What could upset you more than building the nicest home in Highlands Ranch, then having to relocate back to Chicago? Thatap a jam faced by two clients of Jackie Garcia with Re/Max Professionals — who’ll show you what they’re having to give up, on a 0.6-site on open space, with 270-degree views from the mountains south, north to downtown’s lights.
The seven-bedroom home at 10852 Evergold Way is in BackCountry, the gated enclave thatap the finishing touch to Highlands Ranch, where residents have their own Sundial House retreat with grotto-styled resort pool beside 467 acres of South Rim Open Space. K2 Construction Management completed the seven-bedroom/sevent-bath home early this year, to the specs of buyers who wanted a more protected setting and a better entry experience than they were seeing in comparable homes.
“Itap basically a brand-new custom home that these people put their blood, sweat and tears into,” says Garcia, who herself lives in BackCountry (her website is BackCountryLuxury.com). The price is $2.479 million — but Garcia says that more than that went into it; and that it would cost more to build now, not counting the two years it would take.
You’ll see a palette in lights-and-grays — “the colors that buyers want now,” says Garcia — along with that gracious entry experience that gradually unfolds into the entertaining areas. The home has a huge guest suite on the main level, a view-swept master with terraces on two sides, elegant dining room, a finished walkout with two suites, and a circular five-car garage where Garcia staged a sportscar shoot. Garcia, sister-in-law of Rockies former third-baseman Vinny Castilla and known for her sports clientele, has Broncos players looking at it, who could see the lights of Mile High from the back deck. All the trendiest gadgetry is in: a linear, electronic fireplace in the master, insulated interior walls and floors, quartzite counters, and a divided fridge in custom livery.
Garcia, a BackCountry specialist, has other listings from $929,900. To visit Oct. 1 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. before the game, take Broadway south from C-470 into Highlands Ranch, three miles to BackCountry’s gate and provide the address; then follow BackCountry Drive to the top of the hill, past Sundial House, to Evergold Way. Garcia is at 303-257-7788.
