Wilshire Farms encompasses
174 acres of beautiful rolling farmland, located at
156th and Antioch in Overland Park, Kansas. The Eastland
Family, John and Ora Lee, who were one of Johnson County’s
Pioneer families in the dairy farming business, owned
this property.
Wilshire Farms is being
developed by another Johnson County family, Ashner Development
Company. The Ashners have been active in building and
developing in Johnson County for 50 years. They have
established a tradition of quality affordable luxury
developments known for their neighborhood amenities
and curving streets.
Wilshire Farms will
have 368 home sites. In the heart of the community will
be a clubhouse and an outstanding central recreation
complex. The centerpiece will be the Homestead Clubhouse,
which will house an exercise facility, a small child’s
playroom, meeting rooms and kitchen. There will be a
Junior Olympic 5 lane competition pool that will accommodate
competitive swimming events. The pool will include a
water slide, seating niches in the pool, and a large
patio for special events. In addition, plans include
two tennis courts, a basketball court, a sand volleyball
court, and children’s playground.
A separate 8-acre park
with a pond, a play area and a meandering walking trail
will connect all the amenities together. Beautiful planted
entries and stone garden walls throughout the area will
compliment and define this planned community. A 5’
wide 1-mile long sidewalk/walking trail will circle
through the community, connecting the 8-acre park and
pond area and the recreation complex area.
Model homes are adjacent
to the Homestead Clubhouse. First phase homes will be
from the $300s to $700s and up. Architectural control
will be exercised on all homes being designed for Wilshire
Farms.
