Anyone live in Franktown or Elizabeth?

[th3w01f]

We're thinking of moving out of Highlands Ranch to get some land and I'm curious what the feedback is on Franktown and Elizabeth. We're also considering Sedalia but so far we like the properties we've seen in the Franktown / Elizabeth area better. We're trying to stay within about 45 min or so of Highlands Ranch to be near the Grandparents.

I've driven through both plenty of times and my wife went to high school in Elisabeth back in 2001 but neither of us know how it is today.

Also curious if you can shoot on your own property. I know Douglas has a 500' rule for shotguns and pellet guns and 1500' for rifles and handguns and it looks like Elbert has a rule that there is no shooting at all in neighborhoods where the lots are less than 10 acres. Just curious if anyone has any experience with either of these laws and how they're typically applied. How about archery? I can't see there being an actual safety issue shooting a bow at a backstop on a 10 acre lot.

Wife and I live in Castle Rock but we want to move that way next. We're looking at Elizabeth due to there being a Walmart and other things. Franktown is pretty quiet in terms of stores/conveniences. But then again, you're moving to the country so conveniences aren't usually on top of the "must have" list. I have lots of customers that live out that way and they're the types you'd expect. Good, down to Earth country folk. Other than that, I can't personally say how living there is these days.

This member has a sweet place just south of Franktown for sale. I was down there in March and it's a really cool setup.

Parents live in Burning Tree ranch and have a 5 acre ranchete I'm sure they would sell that is right in Franktown. Property is fenced and crossed fenced for horses and has a gorgeous 3 stall barn also. They are both retired and will be looking for a house that is more "senior" friendly sooner than later.

They both moved there after living in Highlands Ranch for 25 years. The house was a foreclosure that needed remodeled when they bought it 5 years ago. In that 5 years time they/we have extensively remodeled/updated it. Like I said they will be looking for a place more senior friendly soon enough.

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

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.

Seriously BUY MY HOME! This place has the most amazing seclusion one can find on the front range. Shoot, ATV, Hell I even have a boulder rock crawling course set up, Grow your own beef, sheep, chickens, WALK AROUND NAKED, Hunt Deer, turkey, doves, ducks, geese, and coyotes.

I have a build thread somewhere on this site, but here is my listing. http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...1-86694?row=23

We are thinking of a price drop so I can cut you an even better deal.
