5 Tips for Building Your Dream Home in Cottonwood Canyon


Have you ever wondered what it would be like to build your dream home?  Here in the serene setting of Cottonwood Canyon, that dream can easily become a reality!  Tucked away on The Golf Club of Kansas in Lenexa, Cottonwood Canyon offers 125 unique lots that are just waiting for customized homes to be built. 
Whether you’re considering building your ideal home in this beautiful golf course community to fully enjoy retirement, or your love for golf and an ideal setting is urging you to build now; you’ve come to the right place!  Cottonwood Canyon works with the areas’ finest builders and helps to oversee the entire process from start to finish.  
Because it can be overwhelming to decide on every detail in your custom home; Cottonwood Canyon provides a few home styles from which you can choose.   The Oakwood by Fisher Homes Inc, The Aspen by B.L. Reike Custom Homes, The Cypress by Lifestyle Builders and The Sienna II also provided by B.L. Reike Custom Homes, are all worth looking into as they feature quality materials with low maintenance in mind.  
B.L. Reike Custom Homes’ owner Bruce L Reike noted that, “The most striking element of Cottonwood Canyon for me, is the scenic beauty of the community.  The views are dramatic and diverse.  Regardless of where you are, you can see the lake and golf course.  There’s nothing else like it so close in to the city.”  
If you are considering beginning the process of building your dream home in Cottonwood Canyon, you’ll want to take a few minutes to review the following tips.  Building a home in a golf course community will be well worth it, and you’ll want to be fully prepared to do so!
1. Start an Idea Book- Even if it’s just a matter of clipping pictures from magazines of home features that inspire you; beginning to gather ideas of what you like will make the building process run smoothly when it comes to choosing the features and finishes you want in your Cottonwood Canyon home.  
2. Define Your Needs- Take time to sit down and create a list of your needs for your dream home.  Will you have family and friends coming to visit?  Make sure you have the appropriate number of bedrooms and square footage.  Is a balcony with a golf course view a must?  Create your list and remember; it’s your custom home so don’t be afraid to dream big!
3. Learn About New Building Materials and Trends- Of course the Cottonwood Canyon builder that you choose will be able to give you insight into the highest quality, eco friendly materials, but doing some research on your own can help you hone in on some of those special features you’ll want to incorporate into your home. 
4. Don’t Forget the Landscape- It can be easy to become so focused on building a home that you forget about the curb appeal.  If you have a certain aesthetic of landscaping you’ve found that appeals to you; consider how you’ll incorporate this into your Cottonwood Canyon home.  And remember, all homes in Cottonwood Canyon includes grounds maintenance!
5. Communicate with Your Cottonwood Canyon Builder- The team here at Cottonwood Canyon is here to make your dream become a reality.  Open communication about what you’re looking for in your home will ensure your expectations are met and even exceeded!
