Flying Horse North

Flying Horse North is an acreage-oriented luxury golf community north of the original Flying Horse development, along Old Stagecoach Road between Black Forest Road and Highway 83, south of Hodgen Road.

The setting blends custom and semi-custom homesites with Black Forest trees, open prairie and direct access to a private championship golf course.

Community overview

Acreage homesites built around golf, trees and open space.

Flying Horse North is separate from the main 80921 Flying Horse community. The North property is farther into the Black Forest area, with larger homesites and a more rural feel while remaining connected to Highway 83 and north Colorado Springs.

Current community marketing for Filings 3, 4 and 5 shows many available homesites in roughly the 2.5- to 4-plus-acre range, including wooded, prairie and golf-course lots. Lot size, views and tree coverage should be verified from the current plat and listing for the individual property.

Current building activity

The community currently features builders including Alliance Builders, Classic Homes and Vantage Homes, with additional custom-home options depending on the filing and homesite.

Before choosing a lot: compare the recorded plat, build envelope, topography, tree removal limits, driveway position, utility connections, architectural requirements and any golf-course adjacency rules. Acreage alone does not tell you how much of the site is practical to build on.

Flying Horse North golf

A private course designed around the Black Forest terrain.

The Flying Horse North course is an 18-hole championship layout designed by Phil Smith. The routing moves through ponderosa forest and open prairie, and the club also uses an extra par-3 19th hole near the clubhouse.

Private access

Tee times are reserved for Club Members and Resort Guests. It is not a public daily-fee course.

Signature membership

The community currently states that the Signature Golf Membership initiation fee is included with Filing 3, 4 and 5 homesites. Confirm that benefit in the current purchase documents before relying on it.

Two-course club

Signature membership connects Flying Horse North with the Tom Weiskopf-designed course at the original Flying Horse Resort & Club property.

Acreage due diligence

The lot matters as much as the house.

Trees & terrain

Compare slope, drainage, tree density, mountain exposure and the actual building envelope. Two similarly sized lots can support very different home sites.

Utilities & districts

Verify water, sewer or septic arrangements, utility extensions, district taxes and any tap or connection obligations for the exact lot. Do not assume a nearby property has the same setup.

Insurance & access

For wooded acreage, check current insurance availability, wildfire mitigation expectations, driveway access and winter maintenance as part of the purchase review.

Location & daily access

Black Forest space with north-side access.

Flying Horse North sits east of the original Flying Horse community and north of the Northgate corridor. Highway 83 provides the most direct route toward Northgate, Interquest and I-25, while Black Forest Road connects south toward the broader Colorado Springs street network.

The location is more rural than the main Flying Horse community, so buyers should compare commute time, road conditions and distance to everyday services from the exact homesite.

Schools and services

School boundaries and utility providers should be verified by property address. Do not use the 80908 mailing ZIP alone to determine school assignment, jurisdiction or service area.

County records, district maps and the current title package are the right sources for property-specific answers.

Buying in Flying Horse North

Separate the land decision from the house decision.

A finished home and a vacant homesite require different due diligence. With a lot purchase, review the builder agreement, architectural process, site work, grading, utilities, driveway, landscaping and time-to-build requirements before treating the lot price as the total land cost.

For existing homes, compare acreage usability, tree cover, golf exposure, finished square footage, outbuildings if allowed, and the cost of maintaining a larger property.

Golf-course lots: confirm easements, landscaping restrictions, ball-strike exposure and course-maintenance boundaries before paying a premium based only on the view.

Selling in Flying Horse North

Acreage, views and lot position drive the comparison set.

Flying Horse North homes should be compared with recent sales that match the property type, acreage, build quality, age, golf relationship, tree cover and view orientation. A broad 80908 average is too blunt for a custom or semi-custom acreage property.

Seller preparation

Have building plans, improvement approvals, survey or ILC documents, utility information, district records, major maintenance history and any club-membership details separated clearly for buyers.

Community resources

Use current lot, club and property records.
