Anyone live in Franktown or Elizabeth?

[TRnCO]

Wife and I have lived around Elizabeth now for 16 years. We just sold our last house that was N.E. of town about 12 miles that sits on 4 acres and had HOA. there was no problem shooting archery, but anything that went bang was a no no.
Our new house sits on 40 acres just south of town and no problem shooting, what ever ya want. Most all my neighbors shoot too. We love it out there.
Plus Elbert county doesn't require emissions and when you buy big ticket items you pay lower taxes and no RTD tax. Septic and water wells so you don't have those expenses from the city either.

What's the story with the 2nd building - it's that 2-story behind the house, right? Pretty bad shape?

Thanks for all the feedback. We're not quite ready yet; we've still got to have the baby in 6 weeks and get this house up for sale. One nice thing about Highlands Ranch is that the last 4 houses on our street all sold within 1 week (last one was just last week).

Seeing some nice neighborhoods both north and south (a couple 10 mi North and one 6 mi due south) of the town with 35 acre + lots.

It can be anything you want. Yes it is not in the greatest shape, but it could be great. Shoot me an offer and I will make it anything you want it to be. It has gas, electric, and drywall. It is a art studio. That works great as a warm place to call coyotes in from.

I live just outside of town on 5 acres with zero hoa rules. Been out here about 15 yrs without much to complain about except the drive. If you like to do things in Denver and go out to it eat a lot I would look as close to Castle Rock as you can afford. We pretty much have everything you could want out here except a lumber yard. Plus Ben Lomand is only about a 40 minute drive and they still have openings. So if you find a place that you don't want to shoot on the property that is always an option.

One more thing Franktown is still Douglas County which I wouldn't live in if I had the choice to live in Elbert County.

I live 6 miles NW of Elizabeth, and it is great. It is 13 miles into Parker if I need anything else that Elizabeth doesn't have. Short section of gravel road with 3 other houses on it. I haven't had any problems shooting out there either.

Temporarily living in Burning Tree ranch while were house hunting, unfortunately everything in Franktown is WAY out of our price range so we'll probably end up in Elizabeth too, but I love Franktown.
