Red Barn building serves as the main amenity center.

Multiple builders work in The Farm, including Classic Homes and Saint Aubyn Homes. Vantage Homes has also built in the community over several phases. Architecture features modern farmhouse and transitional styles. Whiteboard-and-batten siding and dark trim are used throughout the community. Standing-seam metal roofs are common on newer phases.

Lot sizes range from compact townhome footprints to larger single-family parcels. Streets follow a planned layout with sidewalks and pedestrian trails throughout. The Farm has a smaller total footprint than nearby Wolf Ranch or Cordera. The community includes its own pool and splash pad, and a trail system connects pocket parks to the open space corridor. The Farm operates an active master HOA. Dues cover amenity access and shared landscape maintenance. The HOA also maintains the historic farmhouse grounds. A capital contribution at closing applies to new buyers.

Compared with Cordera to the north, The Farm offers more architectural variety per block. Compared with Briargate's older 1980s sections, The Farm represents a much newer build era. Buyers should expect newer construction with modern energy code throughout.
