At a moment when the state legislature is opting whether to increase the density of existing neighborhoods across urban Colorado, one of the last remaining communities with truly large home sites is seeing sales explode.
You can come tour the newest designs that custom builders are creating for that market today and later this week, as Fox Hill stages a Spring Fling Custom Home Tour just south of Parker.
“We’re literally seeing an explosion of families reaching for more space, privacy, and healthier living” says Paige McLaughlin at Fox Hill—who took four new contracts for custom homes on acreage in the past week.
The very smallest remaining home site in Fox Hill is an acre-and-a-half, and a few range up to three acres, with native ponderosa pines, all with views of the Front Range west of Denver.
Yet every home in Fox Hill is 35 minutes from the heart of the Denver Tech Center.
According to McLaughlin, Fox Hill’s custom builders took a chance on the spring market, venturing numbers of new custom-spec homes with size and lavish features at a time when experts were unsure about demand.
“Nobody expected sales this spring to be so strong, yet buyers have been reassured by falling interest rates.”
“They’re wanting to lock in the chance for a real Colorado lifestyle at a time when those have become rare,” McLaughlin says.
Prices for custom homes ready to deliver range from $1.799 million.
“That looks good to buyers coming from Denver city neighborhoods, but even better to out-of-state buyers, whom we’re suddenly getting in numbers this spring,” adds McLaughlin
Among the homes you’ll tour is a four-bedroom, five-bath custom ranch with a garden lower level, on a big site that backs to additional open space. It’s priced at $1.95 million.
Along with those custom homes on view, visitors will see an innovative community that’s wrapped in Colorado scenery, but with fresh, contemporary architecture and good proximity to city essentials.
In addition to the very workable commute into DTC, Fox Hill delivers a full gig of fiber internet capacity to make the option of working from home attractive.
While visiting Fox Hill, you’ll see 15 final acreage home sites—the best that Fox Hill has ever released—where you could create your own Colorado vision. All are 1.5 acre or larger and have great mountain views.
You’ll get to visit homes by Camerata Homes, Picasso Homes, Sheffield Homes and GMC Builders. Meanwhile, Fox Hill is also reaching out to other quality custom builders who might create their own designs on those final large sites.
The Spring Fling Home Tour runs today and then Thursday-to-Sunday, thru April 30. Take Parker Rd south past the town of Parker, 5 miles to Bayou Gulch Rd. East on Bayou Gulch to Flintwood Rd, then south to Fox View Trail. The entrance is on the left.
The news and editorial staffs of The Denver Post had no role in this post’s preparation.
