Graystone on the Green
Steamboat Springs – Jerry and Shelley Stanford, together with their business associates, are trying to take the brain damage out of developing a golf course lot in Steamboat Springs.The Stanfords have worked with KSA Architects to provide complete construction drawings for the first four homes. They are assured of flying through the design review process at Graystone. Jerry Stanford, through his contracting firm, Colorado Joint Ventures, would be happy to follow through and complete the homes on behalf of the buyers of these and all building lots.
“The architectural and structural drawings are completed,” Jerry said. “The sites are very flat and buildable, and we could be ready to go. We would be willing to tweak the plans to suit buyers needs.” Those buyers could choose to build with Colorado Joint Ventures, or not, Jerry said. The plans still come with the lots. And all 17 lots at Graystone on the Green include the $35,000 membership at Rollingstone Ranch Golf Course.
They have taken the additional step of pre-arranging financing at Vectra Bank Colorado. The terms can be customized to adapt to customers’ construction schedules.
Shelley Stanford is optimistic that the local real estate market is showing signs of a thaw even as winter sets in. However, she said one of the challenges of marketing building lots is that unlike the case of selling a completed home, it’s difficult to know when other Realtors have shown the property and who the prospective clients are. Other Realtors don’t have to obtain the keys to take clients through a subdivision.
As a condition of the subdivision approval, the city of Steamboat Springs has required that homes at Graystone on the Green be no larger than 4,000 square feet. The architectural plans prepared by the Stanfords show three-story homes – with walk-outs and walk-ups – that have four bedrooms.
The lots themselves, elevated above the golf course, offer views of Sleeping Giant, Emerald Mountain, the south valley and Steamboat Ski Area. Sizes begin at 0.25 acres and continue up to 1.05, although most are in the range of 0.3 to 0.4 acres. They are within a short walk of the golf clubhouse and Nordic skiing trails. Prices begin at $799,000 and vary into the $900s, with the most expensive priced at nearly $1.08 million.
