Ashe Meadows: Chateau Series by Lennar - Bakersfield, CA

Ashe Meadows: Chateau Series by Lennar was one of three Lennar collections introduced in the Bakersfield community, alongside California and Skye. The Chateau collection combined single- and two-story designs, with four documented plans ranging from 1,787 to 3,167 square feet and three to five bedrooms. The community was marketed as a masterplan development rather than a 55+ property, and the builder’s 2019 materials positioned it for modern families. Today, evidence points primarily to resale housing rather than active Lennar new-home sales.

HOMES

Lennar’s Chateau Series consisted of single- and two-story single-family homes. The builder documented four floorplans in 2019, ranging from 1,787 to 3,167 square feet of living space, with three to five bedrooms, two to four bathrooms and two-bay garages. Lennar described the designs as contemporary, with open layouts and kitchens featuring granite or quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Current Lennar sales were not verified; recent resale records show Chateau homes remain in the community.

AMENITIES

No resident-only clubhouse, pool, golf course, tennis, pickleball or fitness facility was verified in the sources reviewed. The strongest documented amenity-related feature is Lennar’s Everything’s Included program, which specified granite or quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances and integrated home automation in the homes. Nearby parks, sports facilities and recreation appear in area sources, but they are not counted here as community amenities because their resident-access arrangements could not be verified.
