Coming home should always be a happy event, so why not live where you can enjoy life the most? If you could combine great dining, entertainment, nature and high-end shopping with a luxury residence built to your specifications, wouldn't you? Well, you can at the Prairiefire Villas at Lionsgate, an 18-unit development at Prairiefire. Lambie Custom Homes Inc. is the exclusive developer of the neighborhood. Their reputation for quality and individuality is the perfect fit for this boutique community.
Lambie Custom has been building custom homes for 38 years under the leadership of founder Jim Lambie. Lambie Custom Homes are primarily in southern Johnson County, but they can and have built throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area. With prices ranging from the mid-$300s to $4 million-plus, Lambie Custom Homes are truly accessible to clients in any price range or stage of life.
Prairiefire is a world-class destination development on the pristine Nicklaus Golf Course at Lions Gate and offers the first cooperative venture of its kind in the country. Located on 135th Street between Nall and Lamar Avenues, Prairiefire includes high-end retail shops, fine dining, luxury apartments and interpretive hiking and bicycle trails. A 41,000 square-foot hall houses exhibits from The American Museum of Natural History. The Prairiefire Villas at Lionsgate are the residential extension of this cooperative concept.
Prairiefire Villas at Lionsgate are a luxurious collection of 18 maintenance-provided villa homes ranging in price from the $800,000 to $1 million-plus. The excitement for this development has been intense. Eight homes have already been completed, with each home custom built with a unique design and décor inside. No two homes are alike, and style influences range from contemporary to French country to shabby chic.
The focus of the villas at Prairiefire is luxury. High-end finishes complete spacious kitchens built for entertaining. Outdoor living is a focus as well, with fire pits and outdoor bar areas. For those looking for the ultimate in ease, the villas can even include an elevator to upper floors, depending on the buyers' preferences.
While the quality and customization of each villa is a standard for any home built by Lambie Custom, the location of the villas is unique. Imagine having the option of grabbing your morning coffee at Decadent, a coffee and dessert bar and enjoying it as you stroll through the natural neighborhood of the Prairiefire Wetlands. Or enjoy dinner at your kitchen away from home at Coco Bolos or Grimaldi's Coal Brick Oven
Pizzeria. Entertain the kids with a few frames of bowling at Pinstripes. When you're done, stroll back home to your custom four-bedroom, three-bathroom 1.5 story to enjoy a nightcap in your outdoor living room or cozy great room.
At the Prairiefire Villas, privacy is also ensured as your home will back up to a quiet view of the 18-hole Nicklaus Golf Course. The neighborhood's proximity to the Nicklaus Golf Club at Lions Gate is a perk as well. The 21,000 square-foot clubhouse featuring full men's and ladies' locker rooms, a pro shop and fine dining of its own accompanies the 18-hole championship course. Blending into the natural environment, the golf course is a picturesque setting for the Prairiefire Villas to overlook. Wake up to a sunrise over the course and wind down each day with dinner on the patio as you enjoy a gorgeous sunset.
This location is precisely what drew Jim Lambie to the project. Being able to give his clients a uniquely convenient way to capitalize on their free time is helped not only by their proximity to entertainment, shopping and dining but also by being in a maintenance-free community. Don't worry about snow removal or yard work; just enjoy your free time with your family.
"People want to spend time going out to dinner, spending time with their families or traveling, not worrying about yard work. These communities give them that option of worry-free living," says Lambie.
This simplicity is the real advantage. The Prairiefire Villas at Lionsgate truly allow residents to live where they play and play where they live. Working with the builders at Lambie Custom means that each home will be a reflection of its owner and fit their tastes like a fine leather glove. Seldom do they build any one of their designs without making alterations to suit the client's needs. At Lambie Custom, they enjoy the process of working directly with a client and architect to design and build a completely original house. Working with architects allows Lambie Custom to continue innovating and designing homes that are on the cutting edge of energy efficiency and user friendliness for people from all stages of life.
If you're looking for the easy life of relaxation, then the Prairiefire Villas at Lionsgate may be the perfect fit. Don't wait, though. This is the last opportunity to custom build a villa on a golf course in southern Johnson County. Reserve your lot now!
