Resident praises quality construction, ease of process: ‘Inspired Homes goes above and beyond’

With an appealing selection of both move-in ready homes and homesites that are perfect for build jobs, Kessler Ridge at New Longview gives you the flexibility to find (or build) your dream home on your schedule.

For prospective buyers who would prefer to work side-by-side with Inspired Homes on a personalized home, a variety of homesites are available throughout the picturesque Lee’s Summit community.

Plus, you can choose from an enticing portfolio of floor plans, including two-story, reverse 1½-story and ranch layouts that range from three to five bedrooms and two to four bathrooms.

After touring Kessler Ridge’s model home, a reverse 1½-story Cardinale floor plan with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, Katharine Achor opted to build her own Cardinale home and raved about the process.

“Everything was so easy,” she said.

Giving buyers an easy, enjoyable building experience is largely what drives Inspired Homes’ thoughtful, detailed process. High-quality materials like James Hardie siding are used to reduce maintenance needs while also helping to protect the home. And as a fire safety inspector, Achor appreciated the care that was taken throughout the build.

“Inspired Homes goes above and beyond what’s required for construction,” she said. “Many of the details—like the fact that they dry-wall the ceilings, even in unfinished spaces, stood out to me. It’s all about safety.”

Prospective buyers who would prefer to move faster and be in their new home in time to celebrate the holidays can choose from a number of move-in ready homes, including reverse 1½-story and two-story floor plans. Prices start in the mid-$300,000s and many of the homes include 3-car garages.

The homes are undoubtedly the stars of Kessler Ridge at New Longview, but the incredible location is a close second. The charming community borders the historic Longview Farm. Several buildings on the property are being carefully restored, preserving the rich legacy of the area.

“I love the story of renovating the Longview Farm land,” Achor said. “I’m a horse person, and I’d love to see one of those historic barns open to horses again.”

As history is brought back to life on Longview Farm, other parts of the surrounding area continue their transformation into a modern lifestyle destination with an emphasis on walkability. Earlier this year, family-owned B&B Theatres opened New Longview 7, a world-class movie theatre that’s a short stroll away from Kessler Ridge. The intimate, boutique theatre is equipped with the company’s third Grand Screen in the Kansas City area, which stretches four stories tall and seven stories wide for an immersive viewing experience.

Other nearby points of interest include New Longview Village shops, the perfect spot to grab coffee or a bite to eat, as well as Longview Lake, Fred Arbanas 18-hole championship golf course, walking and biking paths, Metropolitan Community College-Longview Recreation Center and a nearby swimming pool.

If you enjoy strolls along the lake, you might just bump into Achor.

“I love being close to the lake and taking the dogs for a run,” she said.

Families moving to Kessler Ridge are in the Lee’s Summit School District, including Longview Farm Elementary, Summit Lakes Middle and Lee’s Summit West high school.

Make plans to visit Kessler Ridge today for incredible fall foliage views and to learn more about available homes and floor plans. And once you’re moved in to your dream home, prepare to be embraced by the friendly community.

“I’ve had neighbors bring me cookies and brownies and welcome me to the neighborhood,” Achor said. “I’m so excited to live here.”
