How does a low-maintenance, high-quality, turnkey home in an active community, where privacy is paramount, yet neighbors become friends, sound? If you’re an empty-nester looking forward to a worry-free and active future, The Villas at Canterwood Farms may be the right fit.

“My parents, Tom and Doreen Riebe, started 20th Century Construction, a family-owned-and-operated company, in 1981 to offer their clients just what they were looking for, the highest-quality construction with a focus on the needs of customers and their families,” says Allison Riebe Moore, vice president of sales and marketing. “Today, many of those clients want one-level living and are ready for a new lifestyle.”

Building in Lake County communities for more than 40 years, 20th Century Construction has also built a reputation for quality craftsmanship. When they started hearing from past clients ready for a change, they got to work to fill that void with The Villas at Canterwood Farms—a low-maintenance, upscale community in Concord Township.


“Empty-nesters are a fast-growing segment of the population and are expressing a desire for functional space and less maintenance with the same high-quality construction and finishes they have in their current homes,” Allison says. “So, we set out to make that happen.”

In determining the best way to serve these clients needs for Canterwood Farms, 20th Century Construction came across Epcon Communities, which has been building homes geared toward empty-nesters since 1986.

“This partnership gives us access to Epcon floor plans that have been so successful for many years,” Allison says. “They include six different layouts from 1,400 to 3,000-plus square feet. These are turnkey homes with high-end appliances, finishes, landscaping and a one-of-a-kind courtyard. No more lawns to mow or snow to shovel. This is convenient, functional living for active, ‘lock and leave’ lifestyle homeowners.”

Canterwood Farms boasts a serene, rural setting that gives the feeling of being tucked away far from the fray, yet it’s located less than a mile from amenities like restaurants, shopping and highways. A conservation zoning property, Canterwood Farms has more than 30% of the land as open space and homesites back up to green space.

“Canterwood Farm will include a clubhouse with fitness center, outdoor pool and a common courtyard for get-togethers or morning coffee with friends,” Allison says. “This is a true hidden gem in this area and a hard-to-come-by style of living. We’re proud to offer it to our community.”

Allison invites you to stop by or call Lisa for an appointment to tour the Canterwood Farms model and see which style of home would work for your needs. Turnkey Homes start in the upper $400’s and include many options to customise. Basement options are also available, and homeowners work with a designated designer to help pick out paint colors, finishes and exterior styling throughout the building process.

“Home buyers have the ability to build their custom forever home and enjoy the next phase of their lives with worry-free living that will allow them to age in place”

Canterwood Farms is located at 7479 Canterwood Trail, in Concord Township, Ohio 44060. For more information or to schedule a model home and homesite tour, call Lisa at 440-639-4663.
