Shea Homes has a wake-up call today for anybody thinking they have plenty of time to pause before reentering the market for a new ranch plan in the south metro area.
At The Canyons, Shea’s spectacular new community off the Castle Pines exit south of Lone Tree, buyer traffic jumped dramatically after Memorial Day weekend—spurred on by the chance to see two of the largest and most impressive ranch models you’ll see anywhere.
Shea’s all-ranch Retreat Collection shows big entertaining areas, each revealing dramatic uses of space, all with options for full finished basements with guest suites, and garages that have a third side-load carriage bay (on all but one of the plans).
Shea has ranch plans on view from the high $500s and the roomy Retreat ranches start from right around $700,000 — a real price that will get you into a big ranch on an available home site. A few blocks from the models, Shea’s LeAnn Peralta can show you a few ranches ready for move-in right away—including “Homestead” plan with an entertaining area thatap sized to resonate with all of the trails and open space you’ll see nearby.
It delivers four bedrooms, 3-1/2 baths, over 4,000 feet of finished space including a second bedroom with ensuite bath on the main level, and guest suites in its finished basement. With the 3-car garage with carriage bay included, itap ready now at $834,900.
Meanwhile, The Canyons has just opened The Exchange Coffee House and Information Center, where new residents are already enjoying sitting out and taking in the scenic terrain that wraps the community. You can have that very experience today: After you tour The Retreat Collection models, ask Peralta for a “coffee coin” good for a coffee at The Exchange. While there, you can orient to The Canyon’s master plan, with some of its 15 miles of planned trails already in place, and much more to come. (A third of the community’s 1,270-acre area is set aside for parks, trails, and open space.)
