Forest Lakes is the largest neighborhood in La Plata County and for good reason, it is nestled in the tall ponderosa pines and features a 25 acre stocked fishing pond. Most lots are between 1/2 –1 acre in size and feature natural landscapes. This neighborhood is incredibly popular for custom home builders, offering an abundance of beautiful homes that are unique in style and design. Roads are gravel and offer a winding journey throughout. This road design is excellent for keeping traffic speeds to a minimum. The neighborhood sits at close to 7500 feet of elevation, offering cool temperatures, even in the hottest days of summer.
