Super-scenic Ravenna, the golf club wrapped around the dramatic red-rock landscape south of C-470 on Wadsworth, is only 25 minutes or so from downtown or the Denver Tech Center – but has something you’re unlikely to find shopping any other part of the south/southwest area now: big ranch plans underway, all with daylight walkout lower levels, showcased by a beautiful furnished model that opens today.
“This is the first time you’ve going to be able to be in a gated enclave of the quality of Ravenna for less than a million dollars,” says Vicki Albert – who’ll greet you at the grand opening of Remington Homes’ Plan 940 ranch at The Club at Ravenna today and tomorrow. Prices for Remington’s very creative ranch designs that have been fast sellers from Leyden Rock to Solterra, start here from the low $700s. They’ve all been upgraded to Ravenna’s Mediterranean-styled architectural covenants – a rich look in stucco and generous stone, under red tile roofs that blend seamlessly with Ravenna’s more expensive semi-custom and custom homes. “These are plans that feel cozy for two people, yet work great for a big gathering, too,” adds Albert. “They flow very comfortably.” Albert oversaw sales when Remington roared through its spacious ranches at Solterra — but in surroundings that are no match with what you’ll see today at Ravenna. “When I take people behind the gate here, it’s like, ‘Wow, this is spectacular,'” she says. Although this is the formal grand opening, four buyers who got in for early looks have already taken reservations on Remington’s 24 lots – including one couple moving over here from Remington’s ranches in Solterra. You’ll see a creative double-sided fireplace and media wall, open across the ceiling that divides the kitchen/great room from the formal dining; a big butler’s pantry; terrific master suite with separate sitting room; and a finished walkout level (finished walkout space comes standard on this and one other floor plan) with a guest suite and a party area, shown with an indoor putting green. Meanwhile, every one of Remington’s sites, in a scenic draw that divides a red-rock ridge from the cedar crested Dakota hogback, can take a daylight walkout level. A handful of sites – all still available – overlook the 11th hole of Ravenna’s championship course. The 3,450-square-foot Plan 940 is priced from $725,950 – one that will look like a value compared to anything you’ve seen for this quality of setting anywhere around the metro area – all the more so in the Southwest area where new ranches are extra rare. Order one now, and at closing Remington will pay your one-time fee for a social membership to Ravenna’s clubhouse. (A temporary club with scenic grill already overlooks one of the prettiest golf courses in Colorado; and you can scout out a new Raphael Tenth Tee Box Grill now open, just up the draw from Remington’s sites.) To tour the model, take C-470 to Wadsworth, head south four miles to Waterton Road, turn left a half mile to Dante; then turn right one block to Caretaker Road and Ravenna’s Visitor Center, for a gate pass.
