‘Best for last’ — final phase offers unparalleled views

There’s a saying that perfectly describes the 11th and final phase of Cottonwood Canyon: “saving the best for last.”

This serene community has drawn acclaim throughout the Kansas City metro for offering some of the area’s best views of natural terrain, the expertly landscaped Canyon Farms Golf Club and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. In this final phase, prospective buyers can choose from the most enticing selection of homesites yet, including some of the most amazing golf view homesites left in Kansas City.

The Spring Parade of Homes, which continues through May 12, is an ideal time to visit Cottonwood Canyon, learn more about the remaining homesites and tour two show-stopping homes that exemplify the quality of residential architecture and craftsmanship found throughout the community.

Dreams & Design Building features a four-bedroom, 3½-bathroom Everest II floor plan at 9226 Cottonwood Canyon Dr. The reverse 1½-story home, located on an idyllic homesite, is designed for functionality and loaded with thoughtful extras. Favorite features include a large deck, which is accessible from the master bedroom. Simply step out in the morning with a cup of coffee for quiet reflection before the start of a hectic day. Downstairs, a huge family and media room offers plenty of space for lounging, playing and gathering, along with two bedrooms, a patio and unfinished storage space.

A second Parade entry showcases a spacious reverse 1½-story floor plan by RW Scott Homes. Located at 17794 W. 94th St., the home’s main-level living area is enhanced by a covered lanai, which offers plentiful opportunities to soak in the surrounding views. A conveniently located laundry room is connected to the main-floor master suite. Downstairs, an inviting family room is enhanced by a pub-style bar, the perfect spot for gatherings and watch parties.

Both builders have new speculative homes underway that are nearing completion. Additionally, B.L. Rieke Homes has a new model home under construction that will debut later this year.

While you explore Cottonwood Canyon during the Spring Parade, don’t miss a firsthand look at Canyon Farms Golf Club, which features a newly built clubhouse. The fully equipped facility includes a fitness center, locker rooms and a swimming pool. While you’re there, stop in for lunch or dinner at the clubhouse’s recently opened restaurant, Silo, which continues to draw acclaim throughout the Kansas City area. The restaurant is open to the public. Canyon Farms golf memberships are available for Cottonwood Canyon residents to purchase, including individual, family and junior membership options. And because Canyon Farms Golf Club is managed by GreatLIFE KC, members can play for free at more than 20 other area golf courses, including Staley Farms, Falcon Ridge and Deer Creek.

Outside of Cottonwood Canyon, a vibrant Lenexa location offers close proximity to highways and exciting destinations like the Lenexa City Center, including the Lenexa Public Market and an indoor aquatic center. It’s no wonder that Cottonwood Canyon has earned a well-deserved reputation as a go-to destination for homeowners who covet quality, luxury, beauty and convenience.

“Where else are you going to get golf, water, and be as close to the Lenexa City Center and all that’s going on there?” said Bruce Rieke of B.L. Rieke Homes. “Cottonwood Canyon is right in the middle of it.”
