There’s no time to waste for anyone interested in owning a home in The Estates of Uthoff Valley, Payne Family Homes’ newest offering in Fenton.  The upscale development opened for sales on April 16 and by mid-May was already half-sold!

So, what’s attracting buyers to Uthoff Valley?  Quite simply, everything!  According to community sales manager Donna Cusumano, the landscape is “gorgeous” and showcases a considerable amount of mature trees and common ground.

The cul-de-sac neighborhood has no through-streets and is tucked above and between the city’s RiverChase Recreation Center and picturesque Westside Park.  Walking/biking trails lead from the community entrance to both popular recreational venues.

Uthoff Valley’s 14 generous walkout and in-grade homesites vary in size from approximately one-third to two-thirds of an acre, creating dramatic settings for Payne’s exciting Lifestyle II design collection.  “These sites are absolutely stunning!” Cusumano enthused.  “Every one is unique and has its own distinctive qualities.”

Due to the phenomenal sales pace, no display is planned for the community, which is being marketed from the builder’s display center at nearby Ashton Woods in Eureka.  But shoppers will soon be able to see the streetscape taking shape.  This month, construction of the first four customer-owned homes and an inventory model will begin at Uthoff Valley.

These initial homes will represent four of the six Lifestyle II designs offered, emphasizing the portfolio’s broad-based appeal.  “With so much variety, this neighborhood is going to have fabulous curb appeal,” Cusumano noted.

Starting from $319,900, the ranch, story-&-a-half, and 2-story plans provide three or four bedrooms and 2028 to 3388 square feet of living area.  Most include a 3-car tandem garage with the option of a 4-car version, and even owners with fewer vehicles appreciate the additional space, which can be used for any number of purposes, including motorcycle or boat storage or a workshop.  

Homes in the Lifestyle collection are distinguished by their stylish elevations, outstanding utilization of space, light-filled interiors, and well-planned, open kitchens.  The for-sale inventory will be a 3090-square-foot “Montego II” story-&-a-half with four bedroom and 2-1/2 baths, scheduled for delivery in early October.

“Uthoff Valley’s location is another huge attraction,” Cusumano added.  “Just minutes south of I-44 and less than a half-mile east of Bowles Avenue, everything you could possibly need is virtually at your doorstep.”  The community is served by the award-winning Rockwood School District, and Uthoff Valley Elementary is within walking distance.
