Country living close to the city

Situated on a picturesque rolling landscape, skirted by prairie and verdant, open green space on the western edge of Olathe, The Greens at Prairie Highlands offers tranquil country living close to the city.

A true golf course community, The Greens at Prairie Highlands is surrounded by the award-winning Prairie Highlands Golf Course, and features picturesque golf and green flat, daylight and walkout lots.

Prospective buyers will find two premier builders here: SAB Homes and Tim Hoelting Home Builders. Between the two, there are six new homes available with several more to come.

Among them are three stunning SAB Homes floor plans — The Westhampton, The Augusta and The Stratoga — each offering something for new homebuyer, growing family and empty-nester needs, lifestyles and desires.

The Westhampton, priced at $324,950, is a beautiful, award-winning, reverse 1 1/2-story, four-bedroom, three-bathroom, three-car garage plan offering main-floor living, with an additional third and fourth bedroom, third bathroom and family room on the lower level.

The Augusta, priced at $338,950, is a two-story, Craftsman-style home with four spacious bedrooms upstairs, 3 1/2 bathrooms and a wealth of beautiful interior features including oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry and full extension cabinet drawer glides in the large kitchen.

“This home is very spacious and the open kitchen/living room combo is great for entertaining or having large family gatherings,” said Joanne Attebery, the marketing agent for The Greens at Prairie Highlands. “It is one of two Augusta plans offered within the community.”

The Stratoga, starting at $369,950, is a gorgeous 1 1/2-story, four-bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom home, the model home for the community, and a Pick of the Parade Grand Award winner in the 2015 Fall Parade of Homes.

“The secondary bedrooms here have wonderful creative spaces that will wow the homeowner,” Attebery said.

All SAB Homes are highlighted by granite counter tops, wood flooring, tile flooring in all wet areas, bull nose corners and a great deal more.

The Sierra by Tim Hoelting Homes is offered at $319,950. This spectacular two-story, five-bedroom, four-bathroom home will not disappoint.

Features here include a fifth bedroom, or flex room, on the main floor, with the other four bedrooms upstairs, vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom and a mudroom with a book bench with under cabinet storage.

This spacious main-floor plan is currently under construction and will be completed by the end of February. Buyers interested while the home is under construction will have an opportunity to make some additional feature selections to add their own personal touch.

Adding to the country living ambiance of The Greens at Prairie Highlands is that fact that some of the lots back up to open green space, the golf course gently meandering behind others.

Community amenities include a pool, cabana and future walking trail. Residents are also just minutes away from many lifestyle amenities including restaurants, recreational areas, entertainment venues, major retailers, grocery stores and the like. They are also near Clearwater Creek Elementary, Oregon Trail Middle and Olathe North High School, with a new, state-of-the-art high school coming in 2017.
