Taylor Morrison at Castle Pines Village
In Castle Pines Village, Taylor Morrison can show you big-family homes with gated security from mid-$700s
If you’ve been scouring the south metro area for a neighborhood that looks more like the Colorado you’ve imagined, Taylor Morrison Homes can show you that today in Castle Pines Village. The legendary gated community famous for its two Jack Nicklaus golf courses wrapped by million-dollar custom homes also has an enclave of family-sized homes and ranch plans, served by the same amenities and 24-hour security, with prices starting in the mid-$700s. “Our families tell us, ‘This is what we moved to Colorado for,’” says Taylor Morrison’s Arlen Cohn, who will show you a four-bedroom Keystone showhome today, six miles down the freeway from Lone Tree, with all of the trappings that put this site to best advantage. The home includes four bedrooms, a dynamic entertaining area, a big main-floor study, three-car garage including a separate carriage bay, a finished walkout basement and a giant covered deck overhead to bring in views of the Ponderosa pine forest. If you like the looks of that showhome, it’s for sale now ($990,900), as Taylor Morrison arrives at the final 13 of its original 52 homesites in Castle Pines

Village. Cohn will show you three homes set for quick movein from as low as $750,000; or you can choose a lot (three of them are dedicated for ranch plans with walkouts); or even bring in your own builder if you’d rather match one of the sites to a custom home. Included with any of those are Castle Pines Village’s secluded setting among forest and rimrock, where Taylor Morrison’s Colorado-Tudor architecture lavishly trimmed in stucco and stone is set against clusters of Ponderosa pines. The Village’s gated entries are supported by 24-hour security
so good that police claim a twominute response time. There are three community pools (two for families, one adults only). One of them anchors the Canyon Club, with five tennis courts. Buffalo Ridge Elementary, one of the Douglas County Schools serving Castle Pines, gets a nine-for-ten rating at GreatSchools.org. Cohn says south-Denver-area buyers who tour the quickdelivery homes, priced from the mid-$700s to mid-$800s, see a huge dividend in size and value over resale homes in Englewood, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Parker. “If they
find homes at this price, they’re 15 or 20 years old,” says Cohn. Taylor Morrison’s scenic surroundings have even more appeal to buyers arriving from California, Texas and other points, for jobs at tech firms like Charter Communications in Greenwood Village. Homes set for early movein include two-bedroom Crested Butte plans, each with the carriage-style, three-car garage, priced at $750,000 and $799,999; and a four-bedroom Keystone — 3,505 square feet plus an unfinished basement for $850,000.
