If you think you can no longer be surprised by anything in Vail Valley real estate, think again – newly built golf course community; HOA-maintained exteriors; beautiful mountain views; standard finishes that rival the finest anywhere; two bedrooms priced from the upper $300,000s and three bedrooms priced from $475,000s through the upper $500,000’s for the most premier lots with unobstructed views located in the western end of the Vail Valley.
Welcome to The Villas at Cotton Ranch.
This new luxury mountain community, located on the beautiful Pete Dye golf course in Cotton Ranch, is a pastoral delight that, once seen, is difficult to resist – and the sold out Phase 1 confirms this claim. Every square foot has been designed to provide the most calculated living space and be the most aesthetically pleasing, workable place for your everyday life.
A very well thought-out, award-winning floor plan begins with a true entry from both the front entrance, as well as the garage. The great room is flooded with natural light, as is the entire home, with windows purposefully placed to provide both privacy and strategic views.
The mountain contemporary design, sought by many discriminating buyers, is beautifully equipped with Italian kitchen cabinets and large, walk-in pantry that’s closed off with a barn door.
A main-floor master suite provides for privacy and easy living, as does a main-floor laundry room. A full lower level with abundant storage, as well as the essentials for a future bathroom, is the perfect space to customize to your individual needs. And these homes are well insulated, resulting in energy savings and noise abatement.
The Villas at Cotton Ranch is not only a very special living environment inside, it also fosters an active lifestyle outside, buying you time to do the things you enjoy. For the height in luxury living, the exterior maintenance of your home is provided by the HOA. Your lawn will be mowed, watered and irrigated; your landscaping taken care of; even your driveway is plowed. You can comfortably leave your home for a few days or a few months and be assured that your property is safe and well cared for. Or simply use your time to play instead of doing yard work.
And the lifestyle in your community is wrought with endless possibilities. The public golf course and clubhouse is walking distance from your home, complete with a delightful restaurant, available for romantic dinners or drinks with friends on the deck. A swimming pool, tennis courts, recreation center and library are also a short walk away.
Because of the temperate weather in this downvalley area (west end of Vail Valley), not only is the golf season extended, but all summer outdoor activities are, as well. Biking, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, horseback riding are to be enjoyed nearly year-round. But when the snow does fall, there is cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on the golf course and, of course, world-renowned skiing at Vail and Beaver Creek just 37 miles down the road. Aspen and Snowmass are also within striking distance. With a home in The Villas in the wintertime, you could spend the morning skiing and playing golf in the afternoon — truly the best of all worlds!
Not only is the appeal of this area being recognized, but this level of design and craftsmanship at this price point never ceases to be a shock and delight to buyers.
The infrastructure for Phase II has begun, with 14 new units and a scheduled delivery time of Summer 2017. The exceptional design and craftsmanship on display at every turn must be seen to be fully appreciated. So take a little time — visit The Villas at Cotton Ranch. See if you can be surprised, this could be the perfect home for you.
