About the Saddle Ridge Community

This distinctive new construction home is located on Cheyenne’s expanding east side, within the desirable Saddle Ridge subdivision. Known as one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods, Saddle Ridge is an ideal place for families, professionals and retirees alike to settle. The community features a wide selection of home sizes and architectural styles, crafted by some of the area’s most reputable custom home construction companies.

Residents enjoy easy access to downtown Cheyenne’s historic attractions, as well as major interstates for a quick trip to northern Colorado or Laramie. In addition, schools, grocery stores, restaurants and healthcare facilities are all within a stress-free 10-minute drive — making daily living both simple and efficient.

Nature lovers will feel right at home thanks to Saddle Ridge’s integrated walking and biking paths, which wind throughout the community and connect to the Cheyenne Greenway. This extensive 47-mile trail system extends throughout the city, offering scenic routes for jogging, cycling and transportation.

At the heart of the subdivision, Saddle Ridge Elementary School and a well-maintained city park provide convenient access to education and recreation for young families. In the future, the community is poised for continued growth, with plans underway for the construction of a second elementary school and another park within a block of this home site — further enhancing the neighborhood’s appeal and livability.

Whether you’re looking for a friendly, convenient place to raise a family or simply want to enjoy the comforts of a thoughtfully designed neighborhood, we know you will feel right at home in Saddle Ridge.

About the Home

This charming Gateway cottage proves that style and sophistication don’t require a large floor plan! Located on a corner lot, the Sawyer floor plan showcases 1,900 finished square feet including two bedrooms and two baths on the main, plus a uniquely designed pop-top bedroom suite that increases living space upward rather than outward!

Unlike traditional home additions that take up valuable yard space, the pop-top concept elevates a home vertically, maximizing underutilized attic space to create a roomy second-level sanctuary. It’s perfect for a growing family needing space for an older child, a quiet office for a remote professional or anyone seeking additional privacy and comfort.

Fall in love with the gourmet kitchen with custom Cambria® quartz countertops, lighted 1951 Cabinetry™, Delta® champagne bronze fixtures, workstation sink, energy-efficient appliance package and a hidden butler’s pantry. A welcoming great room features a linear electric fireplace as the focal point. Two generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the main floor. An entry accent wall and custom built-ins add undeniable visual impact to this cottage.

This residence combines lovely aesthetics with advanced energy efficiency, making it as practical as it is beautiful. Equipped with a Lennox® high-efficiency gas furnace and air conditioning system, along with a high-efficiency tankless water heater, the Sawyer is built for year-round comfort and energy savings. Additional features like blown-in fiberglass attic insulation ensure optimal temperature control and long-term cost savings.

The unfinished basement offers numerous possibilities, with room to add extra bedrooms and an additional bathroom or create another space tailored to your lifestyle — whether that’s a home gym, theater or office.

Step outside and take in the professionally landscaped yard, the perfect spot to enjoy Wyoming summer evenings. A durable composite deck, conveniently located just off the kitchen, offers an ideal spot for outdoor dining or morning coffee. Every inch of this residence showcases attention to detail and quality construction that can be enjoyed for decades to come.
