Flying Horse is not a single neighborhood. The community is organized into village sections at different price points, amenity levels, and build types. Understanding which section your project is in determines the process, the oversight structure, and the opportunity.
The Village Sections -- Production and Semi-Custom
The established village sections of Flying Horse -- including Turin, Milan, Torino, and others -- were built primarily by Classic Homes, the community's original developer builder, and by other regional builders. Homes in these sections are production and semi-custom builds, typically from the $700s into the $900s. For buyers in these sections today, the primary opportunity with Giudice Builds is home additions and renovations on existing homes, not new construction on vacant lots.
The Village of Madonie -- Semi-Custom and Custom
One of the final neighborhood villages in the Flying Horse master plan, Madonie is positioned along the 11th tee box of the Flying Horse South Golf Course. A limited number of homesites remain. Homes here start in the millions and are built to a higher specification than the earlier production sections. Confirm current homesite availability and preferred builder requirements directly before committing to a Madonie project.
Flying Horse North -- Custom Acreage Homesites
Flying Horse North is the premier custom section. Eighty large acreage homesites ranging from 2.5 to 5 acres, golf course views, and the North Course designed by Phil Smith. These lots represent the highest-end custom build opportunity within the Flying Horse community and among the most distinctive in north Colorado Springs.
Custom Homes on Flying Horse North Acreage Lots
Flying Horse North's 2.5 to 5-acre homesites are among the most compelling custom build opportunities in north Colorado Springs. Golf course frontage, Front Range views, genuine acreage in a master-planned context with community amenities -- this combination does not exist elsewhere in the city. Custom homes on these lots call for architecture designed around the site, the views, and the natural terrain. We design custom homes that respond to what makes a specific lot worth building on.
Home Additions in Flying Horse
Flying Horse's established village sections contain a significant inventory of homes from the 2000s through 2020s that are well-built but have room to expand. A primary suite addition, an expanded outdoor living space positioned for golf course or Front Range views, a finished basement, or a three-car garage conversion -- these are legitimate projects on Flying Horse lots where the site and the ARC guidelines can accommodate them. We design additions that match the existing home's architectural character and submit to the ARC with the documentation needed to move efficiently through review.
Renovations on Existing Flying Horse Homes
Flying Horse's earliest homes are now approaching 20 years old. Interiors from the mid-2000s that have not been updated since construction -- kitchens, primary baths, basement finishes, flooring -- represent real renovation opportunity. Unlike ONEN or the Broadmoor, Flying Horse homes do not carry the character of age as a selling point. They carry the asset of a prestigious address and exceptional community amenities. A comprehensive interior renovation at Flying Horse is an investment in bringing the home's interior up to the standard the address deserves.
Pikes Peak Regional Building Department issues permits for all Colorado Springs projects including Flying Horse. For Flying Horse properties, ARC approval from the master HOA and applicable sub-association must be obtained before permit submission.
Yes. Exterior modifications in Flying Horse -- additions, material changes, landscaping, fencing -- require Architectural Review Committee approval before work begins. Both the master HOA and your village sub-association may have review authority. We manage ARC submission and documentation as part of every Flying Horse project.
Flying Horse North has operated with preferred and approved builder designations for specific sections. Before committing to a custom build in Flying Horse North, confirm directly with the Flying Horse development team whether independent custom builders can build on available lots. Giudice Builds can evaluate this with you at the discovery consultation stage.
