About High Forest Ranch

High Forest Ranch Community

High Forest Ranch MapAt High Forest Ranch the residents are guests of nature where you can easily be at home in the country while working in the city. Located only 15 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs and 45 minutes out of Denver—you really can have it all.

At High Forest Ranch, we see the value in space and beauty and privacy, while offering homesites ranging from 2.5 to 39 acres.We pride ourselves on a close neighborhood community. We utilize the community lodge for various community events from our annual wine tasting party and monthly happy hours to our holiday party and summer BBQ.

Adopting the theme of a "national park setting," the lodge at High Forest Ranch blends effortlessly into nature and is for all residents to use for private parties.

The deck offers breathtaking views of Pikes Peak and features an outdoor gas fire pit. A playground is situated in the back along with a sports court for an invigorating round of two on two, and a short distance away are the stocked fishing ponds perfect for catch and release or an after dinner stroll.

School District #38

High Forest Ranch is in Lewis Palmer School District #38, widely regarded as one of best school districts in the area. Lewis Palmer School District is consistently one of the top performing School Districts in the state and is committed to educating students and preparing them for future success, in and out of the classroom.

Lewis-Palmer School District 38 has grown steadily throughout the 1990s and currently enrolls approximately 5,800 students. It is predicted that growth will slow somewhat and that the district will not grow much beyond 8,000 students when current and future subdivisions are built out.
