Floor Plans: Ranch-Style Living for Active Empty Nesters
Home: Mountain Mist, Backcountry Collection
Builder: Shea Homes
When Shea Homes created the Mountain Mist model for its Backcountry homes in the master-planned community of Highland Ranch, Colo., the builder targeted sophisticated, empty nester, active adult couples with a net worth of $500,000 or more.
Designed for people who have the time and resources to take full advantage of their natural surroundings, the homes are just steps away from neighborhood parks, a 467-acre undeveloped wilderness area and 70 miles of hiking and biking trails.
The Mountain Mist home also was designed to give potential home owners the flexibility to match their home to their lifestyle as well as incorporate many of their aging-in-place needs so it could be their home for years to come.

A Touch of Tudor a Mile High
The home’s interior design was inspired by its Tudor-style exterior. A brick facade wraps the arched entry to the dining room and a two-story fireplace in the great room.
The warm colors used throughout the interior, coupled with ebony floors and granite counter tops, allow for seamless integration of heirloom furnishings and contemporary accents in the home.
Highlands Ranch, located 12 miles from Denver, is a 22,000-acre community founded in 1981 that boasts a population of 93,477 in 29,040 single family homes and 3,305 apartments.
