Exclusive greenspace estate homesites signal final opportunities for luxury living

For prospective homeowners intrigued by the park-like setting and luxurious homes of Coffee Creek Crossing, the community’s newest and final phase will prove especially appealing. The Reserve at Coffee Creek, an exclusive selection of just six estate homesites that all back to Johnson County Park land greenspace, will open later this spring. Three of the six homesites have already been reserved for custom homes, a testament to the allure and rarity of these picturesque locations.

Tucked away on a pair of quiet, private cul-de-sacs, the Reserve at Coffee Creek will offer homes priced from the upper $600,000s and homesites priced from $175,000. The Reserve offers discerning homebuyers a unique opportunity to build their family’s dream home surrounded by nature. The unique setting is afforded by all six of the homesites backing to county parkland that wraps around nearby Coffee Creek. Views from the rear patios and decks of these fortunate few homeowners will be of large mature hardwood trees, the rolling hillsides adjacent to the creek and the numerous deer, hawks, song birds and other wildlife feeding on the wetlands adjacent to the creek; a true nature lover’s paradise. The secluded enclave continues Coffee Creek Crossing’s reputation that current residents describe as like living in “a neighborhood within a park,” preserving ample greenspace that further extends the community’s idyllic, retreat-like ambiance.

“What sets this luxury development apart from other communities is its peaceful, park-like setting,” said Lily Mantych, who markets Coffee Creek Crossing for Keller Williams Realty Partners. “We have 50 acres of open forested green space as the central heart of the community, so there is plenty of room for kids to run and explore in their own community’s backyard. We are also known for our remarkable attention to detail, including streets, extensive landscaping, amenities, layout and strict architectural standards assuring high quality and distinctive homes that are unparalleled in this price range.”

Coffee Creek Crossing is ideally located in the heart of Overland Park. It is 1.2 miles west of the 167th Street exit off U.S. 69, which is just minutes from several grocery stores, movie theaters and a wide variety of newly opened shopping venues located on 135th and 151st streets.

In addition to the new homesites of the Reserve at Coffee Creek, Coffee Creek Crossing offers several furnished models, as well as a number of speculative homes that are also underway. Homes include two-story, 1½-story and reverse floorplans in various stages of completion, including several homes that are move-in ready. The majority of the homes have four bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, and all homes feature three-car garages and some even have hard-to-find four-car garages. The developers require that each home have four-sided architecture with all of the homes’ exteriors finished in high-quality stucco, brick or stone.

Coffee Creek Crossing’s current furnished models are built by C&M Builders, Koehler Building Company, Koenig Building, Roeser Homes and Woodbridge Custom Homes. Additional members of Coffee Creek Crossing’s building team include Starr Homes, Ryan Homes, Glen Mock Homes and Rodrock Homes. Coffee Creek Crossing is also an open community, meaning homeowners have the flexibility to bring in their own builder.

Coffee Creek Crossing’s lifestyle focus extends to the neighborhood amenity complex, which includes a zero-entry heated pool and expansive sunbathing decks; giant waterslide; tot lot with jungle gym, play fort and swings, newly added sports court and a private community soccer park.

The more than 180 school-age children living at Coffee Creek Crossing attend Blue Valley’s newest and highest tech schools: Timber Creek Elementary, Aubrey Bend Middle School and Southwest High School.

What does Coffee Creek Crossing have in common with such highly acclaimed, luxury community developments such as Hallbrook Farms, LionsGate, White Horse, the Iron Horse communities and Brookwood? They all have been created by the same veteran residential developers, Saul Ellis and Mark Simpson, who have developed over their careers much sought-after, award-winning, acclaimed communities that are celebrated for their attention to detail and unparalleled retention of home values.

“These men are well-known and have been respected in the Kansas City building community for over 40 years,” Mantych said. “Coffee Creek Crossing only adds to their legacy of providing Kansas City families with well-appointed neighborhoods that overlook no detail in developing quality upscale communities.”
