Historic Shawnee home and neighborhood featured on Bargain Mansions
Nestled in the greens of a stunning historic property lies a private enclave of homesites offering rolling hills, trees, water features, and a rich history.
Kenneth Estates, consisting of The Cottages, Manors and Residences neighborhoods, is situated on what was once the property of Kenneth Smith, who crafted tailor-made golf clubs for world famous clients. The 1860s stone house that the Smith family called home remains today and has undergone an impressive renovation. Tamara Day reimagined the first floor and filmed the process for her hit television show “Bargain Mansions,” airing in September. The home is currently for sale for $1.5 million.
“The development sits on 60 acres of the homestead’s original 177 acres and will consist of 92 homes. The views are beautiful,” said Kerwin Holloway, community agent with ReeceNichols. “Interest has been strong with several homes and homesites going under contract recently. With less than 20 homesites remaining, the community is nearing completion. Call to set up a tour soon to secure your perfect home.”
The award-winning and respected team of community builders includes Crown Builders, RL Hoelting Builders, J.S. Robinson Fine Homes, and Olympus Custom Homes. The development is also open to outside builders with approval.
The Cottages features 28 maintenance-provided villas starting in the low $600,000s. Only two homesites remain in this popular community which offers lawn care and snow removal. Two spec homes are in various stages of construction by RL Hoelting, including one that features a three-car garage and one by Crown Builders that will be a walkout.
The Manors consists of 45 single family homes starting in the mid $600,000s, with several walkout sites remaining. Olympus Custom Homes has two 1.5 story Rachel plans that are both move-in ready for those who want or need to move soon, featuring an entry that boasts a dramatic two-story curved staircase. Both currently have great reducing financing options provided by the builder. Olympus is also offering an Alexa Hailey two story plan with five bedrooms, ready for a fall move-in date. Each of the acclaimed builders also has additional homes in various stages of construction.
The Residences offers custom homes starting in the $800,000s. This private neighborhood is centrally located in the heart of Kenneth Estates, bordered by water features. It boasts 19 estate homesites of various sizes, many backing to water and wooded views, including walkout lots.

Conveniently located inside the I-435 loop, this close-in development offers easy access to major highways. Each of the three neighborhoods within Kenneth Estates has one private entrance from 71st Street, creating little traffic. The neighborhoods will connect with winding walking trail paths for nature viewing. The community is near highly rated schools as well as city parks and amenities.
