With a respectful nod to Old English elegance, the Kingston Manor home sits amongst century old evergreens. The exquisitely-detailed Kingston has been professionally designed to create a home of sophisticated yet highly efficient living. European traditional elegance blends with luxuriously-connected home features. The grand great room with its high beam accented ceiling is warmed by the authentic Isokern fireplace with its impressive hand-carved limestone surround. The kitchen beautifully blends Old World charm with current living.

That sounds a lot like a custom home – and D.R. Horton’s Emerald Homes sounds a lot like a custom builder. But Emerald is more than that – a new way of looking at luxury home building, for buyers who can no longer find what they’re after from smaller custom builders, or don’t want to go through that tedious process.

“The market for new luxury homes here in Colorado is bewildering to buyers, even if they have the resources to create something special,” says Deborah Green, Sales and Marketing Manager for Emerald Homes in Colorado. “Finding custom home sites with character has become much more difficult as the metro area has grown; and very few builders have the resources to showcase the kinds of options and the quality of finishes that meet that buyer’s expectations.”

The Emerald Homes brand represents luxury and quality. In 2001, Emerald Homes joined the D.R. Horton Brand and is leveraging its resources to offer buyers a brand new choice in luxury living. Now Emerald has a presence in Piñon Soleil (a mile east of I-25 at Founders Parkway), where you can tour the Kingston Manor by appointment; or you can explore the home Sunday during a special open house that Emerald will stage noon until 4 p.m.

If the Kingston speaks to you, it can be yours for $3.29 million. You can be moved in by the holidays. Emerald also has a luxury Courtyard in Piñon Soleil, on track for a February delivery. The Kingston Showcase will be a starting point for imagining features and finishes that you could incorporate into your luxury home, either here at Piñon Soleil or the estate-sized sites at Estancia.

What you can’t see in your new home is as important as what you can. Emerald Homes works with experienced teams of builders and trade partners and is very strategic in their approach to quality construction. To ensure high standards, each home undergoes an intensive multi-step third party inspection from the start of the home to completion, inclusive of a HERS energy rating test. Living in a brand new, beautiful home is much more enjoyable and comfortable when it functions and performs at its best.

Emerald has homes coming soon and underway in both areas and is at work on a second collection of homes – with the same personalized approach but at prices from the $700s to under $1 million – for some prime sites that back to open space in two popular locations: Leyden Rock in west Arvada; and at Summerfield in Timnath, set on a verdant stretch of the Poudre River, just five minutes east of the Harmony Road high tech corridor in Fort Collins.

You can ask Deborah Green about all of those possibilities when you meet. You can see the home by appointment by calling 720-528-4964 or contact your broker. Or visit Emerald’s Kinston Manor on Sunday, noon-to four before the Broncos game.
