When building a home, buyers usually come prepared with a wish list a mile long. Families today want to be close to good schools and shopping, but with the ability to retreat to a home in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. They want to pick and choose interior and exterior features, and to personalize a home that suits their needs. Gerstad Builders make that possible at the Trails of Pheasant Ridge.

This charming, 32-home community close to Lake Geneva in Richmond, Illinois gives buyers all the control. Residents at The Trails of Pheasant Ridge choose from seven ranch and eight two-story home plans. If they only want two bedrooms, that’s what they’ll get. If they need four bedrooms, a finished basement and a three-car garage, Gerstad Builders will deliver.

The homes in this neighborhood are from 1,300 square feet to nearly 3,200, with everything in between. We happily adjust floor plans to suit every family. Remove a wall, install higher ceilings, or upgrade to custom millwork, granite countertops or hardwood or ceramic flooring. In other words, buyers can build a home that checks everything off those mile-long lists. Usually, fulfilling all the dreams on a wish list comes with a hefty price tag, but Gerstad is able to build quality homes at attainable prices. These homes start in the high $100,000s up to the high $200,000s, which means families can afford the home of their dreams. Gerstad provides a mortgage program, too, that qualifies new buyers for 0% down and half of mortgage insurance, putting a customized home within reach.

The Trails of Pheasant Hills is located within easy distance of Chicago, but with all the benefits and quiet of a country setting. Commuters to Chicago can hop on the expressway or via Metra, and retreat to calm and green Richmond every evening.
