Being one of the Fort Collins Builders or New Home Builder to be exact has its rewards and its challenges.

Fort Collins Builders are a special sort.  They tend to do what they do for the satisfaction of seeing the accomplishments of their hard work….or that may just be the folks at Waterleaf homes.  With a mind for design and a vision of excellence Waterleaf Homes is a Fort Collins Builder that homeowner believe in.  With a large diversity of plans almost any home owner can find just what they want at Waterleaf  Home and with the new home building team on site buyers can be assured that they will be happy with their new community and their new Fort Collins home.

As quoted by the Denver Post – Mark Samuelson article from last year:  http://www.denverpost.com/realestate/ci_18095177

After 17 years in Denver big-builder scene, veteran builder Toby Terhune gave up the gig, left for Hawaii…but was back after two months, putting together a small deal on a pretty enclave you’ll see today, wrapped in open space at the very southern edge of Fort Collins. Now he’s seen bigger builders disappear, as he’s taken WaterLeaf to a concept that both Fort Collins AND Denver buyers seem to want: a mix of designs that’s heavy on the ranches, with lots of open space nearby, and per-foot prices well below what competitors have.

It’s the product he builds,” says the Sales Manager  adding that WaterLeaf’s designs come in around $15 to $30-per-foot less than the competitors she tours. She’ll give you a tour of Waterleaf Homes models, about three miles west of I-25 at the Windsor Exit, around 25 minutes north on I-25 from the E-470/Northwest Parkway interchange.

Despite that southern proximity (some residents work in downtown Denver) this is genuine Fort Collins – wrapped in loads of open space in which the college town buffered itself. “It’s an easy place to get outside,” Terhune said, pointing to Horsetooth Reservoir (15 minutes west)…Fossil Creek Reservoir (3 minutes)…a bit further to the trout waters along the Big Thompson and Poudre Rivers.
Meanwhile, Waterleaf Homes  puts on emphasis on size (even basic ranches are 1,600 to 2,100 square feet, and around 70% of buyers have Terhune complete some basement finished space as part of the deal)…as well as on delivering nicer finishes than competitors are doing. “We’re a step above them,” he says, pointing to stone exteriors, air conditioning, full appliances, rear yard fence, alder kitchen cabinets, and a tandem 3-car garage, all standard. “Toby offers around $33,000 or $34,000 more in upgrades than you’ll get anywhere else,” adds Blanchard.
And, of course, residents get Fort Collins. “It’s a small-town feel, but with big city amenities,” says Terhune. “Everybody knows everybody, but if you want professional sports, you drive 50 minutes south.” Blanchard will have the coffee on today…and can show you some new sites backing to 153-acre Pelican open space; also, a special enclave where you can have landscape maintenance and snow removal for $100/month; and a new main-floor master suite plan. To reach, take I-25 north 34 miles past 470, to Windsor exit (CR 392), then head west 3.5 miles to Lemay Avenue and turn right.
