Vacation 365 days a year at Loch Lloyd

The key to happiness is living in the place you want to live, surrounded by the people whose company you enjoy, doing the things you love doing. That in one sentence sums up why so many buyers are choosing to move to the Village of Loch Lloyd.

When one adds to the equation the remarkable architecture at Loch Lloyd, like the new model homes entered into the Spring Parade of Homes by Don Julian Builders, C & M Builders and Tom French Construction, it’s no wonder Loch Lloyd is the most successful luxury development in Kansas City.

While the Spring Parade begins Saturday, April 25, those who want an early look at Loch Lloyd’s model homes may visit this weekend from noon to 4 p.m.

Ask any Loch Lloyd resident what they cherish most about Loch Lloyd and the universal response will be, “When I drive through the gates at the end of a long day.” The moment they enter, their blood pressure drops. They leave the hectic world behind and enter a resort-like environment where they are surrounded by their friends, world class amenities and what the marketing team said is the most beautiful scenery in the Midwest.

The lifestyle at Loch Lloyd offers its residents a wide array of resort activities in an idyllic setting. Treat every day inside the gates like it’s a vacation; spend time with family and friends, play golf or tennis with your favorite foursome, go fishing, take a yoga class in the Fitness Center, dine at the Clubhouse with people you enjoy, make lifelong memories. It is a lifestyle that reinvigorates the senses, yet simplifies life — a lifestyle that allows you to make the most of each day and enjoy every moment.

At the center of the resort lifestyle is The Country Club at Loch Lloyd, where members play golf on the acclaimed Tom Watson Signature Design and enjoy all the venues that encourage healthy lifestyles, such as the fully equipped fitness center, tennis courts and swimming pools. The club also offers formal and informal dining venues provided by the award-winning culinary staff.

Loch Lloyd residents and members enjoy a multitude of activities that foster a strong sense of community, such as the Home and Garden Club, summer programs for children and a vibrant social fabric with events like wine tastings, deck crawls and festive celebrations of the major holidays throughout the year.

This idyllic lifestyle feels like it is hours from hectic city life but is actually only a few minutes from shopping and dining in Leawood and highway access.

Today’s discriminating homebuyer wants an intelligently designed home that complements the way they live; a lower maintenance home that allows them to enjoy life.

“Right-sizing through intelligent design describes the true desires of today’s homebuyer at Loch Lloyd,” said Chuck Campbell, director of marketing for FiveStar Lifestyles. “Today’s buyer wants a smarter, lower-maintenance home without sacrificing quality.

“Right-sizing is the art of eliminating unused peripheral space like the formal living room and the formal dining room, while enhancing the quality and livability of the three key areas of the home that buyers most use — the kitchen, great room and the master suite. In terms of livability and quality of life, the difference between the two is dramatic.”

Loch Lloyd has assembled what the developers believe is the finest, most experienced builder team in Kansas City and includes Willis Construction, Don Julian Builders, C & M Builders, Evan-Talan Homes, Cecil & Ray Custom Homes, Forner-LaVoy Homes, Rick Standard, Tom French Construction and the Koehler Building Company.

“Visit Loch Lloyd this weekend,” said Campbell. “Come see for yourself what it feels like to be on vacation 365 days a year.”
