About Us

THE SADDLETREE STORY

Built on Trust. Crafted with Care.

At Saddletree Homes, we build homes where life happens, memories are made, and families thrive. For over 30 years, we’ve been honored to help our neighbors across Colorado Springs and Monument bring their dreams to life through homes that are as thoughtful and enduring as the people who live in them.

Our story began with a simple belief: a home should reflect the people who live in it. That belief was instilled by our founder, Lee Bolin, a passionate builder with an eye for design and a heart for community. Lee, alongside his business partner Kelley Barcus, forged a partnership that spanned over 35 years, beginning in California with multiple business ventures and continuing in Colorado. Together, they built not just beautiful homes but a legacy of care, flexibility, and personal attention. Today, under the leadership of Kelley Barcus and our dedicated team, we carry that legacy forward with pride, compassion, and craftsmanship in every home we build.

A Builder You Can Count On

Local roots. Lasting relationships.

As a locally owned, family-run company, Saddletree Homes is deeply invested in the communities we serve. We know the local landscape, we partner with trusted tradespeople and vendors, and we understand what makes Colorado living special. Our relationships run deep. Many of our homeowners are repeat buyers, and even more refer their friends and family. That’s the kind of trust we strive to earn every day.

When you build with Saddletree, you’ll feel the difference in how we work and how we care. We don’t believe in “cookie cutter.” We believe in homes that flex with your lifestyle, reflect your personality, and feel like you from the moment you step inside.

What Makes Saddletree Different?

Personalized Homes That Fit Your Life

Your family isn’t like anyone else’s, and your home shouldn’t be either. We offer a wide variety of flexible floor plans and design options that let you create a space that truly supports how you live. Whether it’s a bonus room for your home gym, a quiet corner for reading, or a custom kitchen where your family gathers, we help bring your vision to life.

Craftsmanship You Can Trust

From sturdy construction to industry-leading energy efficiency, Saddletree homes are built with long-term value and lasting comfort in mind. But what we’re most proud of is the satisfaction our team takes in every detail, because a well-built home starts with people who care. Our warranty service and customer care continue long after you’ve moved in. We don’t just want you to love your home on day one… we want you to love it for decades to come.

A Reputation Built on Relationships

Our work is personal. We live here, we work here, and we raise our own families here. That’s why we approach each home as a promise to deliver an experience that’s supportive, honest, and rooted in mutual respect. We’re not just building any house. We’re bringing you home.
