Welcome to Hickory Ridge Estates in Branson, Missouri! Home to “the finest homes being built in the Ozarks”.
Spring is officially here! Sunny, blue skies and 70+ degree days! What a beautiful Season Spring is! Spring is about new beginnings, new hope, clean fresh air. New green leaves are abundant everywhere. Birds and small animals are coming out to play. It is beautiful to see our Missouri Bright Red Cardinals, flying carelessly everywhere. We have learned to appreciate each season of the year.
What an amazing year 2010 is going to be! We just completed relandscaping the entry gate area, and have added new mulch, trimmed the plants, and are planting fresh flowers! How beautiful it is to drive into this neighborhood, with all the care and personal attention to detail. Soon we will be resurfacing our roads, so that they will look fresh and new, like when we first put them in. Hickory Ridge has a continual maintenance program that is second to none in Branson. We want to always look fresh, colorful, manicured, and clean! It is our way of saying: Welcome Home!
God is giving us so many blessings. First: 1 new grandson is here (Evan Keene 8lb 8oz), and Second: 1 more is on the way (Johnny Holden Greenstone) for the Owners of Hickory. Third: My daughter and son in law moved here recently from California! Fourth: We have a great church home in Branson that is fantastic. Fifth: Silver Dollar City just opened, and that is always great fun! These are just a few of our Thankful thoughts for 2010. God is so good to us! HE is good all the time, because that is who HE is! We are thankful for our new neighbors, who make our community and even better place to live. We cherish great friends, and christian neighbors, up and down Newbury Road. Are you the missing piece in our puzzle? We would love to speak with you about living at Hickory Ridge. Call us at 417-294-2999 so we can open the entry gate for you to drive thru. Yes we have a security gate that closes at dark. Come by and visit, and we will give you a free coffee at Starbucks.
We are thankful for what is happening at Hickory Ridge. God is continuing to bless us with beautiful homes, and new friendly neighbors. We have had many people visiting the development the last few weeks, and they are searching for that perfect lot, with a view facing just a certain way. Lots 5,6 & 7 have just been sold recently. We are excited to have a Dentist, and a Doctor in the neighborhood. We are happy to let you visit as many times as you want, and you will never feel pressure from us to buy in a hurry! In the last few months, we have decided to sell the lots ourselves rather than thru a real estate broker. This has allowed us to meet each of the prospective buyers personally, and guarantees our NO PRESSURE sales approach. We want happy people, who are glad they live here, like us.
When we (the owners) bought this property, we were looking for a place where nice people would want to build. Where they could be proud of their neighborhood, and talk with their neighbors. Hickory Ridge is that place! It is a 430 acre pristine hilltop, surrounded by ancient forest. We built our homes on Lots 37 and 20. Yes we live here, so we are intimately involved in making sure this community will turn out to be one of the finest in the Ozarks. Feel free to contact us when you drive thru the neighborhood, so we can answer all of your questions. Many new homes are being designed and built. The style of these homes vary, and are unique inside and out. There are large homes here, but we don’t require that. We simply look for quality design, and attractive architecture, starting at a minimum of 2000 square feet. We have attached a link in our website that has the CC&R’s for your review.
We are excited about our “Cottage Floorplans” with 2089 to 3352 square feet, starting from $322k to $375.6k (which includes home, lot, well, and septic). Please look in the section marked “Spectacular New Homes from $ 322,000″, I think you will be overjoyed with how fantastic these homes could be. You can now live in a Million Dollar Neighborhood for 1/3 of the price.
We also have references for several quality builders, who would be happy to meet with you, and discuss your ideas. You may also bring your own architectural plans, and begin to enjoy the peaceful and relaxing lifestyle at Hickory Ridge. Welcoming + Friendly + Safe = Home: We think HOME describes the feeling we are trying to convey to all who visit. Just down the tree lined entrance, sits a Farmhouse-Colorado Lodge home. The Rocking Chairs sit on the wrap-around porch just waiting for friends to come by and rock away the hours, to enjoy the view of the Ozark Hills, with a tall glass of ice-cold lemonade. This ‘piece of heaven’ is really taking shape as a place to build your dream home. 417 Magazine has already showcased the Farmhouse-Lodge home in their magazine. Click Here to view .
Around the bend, a 4000 square foot Craftsmen style home brings back warm memories of Grandma’s house. The friendly front porch, is ideal for waving at neighbors passing by. As the road continues to meander past rolling hills, you’ll be delighted to see multiple Old World European homes. Their Story-book architecture is classic and charming, among the centuries-old Oak and Black Walnut trees.
We have a great contact with Architect Ron Hill, who has designs that can fit almost any budget. We have several completed Ron Hill homes from 2000 to 2500 square foot range. These two homes are now finished and look amazing. There is still room for you and your family. We believe Hickory can be home to almost everyone in every price range.
We are proud of our Neighbors Pat and Tina Brown on Lot 15. Their picturesque home was voted the “Home of the Year for 2009″ by 417 Home Magazine. I think you will agree this is a well deserved award. This home is sitting on a hilltop overlooking miles of amazing view! They definitely picked the right lot! Click Here to view Pat and Tinas home. Click the highlighted video attached, to see the Browns Home in the “Home Builder Association Video for 2008″ —> ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yMqSrCRTtQ&feature=related).
King Built Properties, who built Pat and Tina’s home, are offering “For Sale” a home on Lot 24, that was showcased in the 417 Open House Tour. This home is spectacular in design and craftsmanship. It was staged by an interior design company, and is now available for sale. You can see pictures of this home in our “PHOTO” section under King Built Properties. If you are interested in an early viewing, you can call Brad King at 417-849-9817.
If you are interested in speaking with us about your new home, just call Gary or Jon at 417-294-2999.
All we are missing is You! Come by and see us anytime, we’ll put a pot of coffee on the stove for you.
