Black Forest, Colorado
Custom Home Builder in Black Forest, Colorado
Five-acre parcels, ponderosa pine, and a quiet that you can hear. Black Forest is where a lot of our estate work happens.
We built our first Black Forest estate in 2003 and have been back regularly since. Homes here are placed among trees, not on cleared pads — the siting conversation is usually the longest one we have with a client.
Well and septic, long driveways, propane, and defensible space all shape the budget in ways that don't show up on a per-square-foot estimate. We put them on the table during pre-construction so nothing lands late.

Building in Black Forest — common questions
Do you build on well and septic in Black Forest?
Regularly. Well permitting, septic design, and percolation testing are part of our standard pre-construction checklist for forested acreage.
How much land do I need?
Most Black Forest parcels are 2.5 to 5 acres or larger. Zoning and septic setbacks usually drive the minimum more than the house does.
