The city of Castle Pines, incorporated a decade ago, is only 10 minutes south of the heart of the Denver Tech Center, accounting for why you’re seeing plenty of new development along I-25 now on the way down to Castle Rock.
But Castle Pines is also a place to find very private enclaves of luxury homes — ones with size and features that sound well beyond their price, like one that Re/Max Masters agent Arnie Stein will show you today.
At 1183 Buffalo Ridge Road, you can explore a lavishly appointed French chateau, over 5,500 square feet, five bedrooms and eight baths, on a quarter-acre lot thatap tightly wrapped in Gambel oak.
Created in 2007 by a builder as her personal home, it has none of the drawbacks of older customs in the Castle Pines area that were built 20 or 30 years ago; very much the wide-open look.
You’ll see a gabled exterior in stone, and you’ll enter beneath a brick barrel vault leading to a huge great room, with a library gallery overhead and rib-vaulted ceilings. There’s an extraordinary kitchen with a cabinet package that shows period decorative treatments on drawers, cabinet doors and fridge livery. The master, with its own fireplace, has a private entrance to a protected patio shrouded in oak; and spiral stairs that descend from the bath down to a workout room on its own walkout level.
Upstairs is a game parlor and three bedrooms, one a suite that would make this work well for a family with a teen still at home. The sellers are entertaining offers from $1.599 million to $1.650 million.
“Thatap $310-per-foot, a terrific price,” says Stein, who adds that Castle Pines has come into its own — offering not just the golf clubs, but more places to eat, as well.
Buffalo Ridge is a gated enclave. To reach, 11-to-4 today, take I-25 south to Exit 188/Castle Pines Pkwy; head west on the parkway 2.4 miles to a traffic circle, turn right on Buffalo Trail, and proceed north a block to a right at Buffalo Ridge Road; then call Arnie Stein from the gate at 303-881-3333 for the code.
