About the property

New Meritage Chatfield — 4BR/2.5BA, 2,562 SF on 7,150 SF Lot

Step into the Chatfield by Meritage — a modern Mountain Contemporary that balances purposeful design with family-friendly flow. This newly built home (2025) offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths across 2,562 finished square feet on a 7,150 SF lot in Windsor’s Poudre Heights. The open-concept kitchen and great room are laid out for everyday living and entertaining: quartz countertops, pebble (soft-tone) cabinetry, and a Whirlpool appliance package are included so you can move in without immediate upgrades. A nearby flex space provides a quiet office or homework center while the second level holds the private primary suite and three additional bedrooms.

Meritage quality shows in the performance features: spray-foam insulation, advanced air filtration for improved indoor air quality, durable cementitious siding for low-maintenance durability, and full-home blinds included for convenience and privacy. Practical builder touches — a drywalled two-bay garage, sump pump, and double-pane windows — are all in place. An optional rear yard fence is available through the sales counselor if you prefer a fully enclosed yard for pets and kids.

The lot provides room for a patio and landscaping while keeping typical suburban setbacks. Finish selections in this elevation keep a contemporary palette that complements the neighborhood’s newer homes. This plan is ideal for buyers who want contemporary finishes, energy-efficient construction, and flexible living areas that adapt to changing needs.

Location is a strong selling point: Poudre Heights places you minutes from Windsor Town Center retail and quick drives to Centerra and I-25 for commuting. Builder incentives are available for a limited time through Meritage’s preferred lender — ask the sales counselor for current promotions. For a move-in-ready new home with long-term efficiency and low maintenance, this Chatfield is a smart choice.

Editorial market perspective

Windsor and the surrounding northern Colorado corridor remain attractive to homebuyers seeking space, good schools, and commutability to Fort Collins and Denver. New construction in Windsor typically carries a premium for energy-efficient construction and modern finishes; inventory is lean relative to historical demand. Median single-family prices in the immediate area cluster in the mid-to-high $500ks for new builds — which places this Chatfield competitively at $573,990. Expect average days on market for new inventory to be shorter than resales when mortgage rates are stable and builder incentives are in play. Buyers should confirm incentives and lock favorable financing quickly to preserve purchasing power.
