I would like to personally extend an invitation to visit our new community, American Country Estates located near Shawnee in Pottawatomie County. Being new to Shawnee, we wanted to introduce ourselves and our new community. The new homes at American Country Estates are perfect for both first time and move up home buyers, featuring unique designs, great value, convenient location and superior quality. They are open and airy, single story homes, set on spacious 3/4 acre home sites. The homes range in size from 1,300 SF – 2,000SF, and are priced from $149,900-$214,900. American Country Estates is fortunate to be in the desirable North Rock Creek School District: North Rock Creek Elementary School, and North Rock Creek Middle School. Because we are in the North Rock Creek School District, you have the added value of selecting your high school of choice – Meeker, Shawnee, McLoud, Dale, Tecumseh, Bethel, or Prague. Since, American Country Estates is built in a designated rural area, our homes are eligible for No Money Down USDA Rural Development Loans.

We have three homes ready for sale, and 84 additional lots ready to customize for your home. We have placed lock boxes on the homes, and the homes are all ready to be shown! We will be starting release two soon, and plan to start three additional homes in March, or April. We would love to show you the homes, and we will work with you to make your dream a reality. We have established Community Restrictions and Protective Covenants to keep American Country Estates a beautiful community and sound investment for our home owners. Our website is up and running, and contains lots of information for your benefit. Among other information, we have brochures, photos, floor plans, standard and optional features, a community map, and a copy of the restrictions and protective covenants all online. You can visit our website at www.homesbydhr.com.

American Country Estates – Community Update!

Categories: American Country Estates, News | Posted: January 26, 2015

January has been really busy at American Country Estates. The subdivision is beginning to take shape. We have paved the first 500’ of Carefree Lane, and should be pouring driveways, front porches, and rear patios next week. The paved road has made a huge difference, it really feels like a “community” now. The exterior of the homes have been painted, the garage doors are on, as well as our upgraded front entry doors.

Inside the homes, things are really taking shape. Our granite countertops are installed, and look amazing in the kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms! We expected our kitchens to “excite”, and they didn’t disappoint. Our decision to fully finish the laundry rooms has been a nice touch. They look awesome with the same custom cabinets and granite! The homes are fully painted inside, and we have started to install the door hardware, and cabinet knobs. We used all quality hardware, which you will notice right away.

Moving on….We started the flooring in the Magnolia this week, and should finish all three homes next week. Light fixtures are being installed, along with plugs and switches. Our gas meters are set and we should have gas service next week. Everything is moving towards a completion date of February 2nd, and we are planning a Grand Opening Celebration towards the end of February.

We have had a lot of interest in our first release homes, with many buyers anxious to see the homes completed. If you have been considering a home at American Country Estates, now would be the time to schedule a visit and reserve your home. I don’t expect them to last through the Grand Opening.

Check out the upgrades at American Country Estates!

Categories: American Country Estates | Posted: November 28, 2014

At American Country Estates, there are way too many upgrades to mention, but we keep following the same basic principal “to do things the right way” for our homeowners. We are proud of our homes, and want you to be too! You can see the full list of “Luxury Standard Features” on our website!

Raised Panel Hardwood Cabinets with Custom Crown Moldings in our Cypress Model.

So, what do all these upgrades mean? It means our first release homes are priced for immediate sale! We have made many changes along the way, and we couldn’t think of a better way to introduce ourselves than by holding the base pricing on our Release One homes. Yes, there are still upgrade prices for elevations, fireplaces, and our wood tile flooring. But, the base prices will stay as they were introduced.

In the long run, however, these changes have had a big impact on our costs and we will be raising our base prices for Release Two. If you have been considering a Release One home, you need to act quickly to avoid paying a higher price in Release Two! A great home and a great value with built in equity from day one! It doesn’t get any better!

Would you like to buy a new home at American Country Estates with NO money down? Give Canda White, at First United Bank, a call to see if you qualify for the USDA Rural Loan program. You can reach Canda at (405) 273-1761. Our homes also qualify for FHA, and VA financing! Yes, you can own a new home at American Country Estates with little to no money down!

There is no better time to buy a home, and no better value than American Country Estates. We can’t wait to welcome our first homeowners to our growing community! I will keep you posted on our progress as we work this month to complete our Release One homes. We will be announcing the start of Release Two around the first of the year.  We would love your feedback on our new models, and be happy to give you a “guided” tour! You can visit our website for contact information, or feel free to give us a call (405) 888-5430.

What’s so special about American Country Estates?

Categories: American Country Estates | Posted: November 20, 2014

At American Country Estates, you get both a great home and a great value! There is no better value than the home prices in our first release. We continue to do things right, and have added many amenities along the way:

  1. Oklahoma is known for the clay in its soil, and our property was no exception. So, what’s wrong with a little clay? Well, clay can cause things that need to stay put, to shift and move. We conducted soils testing along with our site engineer, and determined that the best way to minimize any issues with our foundations was to install post tension concrete slabs. An expensive solution, but one we would do in our own home.
  2. All of our homes include a 10-year limited structural warranty from Residential Warranty Corporation (“RWC”).
  3. Following up on Shawnee’s decision to close their public shelters, we have decided to make garage storm shelters standard. We want our homeowners to be safe and secure.
  4. After receiving a verbal commitment from the county to pave County Line Road (E1070), we have decided to pave our subdivision streets and to provide concrete driveways to our homes.
  5. Absolutely loving the look of our granite, we have decided to put granite in not only the kitchens, but all of the bathrooms and the laundry rooms as well!

We can’t believe how much is happening at American Country Estates! Drywall is complete, and the brickwork is nearly finished!  Our custom cabinets and trim have been ordered, and flooring, tile, carpeting, paint and granite have all been selected.

All three of our new custom homes will be ready for move-in next month! These amazing homes range from 1,585 to 2,005 square feet, and sit on 3/4 acre home sites! If you haven’t seen the Magnolia floor plan in person, you really need to. (The dormers alone are worth the visit!)

We are a short commute to Tinker AFB, and Oklahoma City. We are only 6 miles from the Shawnee Mall, NEW Shawnee Marketplace, and I-40 off of Kickapoo. We are close to everything in Shawnee, and have a nice map on our website. We are located in the desirable North Rock Creek School District, and our homeowners can pick the school of their choice for high school. Our prices are thousands below what you will find anywhere else, not to mention all of our luxury standard features and large home sites. Please come visit us in Shawnee, and see how much more your money can buy.
