Markel Homes is very particular when it chooses the sites for its new neighborhoods. The company develops properties close to open space, creating easy access to walking paths and bike trails. They prefer in-city locations near shops, restaurants and public transportation, giving homeowners the option to walk and bike rather than drive. They value mountain and open space views for their expansiveness, natural beauty and perspective. And they’re committed to building homes that retain their value as sound investments, with durable green, high-quality construction that lasts for decades.

“Markel Homes is offering a variety of options at Yeager Farm for buyers who are looking for a brand-new home in a great location at a great price. We’ve created a series of new ranch and two-story floor plans, and buyers may choose to build with or without a basement, depending on their needs. Starting at $249,900, these are well-designed homes with exciting, open layouts and quality finishes” says Marketing and Sales Manager Asa Welch.

We offer a variety of larger ranch and two-story styles, starting in the $300’s, and we also custom build homes. There are a variety of lot sizes and locations to choose from – like quiet cul-de-sac streets with gorgeous views of Longs Peak.”

Everywhere you see the high-end, high-style touches typical of Markel Homes: distinctive, timeless architectural designs and tasteful interior finishes, professional exterior color packages, five-piece master baths and walk-in closets, vaulted ceilings, hardwood and tile flooring, kitchens with full-sized warm maple cabinetry and large center islands.

“Stepping inside one of our homes, you’ll immediately notice how light and airy it is. There’s an easy and comfortable feeling, an open and spacious floor plan. Tasteful design details catch your eye, and abundant, oversized windows fill the space with natural light.” says Welch.

Markel Homes builds a wide range of different architectural styles amongst many Boulder County locations. At Yeager Farm, the architecture tends to be more  traditional, with a streetscape that features Craftsman styles, Rustic elevations, stucco exteriors, and also some Colorado contemporary custom homes.
