A path to attainable country living
The Navarrettes - Briggsdale, CO

The Navarrettes always dreamed of trading their traditional brick home in town and moving to the country with more acreage. Once they found their perfect piece of land, it was time to put their dream home on it. See how Clayton helped them build a home that was perfect for their lifestyle and budget.
For years, Shannon Navarrette and her husband Nick dreamed of living on acres of land near Greeley, CO, so they could raise their family, have animals and have space for their four dogs to run around. They wanted at least 10 acres of land and a spacious home for them and their four kids Jessica, Levye, Daniel and Dathan, but it proved to be a challenge to find exactly what they were looking for at the right price point.
Nick grew up in Greeley, and the couple spent more than 20 years there together. The family lived in a traditional brick home sitting on about a fifth of an acre, but they were ready for more land.
They spent many years looking at homes with land, but everything they found that met their needs was out of their price range.
"We really couldn't afford a house that was (already) built and get the land we wanted," said Shannon. "So, we kept searching, hoping to find something that would check all our boxes."
Discovering Clayton
During their search, Shannon and Nick discovered they needed to narrow it down to Briggsdale, CO because of its proximity to Greeley, about 30 minutes out, and there was land available around their price point. One Saturday morning, Shannon decided to stop by Clayton Homes of Evans to see what their options were for a home. She had stopped by a few times prior, but this visit proved to be different. She met with Brittney Clyncke. Shannon stated not only did Brittney have knowledge of the homes, but she also lives in one on acres of land, so she was familiar with the whole process.
