Say hello to our new Ridgeline floor plan — a modern mountain craftsman design that blends bold architecture with refined, high-end living. This one is currently being built at Walnut Reserve - New Homes Community in Overland Park, and it’s shaping up to be something special.

The Ridgeline was designed to make a statement from the moment you walk up. With its strong low rooflines, natural textures, and a balanced mix of stone, wood, and modern elements, it brings that “mountain home” feel into a clean, livable Midwest setting.

Inside, the layout is all about function meeting luxury. You’ll find an open-concept main living area with soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and a seamless connection between the kitchen, dining, and great room. The kitchen is built for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring top-tier appliances, custom cabinetry, oversized island, butler pantry, and thoughtfully designed storage throughout.

The primary suite is designed as a true retreat — spacious, private, and finished with high-end materials, a spa-style bathroom, and a walk-in closet that actually works for real life.

And then there’s the garage — oversized, functional, and built with intention. Whether it’s for multiple vehicles, a workshop, or just extra storage, this isn’t an afterthought — it’s a key part of the design.

Every inch of the Ridgeline reflects our focus on quality, detail, and livability. From the materials we select to the way the home flows, this plan is built for homeowners who want something that stands out — not just in looks, but in how it lives day to day.

This one at Walnut Reserve is going to set the tone for what we’re bringing to the Johnson County market next.
