Toll Brothers Whitley Modern Ranch — Backs Open Space at Heron Lakes
This Toll Brothers-built Whitley Modern Ranch at Heron Lakes presents an uncommon combination: a generous single-level footprint of 4,002 finished square feet with an unfinished full basement and a private lot that backs directly to open space. Built in 2024 and finished with the builder's professional design package, the home centers on a welcoming great room anchored by a sleek gas fireplace and expansive sliding door that opens onto an enlarged covered patio — ideal for year‑round indoor/outdoor living and unobstructed views to landscaped open space.
The gourmet kitchen is a showpiece: KitchenAid appliances, an enlarged island for seating and prep, and designer-selected finishes that deliver both style and function. The primary suite reads like a retreat, delivering a spa-inspired shower with frameless glass and dual shower heads plus a well-appointed walk-in closet. A second bedroom and full bath are arranged for guest privacy. Practicality meets potential: a full, unfinished basement with rough-in plumbing is ready for storage or future finished living space.
This is a low-maintenance 'lock-and-leave' offering — front yard landscaping and snow removal are included through the association, allowing you to spend time on the adjacent trails, clubhouse, or course rather than chores. Residents enjoy on-site, resort-style amenities including the TPC golf experience at Heron Lakes, a clubhouse and restaurant, resort pool, fitness center and studio, miles of multi-use trails, and community lakes for fishing and boating.
Whether you seek downsized luxury, a second home close to the Front Range, or a long-term residence with expansion upside, this Whitley Modern Ranch combines high-end finishes, privacy, and access to a robust amenity package. Confirm garage and utility specifics with the listing agent and schedule a private showing to experience the layout and covered patio orientation in person.

A factual market snapshot around 3039 Newfound Lake Rd.
Heron Lakes is positioned as a premium, amenity-rich enclave in northern Colorado. Since 2024 the market in the Fort Collins/Loveland/Berthoud corridor has stabilized from the rapid price runs earlier in the decade; inventory tends to be modest (approx. 1–3 months) and well-finished new-construction homes continue to command a premium over older comparables. Median single-family sale prices in the broader area are in the low-to-mid $600ks, but gated or golf-community new-builds frequently sit above area medians. For sellers: well-presented models priced within the builder-spec band are producing buyer interest quickly. For buyers: this property represents a chance to secure turnkey single-level luxury with amenity access and future basement expansion potential — a balance of lifestyle and long-term value in a stable Northern Colorado market.
Planned residential subdivision zoning typical for Heron Lakes; allows detached single-family homes. Exact lot zoning to be confirmed with town.
