Picturesque surroundings without maintenance hassles

Buying your dream home in idyllic, lifestyle-oriented surroundings becomes much less appealing when you spend all of your free time keeping up with lawn maintenance, snow removal and other less-than-appealing tasks.

At Cottonwood Canyon, the focus is on homeowners and ensuring they have the best experience possible, whether it’s living in a quality-built home tailored to their personal preferences, relaxing with some of the best views in Kansas City or enjoying a round of golf at Canyon Farms golf course, which winds through the community.

That experience extends to the convenience and peace of mind made possible by a maintenance-provided lifestyle. Low homeowner association dues ($150 a month) include snow removal, trash and lawn care, giving Cottonwood Canyon residents more time to enjoy their homes and the surrounding community, rather than deal with the burden of exterior chores.

Although winter weather inhibits time spent outside (especially on the golf course), there’s never been a better time to buy a home in Cottonwood Canyon and be ready for sun and fun throughout 2016. Prospective homeowners can select from 23 new home sites, including eight premier golf and lake home sites. Combine those unmatched locations with floor plans from some of Kansas City’s best builders, and prospective homeowners have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make their dream home a reality.

Cottonwood Canyon features homes from Starr Homes, Don Julian Builders, B.L. Rieke Custom Homes, Brown Midwest Homes, Curtis Befort Custom Homes and Prime Homes, giving prospective homeowners no shortage of designs to choose from, whether they opt for a speculative home or prefer to work with a builder on a custom-built residence. Home prices vary from $450,000 to over $1 million.

Prospective homeowners ready to explore Cottonwood Canyon are encouraged to view a furnished model from Starr Homes, now available for sale. Perched on an enviable cul-de-sac location that overlooks the water, the Starr Homes-built home features an open layout that’s further enhanced by light, spa-like coloring accented by rich, warm woodwork.

A main-level master suite stands ready as a relaxation-inducing haven complete with an oversized bathtub and a dream closet. A second main-level bedroom can easily be transformed into an office. Follow a dramatic, curved staircase to the home’s lower level, a light-filled space that includes a wine cellar and bar, perfect for entertaining.
