Lakefront living in Grant Ranch

Sitting lakeside along pristine blue waters that reflect the sunny Coloradoan sky above, Grant Ranch is a planned community with 8,000 residents in the City of Lakewood. Situated 15 miles south of Denver and bordered by the Rockies to the west, Grant Ranch emulates the true Colorado lifestyle. “I think of it as a classic Colorado neighborhood,” says Landon Bellum, a Realtor with the Griffith Home Team, who has three years of experience in the industry. “It has great access to the mountains and camping. You still have that suburban atmosphere and great views,” Bellum says. Mountains aside, Grant View residents are spoiled with lakefront activities, community events and endless amenities steps away.

Sunny days on the lake

The community sits along the Bowles Reservoir Number One lake, allowing anyone to enjoy aquatic sports such as swimming, paddleboarding, sailing, and fishing. Boasting 10 miles of walking trails and 130 acres of open space, getting some fresh air is as simple as stepping out the front door. Anchored along the lake’s shore is the Grant Ranch Village Center, featuring a swimming pool, two tennis courts, and a community center for special events like game nights and barbecues. Outside the neighborhood, the 60 acre Robert F Clement Park offers a splash pad, pickleball courts, walking paths, and an outdoor amphitheater. Those looking for a different scene of greenery can hit the range at the surrounding Pinehurst Country Club, Foothills Golf Course or Racoon Creek Golf Course.
