Infinity Home Collection’s Plan 2 ranch has a contemporary elegance that captivated the judges at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference’s Gold Nugget Awards. And itap having the same effect now on homebuyers that tour it.
Since its opening in May, Infinity sold over 20 homes averaging $1.3 million each in its Prato enclave in Castle Pines Village, most of them ranches. Infinity is opening 16 more Prato sites Saturday, Sept. 1, to meet demand.
“I’ve never seen a model where buyers go from walking in to signing a contract so fast,” says Gina Gerkin, a longtime Castle Pines Village resident who works for Infinity at Prato, and who witnessed two transactions like that last weekend.
“These are models that generate the same kind of heat that we see in our trendiest city projects like Stapleton and Lowry,” says Infinity builder Dave Steinke.
That average-price sale, he adds, is for a ranch with around 4,200 square feet of finished area, including some finished basement space thatap included in the price.
Along with that comes the village’s amenities, including 24-hour gated security and EMT support; a private swim-fitness center; close proximity to some of Colorado’s nicest golf clubs, including two Jack Nicklaus courses in the Village; and a neighborly lifestyle that sports a garden club with 150 members, book clubs, hiking/biking clubs and a popular newsletter.
Prato residents get lawn maintenance and snow removal as part of the community HOA.
Can you be into Prado for less than that $1.3 million average?
Absolutely, says Steinke. “You can be here at $1.1 million, without really having to watch your options that closely,” he adds.
The price-per-foot for a Prato ranch at $1.1 million is around $261/foot, he notes — still well below average Castle Pines Village resale homes at about $300-a-foot.
The location is typically only 15 minutes from office campuses in the south I-25 corridor and works well for people moving into the area to be close to kids and grandkids. “But when you’re here, you feel like you’re a million miles from the city,” Steinke adds.
Steinke and sales director Matt Cassidy say that the opening of these 16 sites (all on single-loaded streets, not backing to another home) creates a moment in time for somebody that has been waiting for a chance to move up to this quality of community. Over half of the sites offer possibilities for a day-lit walkout lower level — a perfect complement to these plans with attractive finished space and a guest bedroom on the lower level.
And when they’re gone, they’re gone, says Cassidy. Infinity has no plans for a similar enclave inside Castle Pines Village. And prices offered on Infinity’s luxury ranch and two-story designs (including a 3,100-square-foot main-floor-master design you can tour) are likely to increase as the market moves into 2019.
You’ll see contemporary styling thatap definitely in demand by Colorado buyers now, with floor-to-ceiling glass, open-tread stairs, huge outdoor living areas, and stand-alone spaces that blend the wide-open appeal with opportunities for privacy.
