Property is located in El Paso County southeast of Colorado Springs. The property is accessible from Squirrel Creek Rd along the southern boundary, Link Rd on the western boundary, and Bradley Road at the northernmost point of the property. The property is adjacent to Lorson Ranch and Banning Lewis Ranch.

RR-5: Allows for low-density, rural, single-family residential development, with a minimum lot size of 5 acres per dwelling unit.

The property has undergone extensive planning efforts in pursuit of approvals for a new master planned community known as Amara. Project was planned to be annexed into the City of Colorado Springs.

The property is currently unincorporated and is serviced by onsite wells for active ranching activities. The property was planned to be serviced by Colorado Springs for water, wastewater, gas and electric upon completion of the annexation into the city.

Electric: Mountain View Electric Association

Sewer: Fountain Sanitation District (partial)

Gas: Black Hills Energy (Active line runs through the property)

Existing Well: The Subject Property contains a single exempt stock-watering well (Permit No. 237443).

No Functional Water Rights: There are no material surface or groundwater rights currently associated with the property that would enable development-scale water use.

Future Service Anticipated from Municipal Provider: Future development of the Amara Project is expected to rely on municipal water and wastewater service from either the City of Colorado Springs or the City of Fountain, subject to successful annexation or service agreement.

The subject property encompasses approximately 3,172.8 acres along the border of the Cities of Colorado Springs and Fountain in El Paso County, Colorado. It was held by a ranching family for several decades before being identified as a candidate for a new master planned community. 

The property was advanced through planning efforts with the City of Colorado Springs, preparing it for future development. However, the envisioned project was delayed due to annexation challenges, temporarily halting progress.

The property is directly in the path of growth and is adjacent to the actively developing Lorson Ranch master planned community, led by the Landhuis Company, and near land controlled by Norwood Development Group. Colorado Springs continues to see robust residential activity, driven by strong employment from specialty military operations and supporting private sector industries. As nearby development expands, we anticipate renewed momentum and increased pressure to reinitiate and secure annexation of the subject property.
