GYPSUM, Colorado — After hovering for six years on the edge of the town’s radar, the proposed Saddle Ridge development earned approval from Gypsum, Colorado, Town Council last week.Saddle Ridge is one of the biggest development ever proposed for the community. It is a golf resort and timeshare second-home community that would be located on the eastern edge of Gypsum, directly south of Eagle County Regional Airport. This 244-acre development plan calls for 113 cabins, 109 condominiums, 309,000 square feet of commercial space, an 18-hole golf course, a 38,000-square-foot clubhouse, more than 20 acres of lakes, 30 bed and breakfast lodge units and an 100-room hotel, which developers hope will have a high-end hotel name.
