I had the pleasure of giving a buyer a home tour of BackCountry in Highlands Ranch yesterday. It’s been fun to watch the march of progress in this luxury community since the original groundbreaking two years ago.
The entrance of the community – as seen at Wildcat Reserve Parkway and S. Broadway – doesn’t come close to capturing the unparalleled beauty beyond the gates. Don’t let the close proximity of the homes (as seen from Broadway) stop you from exploring this community. Shea Homes does a masterful job of incorporating shared natural space for activities thus negating the need for large yards.
Situated at 6000 feet above sea level –the views in Back Country are magnificent. One can see Denver to the north all the way to Pikes Peak to the south.
Meandering streams, ponds and grassy wetlands are integrated in to the natural flow of the land. Residents can walk or bike to one of the 6 proposed parks through an extensive and interconnected trail system.
Best of all 467 acres (which is exclusive to BackCountry residents) adjoins the remaining 8,200 acres BackCountry Wilderness Area.
BackCountry offers the usual luxury amenities – What makes it better is the uniquely Colorado back-drop. The “Sundial House”, located on a stunning ridge at the back of the development is a private lodge that includes a pool, fitness center and out- door grills. What’s better than sharing a family barbeque while watching the fox, coyote and occasional elk at the distance?
BackCountry builders include Shea Homes, Berkshire Homes and 9 custom builders. Prices begin in the upper $500,000 and continue into the million plus range. Please feel free to call me with questions or to take you on a tour of BackCountry.
