The Homestead parcel:

This spectacular property sits on 35 acres of wild land and is surrounded by the Roxborough Park Foundation (RPF) and Arrowhead Golf Course, (owned by Texas based Arcis Golf Corp). RPF is a private residential community and owns their roads. Arcis Golf holds the access easement agreement with the owner of the parcel. This unique red rocks parcel is the last remaining untouched example of the Ancestral Rockies and the heartbeat of the Roxborough Park neighborhood.

Our concerns:

If there is commercial development of The Homestead parcel, we stand to lose what matters most, changing this tranquil community forever. Along with severe traffic impacts, there will be increased fire evacuation risk, light and noise pollution, crime, and irreparable damage to wildlife habitats on the parcel.

 What we are doing about it:

Since 2021, a dedicated team of volunteer homeowners have worked diligently to raise awareness to all homeowners, the Roxborough Park Foundation Homeowner’s Board, and other concerned parties of the potential for development of this unique piece of land that would harm and destroy the abundance of benefits it provides to the habitat and the community in which it resides.

Timeline Updates

Fall of 2021: Pomeroy Lodging, A Canadian hotel company, in conjunction with the then owners, made a formal submittal to Douglas County for a major PD Amendment to change the zoning of this property from residential to commercial (club resort). Those owners were never members of the RPF HOA.  

If approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) Pomeroy plans to build a 40,000 square foot Nordic Spa on the East side of the parcel with hundreds of parking spots, and 100,000 visitors annually to our tranquil community. Note: Legally club resort zoning also allows for residential. If commercial zoning is not approved by the BOCC, Pomeroy plans to build 37 homes, including 6 single family and apartments and/or condos on both the east and west sides of the parcel. They have 18 water taps to support either commercial or residential.

January 2024: The Homestead parcel was purchased by Pomeroy.

February 2024: Pomeroy sues Roxborough Park Foundation and Douglas County for access to the parcel.  This is still being disputed.

September 2024: Pomeroy receives Metro District status for the parcel (3-0 vote) from the Douglas County BOCC. This quasi-governmental status gives Pomeroy the power of eminent domain.
