The Backcountry blends luxury, nature, and community into one unforgettable lifestyle—offering everything from private wilderness trails to resort-style amenities, all behind the gates of one of Highlands Ranch’s most exclusive neighborhoods.
A Neighborhood Designed for Connection and Calm
The Backcountry isn’t your average suburban neighborhood. It’s tucked away, gated, and intentionally designed to feel like a retreat. Roads don’t cut through the community—they guide you into it. That means quieter streets, slower speeds, and a greater sense of peace whether you’re walking the dog or watching kids ride bikes.
Nature weaves through every part of the neighborhood. Mature trees, natural rock formations, and open space are preserved, not paved over. Homes have breathing room between them, and many back directly onto protected land. It’s a rare blend of privacy and connectedness.
Everyday Life with Extraordinary Perks
At the heart of the neighborhood is the Sundial House—and it’s far more than a clubhouse. You’ll find a resort-style pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and even Pikes Pub with sweeping views from downtown Denver to Longs Peak. Weekly events, food trucks, and social gatherings turn neighbors into friends. Whether you’re into book clubs or running clubs, there’s something for everyone.
Just down the road is the Discovery Center, home to Lost Coffee, a favorite local hangout. Grab a cup, sit by the pond, or let the kids enjoy the play area—it’s a community gem that feels like your own backyard café.
Exclusive Access to Nature
One of Backcountry’s biggest draws? Private access to 500 acres of wilderness, reserved solely for residents. While all of Highlands Ranch can enjoy the broader 8,000-acre backcountry, living here means fewer crowds and more serene trails right outside your door.
Whether you're hiking, biking, or birdwatching, you’ll encounter a thriving ecosystem—elk, wild turkeys, and even golden eagles call this area home. This land isn’t just recreational; it’s a conservation success story.
Real Estate Snapshot: Luxury at Every Level
The homes in Backcountry are as impressive as the landscape they sit on. In 2024, the median home price is just under $1.5 million, with properties ranging from $825K to over $6.8 million. You’ll find everything from elegant single-family homes to fully custom estates, many offering five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and large finished basements.
If you’re drawn to luxury living that embraces nature and community, Backcountry delivers in every category.
Your Private Retreat Awaits
Backcountry is more than a neighborhood—it’s a lifestyle. From gated peace of mind and private trails to mountain views and meaningful community, it’s easy to see why so many buyers are drawn to this Highlands Ranch gem.
