The Property

Former home of three dairy farms, John Allison bought the land in 1947.  After purchasing some thoroughbred racehorses in Ireland, Allison converted one of the barns to be racehorse-friendly.

Thereafter, he built the multiple ponds (fed by Black Squirrel Creek) and named them after his daughters (Frances, Mildred, Ann, and Mary). Generations of Allison’s swam and fished these ponds. After 70 happy years, Allison’s children and grandchildren agreed with a development partner to create significant changes in their farm.

The Development

The Allison family had a dream and they acted on it to change it from dream into reality. The Allison family leaves an impressive legacy and deep-rooted responsibility to make the property a safe, wonderful haven for families. The Allison family chose locally-owned La Plata Communities as its development partner for the new, exciting Farm Master Planned Community.

La Plata has been developing some of the most desirable MPCs in Colorado Springs since 1995, including Cordera, Pine Creek, and Briargate. They know how to create outstanding, quality communities, residents are proud to call home. La Plata development expertise is matched by its commitment to create a family-friendly neighborhood that features happy and wholesome lifestyles.

Some of The Farm Amenities

Plans call for almost five miles of trails and different parks that meander around the ponds and open space. Families will find they’ll reconnect with nature, always a positive for children and adults alike. More serious hikers and bikers find links to regional trails, such as the New Santa Fe Regional Trail which extends 20 miles, going all the way to the prestigious Air Force Academy.
