Stately home in Johnson County exemplifies affordable luxury

A compelling combination of resort-style amenities and luxurious, thoughtfully appointed homes has continued to make Cedar Creek a destination for homeowners seeking an escape to an idyllic community that’s so much more than simply a place to live.

Instead, Cedar Creek offers the complete package: amenities so numerous that homeowners feel like they’re on a daily vacation, as well as stately homes carefully crafted by some of Kansas City’s best builders. One such example is The Wakefield by Rodrock Homes, a four-bedroom, 3 ½-bathroom home that exudes the exceptional quality and value that’s made Rodrock Homes a sought-after builder.

Step through the home’s dramatic front entrance into an airy, open floor plan that seamlessly unites a kitchen, breakfast room and great room, perfect for effortless entertaining. Designed for versatility, the floor plan includes a formal dining room that could also serve as a music room or den and nearly 600 square feet of bonus lower level finish. After a hectic day, take solace in a luxurious master suite, an ideal spot to unwind in a sitting alcove or relax in the spacious bathroom. Located in The Crossings at Southglen, the home is across the street from Cedar Creek Elementary School, an incredible choice for a family interested in all that Cedar Creek has to offer at a price point under $400,000.

To keep pace with the continual demand, new neighborhoods are underway at Cedar Creek, building on the community’s reputation for offering architecturally distinct neighborhoods in a variety of price ranges.

Cedar Creek’s newest neighborhood, Hidden Lake Estates, is ready for custom-built homes. Work with any of Cedar Creek’s renowned builders, including Don Julian Builders, Starr Homes, Tabernacle Homes, C&M Homes, Roeser Homes, Larson Building Co., and James Engle Custom Homes, all of whom will feature new homes in Hidden Lake Estates. Their eye-catching, timeless floor plans will be enhanced by Hidden Lake Estates’ scenic wooded views. Lot prices range from $130,000-$235,000 and home prices range from the upper $600,000s to more than $1 million.

Another new neighborhood, The Ridge at Shadow Glen, offers 42 unique homesites, many of which offer golf course and other wooded scenic views. Prospective homeowners will be able to make homesite reservations late this spring as neighborhood construction is underway, with sales scheduled to begin this summer. Home prices will range from the lower $500,000s to more than $900,000.

Spring is just around the corner – and during the warmer months, there’s no better time to fully enjoy Cedar Creek’s extensive amenities. Whether you want to spend a few hours in one of two swimming pools, enjoy a sunset sail on the 65-acre Shadow Lake or gather friends and family for a round at the award-winning, 18-hole Shadow Glen Golf Club, Cedar Creek’s resort-style amenities package offers these and much more. Homeowners also have access to a free-form swimming pool, four lighted tennis courts, a second swimming pool in the Southglen neighborhood, jogging and walking trails, the Swim & Racquet Club featuring an indoor gymnasium that’s equipped for basketball, volleyball, aerobics and a performance stage.

Instead of planning your next vacation, why not schedule time to tour Cedar Creek? Leave the luggage in the closet and instead experience all that awaits just steps from your front door.
