Resort lifestyle changes residents’ lives

“We contemplated a move to a warmer climate,” said one of Loch Lloyd’s newest residents, “but at the end of the day, we didn’t want to leave family and friends. What we were really looking for was a community that felt like a resort – one that allowed us to live a healthy, carefree yet active lifestyle. Loch Lloyd was the logical choice. We couldn’t be happier with our decision – it’s like being on vacation 365 days a year.”

“When our youngest left for college, we realized our days of living for our children were over. Now it was our time to live for us,” said another resident who just built a new home in the newest area of Loch Lloyd. “We weren’t just looking to build a nice home – we wanted to live in a community that added dimension to our lives. We were looking for a strong sense of community and a vibrant social fabric. Loch Lloyd provided that and so much more. It’s the best decision we’ve ever made.”

From the moment residents drive through the gates at Loch Lloyd, their blood pressure drops as they leave the hectic world behind and enter a vibrant, resort-like neighborhood where they immerse themselves in the active, healthy lifestyle that is Loch Lloyd.

The heart and soul of Loch Lloyd is The Country Club at Loch Lloyd, where the community comes together to enjoy all the venues that encourage healthy lifestyles, such as the fully equipped fitness center, tennis courts and swimming pools, and the Tom Watson Signature Design golf course. The resort lifestyle and strong sense of community is never more present than in the clubhouse that offers formal and informal dining venues, bars, decks and patios with exceptional food provided by the award-winning culinary staff.

Loch Lloyd residents enjoy a multitude of activities that inspire a strong sense of community, such as the popular Home & Garden Club, summer programs for children and a vibrant social fabric with events like wine tastings, deck crawls and festive celebrations of the major holidays throughout the year. It is that total Loch Lloyd experience that draws new residents and keeps existing residents for a lifetime.

All of it is provided thanks to the vision of developer FiveStar Lifestyles, owned by Neal Patterson and Cliff Illig, the co-founders of Cerner Corporation. The luxury estate homes and intelligently designed villas blend seamlessly into the resort lifestyle and vibrant social fabric that revolves around the award-winning clubhouse.

Loch Lloyd offers a complete resort lifestyle for families of all ages and interests. Those with young children appreciate the security the gated community offers, as well as the summer activities for children including junior golf, tennis and the Loch Lloyd Lightening swim team.

The Country Club at Loch Lloyd offers far more than golf; in fact, 50 percent of the residents don’t play golf. Instead, they immerse themselves in all the other resort-like activities including all of the social events at the clubhouse where people gather and become life-long friends.

The Fitness Center not only fosters a healthy lifestyle through a wide variety of activities, but a bond between the neighbors who meet there. Those offerings include a large group fitness room with the latest equipment, locker rooms, dry saunas, a massage suite, personal trainers, group fitness classes, and a holistic nutrition and health coach.

Those who want to experience all that Loch Lloyd has to offer will be delighted to know the community recently released 29 spectacular lots overlooking the sixth and seventh golf holes that include ranch, daylight and walkout lots designed for the buyer looking to right-size through intelligent design. Four builders have just broken ground on model homes that will be featured in the upcoming Fall Parade of Homes – Koehler Building Company, Don Julian Builders, Cecil & Ray Custom Homes and Willis Custom Homes.

Whether you want to right-size through intelligent design or build the custom home of your dreams, the perfect home at Loch Lloyd awaits. Loch Lloyd offers a variety of home sites, from the comfort of a cozy, wooded, low-maintenance villa lot, to a sprawling golf course estate lot, to a spectacular lakefront lot with sweeping views of the 110-acre private lake.

Loch Lloyd has assembled what Chuck Campbell, vice president of real estate development, believes is the finest, most experienced builder team in Kansas City that also includes Evan-Talan Homes, Tom French Construction, C & M Builders, Forner-LaVoy Homes, RM Standard, Rodrock Custom Homes and Starr Homes.

He added the best way to see what the Loch Lloyd lifestyle is all about is to visit the community, just a five-minute drive from Leawood, and explore all that it offers. Come see for yourself why so many are choosing to move to Loch Lloyd – our model homes are open noon to 4 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday.

“Leave the hectic world behind and embrace the healthy, active, yet peaceful resort lifestyle at Loch Lloyd,” he said. “Come out this weekend to tour our model homes – come see for yourself why Loch Lloyd is so special.”
