Bell Mountain Ranch

By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026

Bell Mountain Ranch sits in unincorporated Douglas County about four miles south of downtown Castle Rock, outside the town boundary rather than north or east of it. Custom homes built between 1998 and 2005 occupy parcels of 5 to 12 acres, backed by close to 1,000 acres of open space and 27 miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails. An equestrian center and a four acre park with a playground and picnic cabana serve the covenant controlled community. Bell Mountain Parkway is the spine, meeting Dawson Trails Boulevard and Glade Gulch Road on the way to Highway 85 and the Tomah Road interchange on I-25. Rhyolite Regional Park and Crystal Valley Parkway lie under two miles north.
