Bateleur at The Preserve: Luxury Living for Active Adults in a Serene Setting
THE SHORT ANSWER
Bateleur is an exclusive 55+ active adult enclave within The Preserve at Greenwood Village, combining low-maintenance ranch-style living with the elegance and tranquility of the wider community. Homes are single-family with open floor plans and upscale finishes, and the enclave’s median sale was about $1.9 million across its six closings in the last 12 months. Residents get a private clubhouse, fitness center and spa, plus the 55 acres of wetlands and Highline Canal access that define The Preserve. Inventory is extremely limited, so timing matters more here than almost anywhere we work. Bateleur sits inside The Preserve, where Mitch Lazar lives. Mitch represented the buyer of 24 Blue Heron Drive in Bateleur, closed December 2025 at $1,825,000, and has represented the sellers of seven homes in the wider Preserve since April 2025, per REcolorado.
