The Highlands Ranch new homes community, BackCountry, now has a new semi custom homes builder.  Joining SheaHomes and Richmond American Homes in this master planned community is an award-winning semi custom home builder, Paragon Homes.  Paragon is a highly acclaimed builder along the Front Range known for their attention to detail, quality styling, and value.  The home in Paragon’s collection selected for BackCountry will embody the unique look and feel of the community.    

BackCountry also features the Front Range’s most prominent custom builders.  Some of these include Advanced Building Concepts, Malibu Homes, Ades, Design Builders, Wall Custom Homes and Terracina Custom Homes.  The best of the best home sites have been reserved for these luxury custom homes.  According to BackCountry’s most current newsletter, as of November 9^th, 2010, 5 out of 6 lots released on Houndstooth Court were quickly reserved.  These homes feature half-acre plus walkout sites backing directly to the 467 acres of private open space. 

If you have not visited BackCountry, it is definitely worth a look.  Although the homes seem to sit a little close together for my personal liking, it is still a beautiful community with some amazing amenities.  What you see as you pass the community from Wildcat Reserve really does not do it justice.  With more than 8,000 acres of open space, approximately 467 of which are exclusive to the residents of BackCountry, it is really like nothing else available in the area.

Discerning buyers in the market for luxury homes should definitely take a look at BackCountry.  A resort like community awaits you in this truly unique community in Highlands Ranch.  For more information or a personal tour of the community and available homes, please contact us at 720-375-2962.

Stapleton Denver is a master planned Colorado real estate neighborhood offering easy accessibility to shopping, multiple dining options, parks, and 36 miles of walking and biking trails. This unique Denver new homes communityhas an urban flavor with a suburban feel. Located within minutes of downtown Denver and offering close proximity to shops, office buildings, restaurants and schools, it is the perfect location for busy families and singles wanting the best of both worlds!

Built on the site of the old Stapleton Airport, it was the vision of mindful developers to build a sustainable “green” community. Once the concept of the Denver International Airport was created, all eyes were on the older Stapleton Airport.

Several “green” new home builders were chosen to build in Stapleton. Among those McStain became an obvious choice. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified pilot homes offer lower energy and water bills, less exposure to harmful toxins, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. LEED certification recognizes and rewards builders for meeting the highest performance standards. Consciencious Denver homes buyers can have the confidence and peace of mind that comes with owning a green home that is also environmentally friendly.

As you can see from the video below, McStain offers attention to details, inside and outside the home. They start by incorporating the surrounding environment into the homes design. The natural landscape is the inspiration behind their focus on the details, colors, and architecture.

Most visitors to Denver CO are surprised to find we have relatively mild seasons. Denverites and their visitors enjoy 300 plus days of sunshine year round.

Choosing a place to live can be a challenge when you do not know your way around. If time permits I enjoy taking my clients on a general tour of the area so you can become familiar with amenities, retail shopping centers, medical facilities, grocery stores, restaurants – well you get the idea. Looking at houses online is easy and accessible from your own living room, no matter where you are in the world. Google Earth has come a long way in providing us with the opportunity to glimpse into areas we have never ventured. Still, there is no substitute for really getting a feel for a neighborhood than driving through it.
