About the Community

Attached villas are preferred for their carefree convenience and maintenance provisions which relieve owners of having to worry about exterior chores such as painting and yard work. However, seldom are these homestyles known for their spaciousness, but one look at Greater Missouri Builders' outstanding villa portfolio at all-new Colonial Green in Cottleville and those perceptions are sure to change.

"When customers walk through the front door of our displays and see all of the style we've built into our villas, they have been very impressed to say the least," said Anne Hayes who along with Bobbie Ruebsam make the sales team at this brand-new, beautifully-conceived St. Charles County address. "If the early reviews we've received are any indication, Colonial Green promises to be a resounding success. We have a great location, excellent floorplan variety, and unsurpassed value. As one of the pioneering builders in the St. Louis area to offer attached homes, buyers are immediately recognizing our quality and design and can see that we do things better."

Offering a highly-desirable City of Cottleville setting alongside Highway N, midway between Mid Rivers Mall Drive and Highway K, Colonial Green features a total of 76 villa selections, 38 of which form a ring around the tree-lined perimeter and 32 occupying a carefully symmetrical island within the interior of this triple cul-de-sac development. Additionally, there are two free-standing models. "What is most striking is the vast amount of commonground we've incorporated into the community's masterplan to add charm and distinction to the entire enclave. Furthermore, two giant stretches of the property have been dedicated as parks and will always be here for the enjoyment of residents," said Ruebsam. "Plus, Colonial Green is completely self-contained and does not provide passage for thru traffic. And with only one-way in and one-way out, our owners will have an unmatched level of privacy. Even better still, since we're just getting underway, early buyers have the added advantage of being able to pick from the best site selections."

Starting from mid $200's, Greater Missouri Builders is presenting a commanding collection of "step-saving" ranch and 1 1/2-story villas ranging in size from 1717 to 3646 square feet. The main level living spaces on most models boast expansive great rooms, luxury master suites with connecting bath and large walk-in closet, fully-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar or center island, ample secondary bedrooms, and convenient main-floor laundry. For buyers seeking more space, Greater Missouri Builders offers very attractive options for finishing the lower level with a recreation room, full bath, and guest bedroom with walk-in closet.

A direct-access oversized two-car garage in a front or rear entry arrangement comes standard on all villas, as does a Whirlpool smooth-top electric oven, space saver microwave, white Colonist doors, hardwood foyer flooring, Moen plumbing fixtures, levered door handles, ceiling lights in all bedrooms, three cable and three phone outlets, electric garage door opener, a covered sun deck, landscaping package, an in-ground sprinkler system, and much more. Three professionally decorated displays are open 11-5 daily for touring.

Another feature Colonial Green buyers benefit from is not having to deal with pesky exterior chores. "With our maintenance agreement grass cutting, snow removal, landscape upkeep, exterior painting, community lighting, and water for the sprinkler system is included," said Hayes. "Yes, living here has its privileges."

About the Builder

“I got tired of cutting grass,” said Bruce Campbell, the late founder and visionary of Greater Missouri Builders, when recalling why he and his wife in 1968 made the decision to leave their single family home behind and purchase a villa where exterior chores such as grass cutting were taken care of for residents of the community.

Campbell had already been in the building business for 20 years by 1968, but was focused on offering single-family homes and developing commercial projects.  But moving into a villa, a product line that was brand-new in the St. Louis
marketplace, led Campbell to believe this idea could be so popular that he shifted his company’s attention to building villas, condominiums, and townhomes.

Greater Missouri Builders fast became an industry leader in carefree living, a position they still hold.  In addition, the company pioneered many of the unique home design concepts that are in such high-demand today.  During the past four decades, the firm has delivered thousands of homes to those seeking the “maintenance-provided” lifestyle.

Greater Missouri Builders is currently marketing 10 carefree living communities starting from the $150’s to $400’s in St. Charles, St. Peters, Lake Saint Louis, Wildwood, Chesterfield, and Wright City, as well as, Greendale Manor featuring con-
dominiums from the $150’s exclusively for adults
55+ conveniently located one block south of Interstate 70 along Highway 94.

The company is the 12th largest homebuilder in the metropolitan area. For more information visit www.greatermissouribuilders.com.
