Custom Home Collection in BackCountry Highlands Ranch Enjoys Proximity to Newly Opened Sundial House

Its profile against the western sky and the Front Range foothills is iconic. Stone and beams and spires recall Highlands Ranch’s hallmark windmill and the crescent design pays homage to the sun, celestial time and the seasons. Suggestive of the great Rocky Mountain peaks, its architecture is nothing short of breathtakingly bold.

It’s dramatic and rustic, unique and majestic and one would most certainly deem BackCountry’s newly opened Sundial House – with panoramas from Downtown to Longs and Pikes Peaks, to 8,200 acres of the Backcountry Wilderness Area -- the crown jewel of the gated community that begins with intrigue and finishes with ambiance and atmosphere.

“The thing my buyers love best about the Sundial House is that it’s literally out their back door. Not only is it beautiful, it’s one of the most attractive amenities I’ve seen offered in anywhere in metro Denver’s luxury communities,” says Anne Shirer, BackCountry’s Custom Collection sales director.

Residents are now enjoying the center which includes grand terraces and outdoor patios, Pike’s Pub, a demonstration kitchen, fitness and movement studios, and spa treatment rooms.

“Of course we have gorgeous homes, spectacular homesites and a knockout location, but it’s BackCountry’s amenities that set us apart time and again. Our owners love the miles of hiking and biking wilderness trails in South Rim Trail System and resort-style amenities like the BackCountry outdoor pool and outdoor amphitheater,” adds Shirer.

“Many of the custom homes we’re seeing people build really embody and indoor-outdoor approach with living areas that capitalize on the setting. I’m seeing plans for big decks and patios, sliders that pull all the way into the walls, courtyards with fire pits and barbecues. They’re designing residences that celebrate the community in which they’ve chosen to live.”

The summer’s swift sales pace continues as two homesites are currently under contract in the Custom Collection, another has been placed on hold, and four others just closed which solidifies 2010 as the Custom Collection’s strongest year yet at BackCountry.

A selection of custom homesites are now available and buyers can work with a handful of the Front Range’s most respected builders like Ades Design Builders, Advanced Building Concepts, Malibu Homes, Terracina Custom Homes and Wall Custom Homes which add to the appeal and vitality of the community. Custom Collection homes are priced from $1.2 million.

Fundamental strengths of Highlands Ranch like superb schools, convenient shopping, recreation centers, open space, trails, and a three-decade strong master planned approach continues to attract savvy home buyers. Easy access to C-470 puts residents minutes away from Highlands Ranch business parks, as well as Inverness, the Denver Tech Center, and other metro-Denver business hubs. With a full spectrum of shopping, dining and entertainment choices, BackCountry is located close to the best that Highlands Ranch has to offer.
