Barefoot Lakes is a serene, nature-centric community with a certain Goldilocks quality: it’s just right in so many ways. A privacy that feels remote and removed, but with all the benefits of access and activity when you want it. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle to feel peaceful, but still conveniently close to the community amenities in Firestone, Longmont and Denver. A variety of stimulating environments and activities are right outside your door, but the homes are so beautiful and well-appointed that you may just want to stay indoors.
Whether you’re a couple looking to downsize or a growing young family, Barefoot Lakes offers a lifestyle and floor plans that will meet your needs, providing you with the perfect amount of space in a place that just feels right. The only thing you have to do is let your day unfold naturally at Barefoot Lakes.
The right place The Havens neighborhood has it all
Tucked behind The Cove amenity center, nestled among native prairie land, you’ll find The Havens neighborhood of Barefoot Lakes. Community access is simple from this little oasis, but upon arriving, you still feel miles away from it all.
To add to the natural appeal of The Havens neighborhood, two new parks are opening this summer. Hideaway Park is the smaller of the two, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in fun. The green space at Havens Park is perfect for a picnic or a game of frisbee. Forgot the frisbee? No problem. Try the pre-installed lawn games like cornhole, ladder golf, and can jam. Hideaway Park is the destination for those looking to arrive and enjoy, without having to bring anything along – everything you need for a fun time is already there.
Another new park in this neighborhood is the namesake, Havens Park. Designed in the style of Denver’s expansive green spaces, Havens Park features a kid’s playground that will keep the children entertained for hours and a spacious lawn with beautiful, manicured grass that invites you to lay out a picnic in the sun after playing fetch with your dog. Trees line the edges of the park so you can always cool off in the shade when needed.
But you aren’t limited to the parks in your neighborhood – the world of Barefoot Lakes is your playground. Hop on a community trail lined with native grasses that meanders from your doorstep, behind The Cove amenity center, and into WaterSide Park.
Choose your own adventure – the options are endless.
The right space: Homes that fit your lifestyle
An abundance of choice carries over to the homes at Barefoot Lakes, where builders prioritize customization, luxury, and functional space for their homebuyers.
Brookfield Residential is currently selling two portfolios of homes at Barefoot Lakes, both located in the Havens Neighborhood. The Harvest Portfolio features large, modern homes, around 3300 square feet, perfect for anyone who needs room to roam both indoors and out. The easy, flowing layout of the Harvest Portfolio homes will appeal to families with young members – or even a few more on the way – as well as individuals and couples with a penchant for entertaining and overnight guests. If you’re a couple who looks forward to hosting the extended family for Christmas, a Harvest home is a good fit. There aren’t many of these homes left, and these will be the last Harvest Portfolio homes built at Barefoot Lakes.
Brookfield Residential’s Mosaic Portfolio offers homes with just the right amount of space. There are two-story and ranch plan layouts available, all with thoughtful features like the myHub, a flex space that can serve as a work-from-home office, kids play space, or whatever you need. The square footage with Mosaic Portfolio homes hovers around 1500 square feet, allowing plenty of indoor and outdoor entertainment areas for hosting guests and making memories. The homes feature a 3-car garage, myCommand home technology and more. Wherever you are in life, a Mosaic Portfolio home can meet your needs.
Also in The Havens neighborhood, Lennar is building new homes from its Pioneer Collection: the Evans, the Pinnacle, and the Cheton with Next Gen Suite. These spacious, single-family homes are modern and elegantly appointed, with designer details throughout and, of course, Lennar’s Everything’s Included® standard upgrades. Both the 2141-square-foot Evans and the 2380-square-foot Pinnacle plans come with above standard built-ins like eero Pro mesh WiFi systems, upgraded double-pane low-E windows, and optional 3-car garages. The Chelton with Next Gen Suite offers a space with its own entrance that’s ideal for multigenerational living – whether that’s a child home from college or a resident grandparent.
There’s something for you at Barefoot Lakes
Wherever you find yourself in life – covered in finger paint as you try to get dinner on the table, working late at your home office to make those college tuition payments, or enjoying a quiet and fulfilling retirement – Barefoot Lakes has a community for you. From the layout of your new home, to the trails winding from park to park, to the very fabric of the neighborhood, every aspect of Barefoot Lakes invites you to live the life that feels right.
The sun is setting on summer as vacations end and the routine begins again. Soon, the water activities at Peninsula Park and The Cove pool will come to a close, and Barefoot Lakes will settle into the beauty and quiet of autumn. The natural landscape will change, as it always does, as the verdant greens of summer shift into rich hues of yellow and umber. New wildlife will appear as they gather food for winter and some migratory birds will move on. And The Cove’s fitness rooms, fireplace and coffee bar offer a welcoming warmth to your day.
With a new home at Barefoot Lakes, you’ll have a front row seat to every changing season – a view that inspires you to meet each day with gratitude. For more information, visit barefootlakes.com.
