Sterling Ranch, CO

Sterling Ranch is an innovative 3,400-acre planned community located just southwest of Denver. The project is well underway and expected to be developed in phases called villages. The first phase is being implemented now and is called Providence Village. It will be large enough to feature up to 800 homes, a community civic center, and a recreation center.

Designed to accommodate a wide variety of residents, Sterling Ranch prides itself on being diverse with many different styles of homes and a plethora of amenities and outdoor attractions. The focus of the community is a seamless blend of sustainability, connectivity, and luxury. Residents will enjoy small-town charm without sacrificing modern convenience and sophistication.

As part of the Douglas County School District, residents have some of the best options available for their kids. Whether parents prefer public, private, or charter schools, they are sure to find what suits their needs from one of the multiple accredited schools in the area.

Those looking to stay fit and active will have many activities to choose from. With 30 miles of trails running throughout the community, residents are able to traverse freely and enjoy their beautiful surroundings. Sterling Ranch is also near Chatfield State Park and Roxborough State Park, offering residents additional opportunity to explore the scenic topography and natural habitats of the area’s wildlife.

Golf enthusiasts are sure to enjoy the stunning Arrowhead Golf Course located just minutes away. Equestrians can take advantage of the nearby Cottonwood Riding Club. Early next year construction will begin on the first of several planned recreation centers. Featuring a large pool, exercise facilities, and an extended patio deck, this center provides a close, convenient way to exercise and have fun as well as get to know others in the community.

Although summers can get into the 100s and winters can get below zero, the average temperatures in the Sterling Ranch area range from 30-75 degrees. The climate is semi-arid with a consistent average rainfall of 1-3 inches per month throughout the year. This helps the community’s rainwater harvesting system which will be used to manage and beautify the landscaping throughout the villages.

The villages will surround a town center providing commercial and retail services as well as resources for balanced living. There is a 20,000-foot civic center which will house medical services through UC Health among other community-inspired amenities. Sterling Ranch is also roughly 35 minutes away from downtown Denver, offering residents the opportunity to enjoy the busy city life as well.

In a desire to provide every household the ability to have a home that suits their individual needs and unique tastes, the villages of Sterling Ranch work with a variety of builders. There are a variety of home models that prospective buyers can visit and the ability to customize, so each new home added to the community will display character and individualized style. Additions such as beautiful landscaping, fire pits, hot tubs, and patios are also offered.
