New Town: $400,000 homes on $1 million lots

Natural light floods the energy efficient homes built by New Town Builders.

They are “homes with elbow room” on large, premium lots that were initially going to accommodate $1 million homes, but instead will be used for homes costing half or less that amount.

Denver-based New Town Builders decided to better meet the market, is offering more affordable homes on large lots at Tallyn’s Reach in Aurora near E-470 and Smoky Hill Road. The homes range in size from 2,625 square feet to 3,258 square feet.

New Town, which prides itself on sustainable building practices and home features, is offering models priced from $400,000 to $500,000 on the over-sized lots, which are up to three quarters of an acre. And talks about green, some of the parcels have mature pine trees. Each home also includes a 2.7 kW solar photovoltaic system. In addition to solar panels, all New Town homes are Energy Star-rated.

“These properties were originally intended for million-dollar homes,” said Gene Myers, chief executive officer of New Town Builders. “But when we explored the development we saw immediately that we could fill the demand among middle-income homebuyers from the city who want a more rural atmosphere. We call them $400,000 homes on million-dollar sites.”

New Town acquired the rights to the lots in a joint venture with Carma Colorado, the developer of Tallyn’s Reach.
