THE PROMISE OF CASTLE VALLEY Over the course of the past three decades, a stable, affordable and diverse Planned Unit Development has matured in New Castle, which serves a population seeking close community and quality housing in the “Greater Roaring Fork Region”. From 1990 to 2019, the reported population of New Castle grew from 679 to 5,203. The greatest concentration of this growth has occurred in Castle Valley Ranch, (“CVR”), which is currently home to approximately 50% of the town’s population. CVR is situated in a quiet valley and is comprised of schools, parks, open space and a diverse offering of housing options. Now, 71.99 centrally located acres, surrounded by the existing CVR and Lakota Canyon Ranch neighborhoods; is available for a savvy developer to take the next step in completing the promise of a thriving, vibrant community. Already zoned with approved residential and mixed-use entitlements, this property is perfectly situated to fulfil unmet housing needs in the “Greater Roaring Fork Region”, and to create a community core featuring opportunities for shopping, services, live/work and community gatherings.
