Ryland Homes will treat you to a double opportunity today in The Meadows at Castle Rock: A chance to preview two of the most creative patio-ranch models you’ve yet seen, in a part of the metro area where patio ranch enclaves are hard to find – coveted by buyers who’ve waited for a chance to downsize, and where building sites for those are rare.
Already Ryland is seeing a steady stream of visitors that have found its newly introduced Reflections patio ranches and Patio Villas in The Meadows, without any advance publicity, says Ryland’s rep Trina Miller. Miller and Leslie Moroye will show you two dazzling single-family ranch models – each showing unusually creative kitchen-family areas and master suites, laundry areas that have direct access from the master bath, and options for solar energy systems and for invitingly finished recreation areas and guest suites on the lower level. The pair already have seven sales here well in advance of the neighborhood’s formal grand opening later this month – unusual for ranch-seeking buyers who famously want to wait and see finished models before pulling the purchase switch. Today you can tour the real thing, including one single-family model showcased as a double-master suite. And you can see plans for Ryland’s Patio Villas paired homes – priced from as low as the $360s (they’ve already attracted four of the sales). The strong demand for ranch plans is being driven by buyers who want to “right size” and want a low-maintenance lifestyle, leaving more leisure time. However, these Ryland models are already attracting a wider group of buyers than that: These sites are served by Douglas County Schools, Castle Rock parks and trails, and The Meadows’ own amenities, including its nearby Grange rec/pool center. Two homes are on track to deliver in late June – one on a cul-de-sac, with a finished walkout basement, over 3,700 finished square feet at $584,564. That price includes a fireplace and gourmet kitchen with gas range, stainless appliances, and 3-tone paint; plus Ryland’s standard features with 10-foot ceilings; hardwood floors throughout the entire non-bedroom main-level area, slab granite, and high-profile designer cabinets that fill Ryland’s 10-foot ceiling height. All homes feature Ryland’s House Works program with Energy Star 3.0 features, allowing Ryland to earn low HERS ratings certified by independent, third-party technicians. Energy Star estimates monthly savings to be in the $100-to-$150 range over older homes; and you can boost that even more with an option for leasing a solar system from Solar City. If you’re one of the first four preview-opening buyers, you can use $10,000 toward options, and $5,000 toward closing costs, providing you use a preferred lender. Ryland Mortgage will lock in your interest rate, even if you’re ordering a home for completion this fall.
