Designed for Simplicity and Crafted for Living Well
For many homeowners — retirees, empty nesters, and second-home buyers — the goal isn’t more house.
It’s more freedom.
But freedom doesn’t mean compromise.
The Courtyard Collection homes combine thoughtful design with elevated interior finishes and refined architectural detail. These homes are intentionally crafted to feel welcoming, polished, and distinctly mountain-inspired.
Home features include:
- Energy-efficient construction
- Private landscaped courtyards for indoor-outdoor living
- Custom cabinetry and quality appliances
- Gas fireplaces and natural materials
- Abundant natural light and open living spaces
And one of the most valuable advantages — access to the MountainSide Home Builders Design Studio, where a professional
interior designer works with each homeowner to create a home that feels personal, cohesive, and beautifully finished.
From cabinetry selections and lighting to flooring, tile, and finishes, buyers receive professional guidance to achieve an
outstanding result — often at a level of quality not typically found in this price range.
Each home is custom-built while maintaining a cohesive architectural style within the community.
