Learn more about Black Forest

If you are looking for a little elbow room where densely populated trees outnumber your neighbors by wide margins, then considering homes for sale in Black Forest should be at the top of your list. Black Forest is located just minutes from Colorado Springs yet feels worlds apart. Ponderosa Pines, privacy and acreage size lots are just a few of the desirable amenities that draw home buyers to this area.

History of Black Forest

Up until the turn of the twentieth century, the nearly 120 square miles of land now known as Black Forest was originally comprised of a larger 1000 square mile parcel called the Pineries, stretching as far west as Divide, Colorado. Early settlers of Black Forest utilized the vast timber resources for railroad ties, further advancing the construction of the major railroad systems during the latter part of the 1800’s. The majority of the residential development and comprehensive planning of recent times took place during the 1970’s and 1980’s, beginning with the Black Forest Preservation Plan of 1974.
