Payne Family Homes - Blog

Payne Family Homes is excited to announce our premier new home community in Lake Saint Louis!  We’ve acquired 9 outstanding home settings in Sommers Landing, an established residential development situated at the intersection of Highway N and Sommers Road.

In Sommers Landing, Payne Family customers will choose from seven top-of-the line home designs, carefully selected from our innovative Lifestyle and Vision Series portfolio of homes and consistent with the neighborhood’s upscale ambiance.

Our onsite information center is currently open for sales Friday through Sunday, with appointments available during the rest of the week, and Stephanie Russo has been named our Community Sales Manager.  “Lake Saint Louis is considered on of the most prestigious locations in St. Charles County, so we’re anticipating a considerable amount of interest from move-up buyers wanting to build a new home in the Lake Saint Louis area,” Russo commented.

Construction of our display model, a “Franklin” two-story, is now under way.  “The Franklin is one of our top-selling designs, and we’ll be displaying this home at Sommers Landing for the first time anywhere,” Russo added.

Showcasing the architecturally distinctive, quality-crafted styling and customer-preferred features our customers have come to recognize us for, the Franklin is a side-staircase plan with more than 2,500 square feet of living space, an exceptionally open main-floor layout, and a large loft accessing the owner’s suite and three generous auxiliary bedrooms on the upper level.

All but two of our home sites in the community are walk-outs, and Russo urges shoppers to reserve their sites as soon as possible, since ownership opportunities are extremely limited.  Ranging up to 3186 square feet in size, the ranch, 1.5-story, and 2-story designs provide three or four bedrooms, and pricing starts from the $230,000s.

Further enhancing its appeal, Sommers Landing is located just west of I-64/40, offering resident commuters a direct route to the numerous corporations headquartered along the Highway 40 corridor, all parts of West County, and downtown St. Louis, as well as the countless new shopping, dining, and entertainment facilities of Lake Saint Louis.

Residents are served by the top-rated Wentzville School District, and freshman will attend the district’s brand-new Liberty High School, which will be welcoming its first entering class in the fall of 2013.

Interested homebuyers are invited to  inquire on the offerings at Sommers Landing by calling Stephanie at 314-724-6226. Available floorplans and more details can also be viewed here.

Ranked among the fastest-growing St. Louis homebuilders, Payne Family Homes offers unparalleled customer care and a quality-built home you’ll be proud to live in.  We build innovative lifestyle-oriented homes in a wide variety of styles, featuring unique single-family, condominium, villa, terrace, and cottage home designs.  Our new homes are offered in preferred neighborhoods throughout the St. Louis and St. Charles county areas, including St. Peters, Wentzville, O’Fallon, Lake Saint Louis, Eureka, St. Charles, and St. Louis, Missouri.  We cordially invite you to see the difference, feel the difference, and live the difference in a Payne Family Home.

Payne Family Homes seems to have found the key to success, gaining prominence in the regional St. Louis market in just a few short years.  Already recognized with numerous awards for construction excellence, Payne Family currently offers 10 residential communities in St. Charles, St. Peters, Cottleville, Wentzville, Fenton, and Eureka – and is about to make its initial entry into O’Fallon (MO).

 The company’s newest acquisition consists of 44 attached villa sites in Walden Pond, an established, multi-product development located off Elaine Drive, north of Interstate 70, in North O’Fallon.  The community portfolio will feature three villa designs that have been wildly popular with the full spectrum of homebuyers in The Pointe at Heritage Crossing, a Payne Family neighborhood in St. Peters, plus two new plans that have recently made their debut.

Grouped in pairs, the various models are offered in ranch, story-&-a-half, and two-story styles, with 1338 to 2424 square feet on the main levels.  All include a 2-car garage and full basement, which can be finished for additional living space.  Several attractive new elevations will also be unveiled at Walden Pond, showcasing assorted combinations of brick, stone, stucco, shake, and siding.

 According to Shawn Arterburn, vice president of operations, “It’s the pricing structure for these quality-built villa homes that is most likely to impress our customers.  The collection is based from the $130’s, which is an amazing price point for this product line.” 

 The Agenda

Walden Pond’s temporary onsite sales center opened to the public last weekend and Grand Opening is projected for spring.  Construction of Walden Pond’s “Earhart” display, a 1444-square-foot ranch with two bedrooms and two full baths, is expected to begin shortly.  Shoppers can also experience one of the models offered at Walden Pond, the “Keller“, which is now on display in The Pointe. 

Wonderfully livable and ideal for entertaining, the Earhart’s activity areas – living room, dining room, and kitchen – are completely open and extend the full depth of the home.  Flexibility, is another feature Payne will be showcasing at Walden Pond.  Two of the floorplans offered provide buyers with the ability to build up, or down, or both!  Payne’s “Earhart” display will be highlighting the optional 2nd floor plan offered in a loft or 3rd bed/3rd bath configuration–providing buyers with ample flexibility to have guest quarters, space for grandkids, holiday quarters for a child returning from college, crafting room, reading nook, 2nd office, and much more!

Although all of the walk-out and ingrade sites are available for purchase, prime site selection isn’t the only good reason to be among the early villa owners at Walden Pond.  Payne Family Homes is offering a valuable Preview Special – one year of free Homeowner Association dues (including provided exterior maintenance services) plus $2,500 toward closings – to pre-grand opening buyers.

 A Great Place to Live

Highly selective in its choice of geographic locations, Payne Family Homes carefully evaluates the anticipated “lifestyle considerations” of each community’s future residents – commuter access, quality schools, and nearby commercial, recreational, and entertainment amenities.  And the City of O’Fallon certainly meets – and exceeds – those standards.

Twice ranked among America’s “100 Best Places to Live” by Money magazine, O’Fallon offers a wealth of shopping, dining, and recreational opportunities, including 475 acres of city parks and Renaud Spirit Center, with its state-of-the-art fitness, sports, and aquatic facilities.  Public education is provided by the top-rated Fort Zumwalt School District.

Affordable pricing.  Award-winning quality.  Easy-maintenance living.  A fabulous location.  And outstanding customer service.  Walden Pond is destined to be a winner!
