Falcon Ridge and Falcon Ridge Estates
The first community of the Falcon Properties, Falcon Ridge, features an amenity package of a clubhouse, two pools, three tennis courts, a sand volleyball court and an 18-hole public golf course.

The secluded, half-acre to two-acre lots at Falcon Ridge Estates are surrounded by the golf course and scenic water features. Beautiful landscaping, statuaries, a private putting green and a drive-thru mail house all add to the area’s exclusive ambience. Restrictions and covenants are in place to ensure the finest-quality residences. Forty-two lots on heavily treed land showcase homes from $700,000 to more than $2 million. Eleven of these prime lots, including nine on the golf course, are still available, starting at $143,500. Located off K-10 Highway and Woodland Road. Call 913/780-9000 for more information.
