Proposed Master Planned Community • El Paso County, Colorado
Located in El Paso County southeast of Colorado Springs, with access from Squirrel Creek Rd along the southern boundary, Link Rd on the western boundary, and Bradley Rd at the northernmost point. The property is adjacent to Lorson Ranch and Banning Lewis Ranch.
RR-5: 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, with the project planned for annexation into the City of Colorado Springs.
Currently unincorporated and serviced by onsite wells for active ranching. The property was planned to be serviced by Colorado Springs for water, wastewater, gas and electric upon completion of the annexation.
Electric: Mountain View Electric Association
Sewer: Fountain Sanitation District (partial)
Gas: Black Hills Energy — active line runs through the property
Existing Well: A single exempt stock-watering well (Permit No. 237443).
No Functional Water Rights: No material surface or groundwater rights currently associated with the property that would enable development-scale water use.
Future Municipal Service Anticipated: Development of the Amara project is expected to rely on municipal water and wastewater service from the City of Colorado Springs or the City of Fountain, subject to successful annexation or a service agreement.
Encompassing approximately 3,172.8 acres along the border of the Cities of Colorado Springs and Fountain, this property was held by a ranching family for decades before being identified as the site of a new master planned community. It was advanced through planning efforts with the City of Colorado Springs, preparing it for future development, before annexation challenges temporarily halted the envisioned project.
The land sits directly in the path of growth — adjacent to the actively developing Lorson Ranch master planned community, led by the Landhuis Company, and near land controlled by Norwood Development Group. With Colorado Springs continuing to see robust residential activity driven by strong employment from specialty military operations and supporting private-sector industries, we anticipate renewed momentum and increasing pressure to reinitiate and secure annexation of the property.
