All you need to know about how buyers and their Realtors are reacting to Infinity Home Collection’s newly opened models in Castle Pines Village is to look at the sales: 16 luxury ranch and two-story designs sold in just over a month, over a third of the 46 homesites that Infinity has available inside the gates of the community, 15 minutes south of the Tech Center.
“Their first word is always ‘Wow,’” says builder Dave Steinke, taking a final walk-thru of a second showhome thatap opening Sunday, May 6, in Infinity’s Prato at Castle Pines Village. “They’re blown away. They tell us, ‘I’ve been looking for this architecture; it just doesn’t exist in Denver.’”
Amid Castle Pines’ forested topography wrapping two Jack Nicklaus golf clubs, Prato’s contemporary, wide-open designs from just over $1 million are drawing a new demographic, in an area where nearby homes are 20 or 30 years old and where new homes typically start beyond $2 million.
“We’re getting sales from people moving over from older homes, but also families with kids, either entering high school or heading for college,” Steinke adds. Some are retired; some are fully engaged in careers along the south I-25 corridor.
Behind the sales are uncommonly high visitor counts, for models inside of Castle Pines’ 24-hour gated perimeter: 75 parties each weekend. Steinke says brokers in the Tech Center, Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch and even Denver offices are bringing clients — prompted by a market where newer homes, particularly ones with main-level living, are in short supply.
The new main-floor master opening Sunday, May 6, shows over 3,100 square feet, plus a three-car garage and a basement where Infinity offers options for adding recreation area and guest suites. Next door, you’ll see a 4,222-foot ranch that has finished basement space included standard.
Both homes have the airy, contemporary feel that buyers can’t find in decades-old product: floor-to-ceiling glass, open-tread stairs, huge outdoor living areas and stand-alone spaces that draw the eye and create a sense of seclusion, while still feeling part of the wide-open experience.
Steinke and architect Mike Woodley gathered some of those ideas from luxury home areas being created now in Southern California, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
Here, those ideas are set against some of the Denver area’s best scenery, southwest to the Rampart Range and Devil’s Head Peak, prompting buyers to marvel at how close this is to work, dining and shopping.
You’ll hear about the landscape maintenance and snow removal that are part of Prato’s lifestyle, along with the Village’s extensive amenities — 24-hour security, three pools and Canyon Club, plus walkable shopping and dining at Happy Canyon Road, with the restaurants and major grocery shopping at Promenade and the Outlets, a mile beyond.
Take I-25 south to Exit 187/Happy Canyon; exit and turn right 2 miles to a second roundabout near the restaurants. Turn right on Castle Pines Drive and check in with security at Gate 3, a quarter-mile from the models. Or call David Bubes or Matt Cassidy at 720-281-0467 or 720-454-2327.
