Custom ranches in the pines: Timbers at The Pinery releases 19 new home sites, 25 min. from Tech Center
Even if you’re planning a custom home, you need to start now. Prices are climbing as buyers reach for better work spaces
With bigger custom sites that are less than a half hour from the Denver Tech Center, some of them wrapped in Black Forest pines, Timbers at the Pinery was luring buyers from older subdivisions around Parker well before the Covid pandemic. But now the buyer profile wanting elbow room for a true custom home has grown much wider—some of them coming right out of the city of Denver.
“People are wanting to love where they live,” says Trent Getsch, who has watched virtually every home that his builders have ventured over the past year, disappear to a sale as soon as it was listed.
Now Getsch is releasing a new filing of half-acre to 3/4-acre sites in the Timbers, including ones with pine trees. His approved custom builders have been waiting for most of those— where they’ll build ‘custom-spec homes’ that they’ll launch this spring. Get involved with one of those builder-spec sites now, or with a few others that Getsch has held back for the general public, and one of his builders could still create a ‘true’ custom around your own tastes and needs.
Custom 4-bed ranch
After those rapid sales, only one builder in The Timbers has a spec far enough along to deliver this coming summer. That’s a custom ranch plan by Summerwood Homes— expected to come in at around 4,900 sq. feet of finished space, four bedrooms/ five baths, with some finished basement space and a 3-car oversized garage. A buyer that gets involved with that home now could expect a finished price of around $1.65 million—and of course, there’s time still to make your own choices on finish and trim selections.
From his sales center three miles east of Parker Road on Pinery Parkway South, Getsch will show you where that house is underway, and those other lots where builders are choosing plans now. Or you can pick one of those ‘true’ custom sites, along with a builder or your choice to do a dream home.
Either way, says Getsch, you need to get started now. Prices are going up quickly, as more buyers reach for nicer settings to work from home, post-Covid. At The Timbers, you can make that happen in a setting Getsch calls “city-close, country quiet’’—short commute into DTC and very accessible to metro sports and entertainment attractions.
You’ll find high-speed internet, along with natural gas and city water and sewer services— items that aren’t necessarily available in custom areas further out. And you’ll see how close these are to Pinery Country Club with golf, tennis, and pool in a family-club environment, as well as to Pradera Country Club.
Along with the site for Summerwood’s latest, you’ll see sold custom homes underway by Kopasz Custom Homes and Sterling Custom Homes. Other participating builders starting custom-specs include Ashbur Construction, Gladstone Custom Homes, JW Luxury Homes and Stately Custom Homes.
Head south on Parker Road, past Parker’s downtown, five more miles to The Pinery’s second entrance at S. Pinery Parkway and head east 2.5 miles to The Timbers sales center.
