Home is a tricky concept to describe.Home is a feeling that tells the story of ourselves and our lives. It resembles who we are and what we cherish in life. A house may be the bones of a home, but it can’t capture the soul. That’s what makes a home. There truly is no place like home because home is what we make it to be.Creating a home is a personal endeavor. It is incredible to have the adventure of building your home, but it is less about the building and more about the emotional connection and sense of comfort we have with it. Your new house is just four walls and a roof, but your new home is made up of everything else inside. Your home is that personal feeling of connection. When you begin creating your all-important new home in Colby Estates Residential Community, there is nothing more important than knowing what makes a house a home, and not just any home, your home.A home is a place of refuge. A person’s most personal belongings are kept in a home, where a person feels safe and accepted. A home tells a story and expresses a person or family’s interests. Creating a home requires an emotional connection and sense of belongs, not material things.A house can be a home, but a home can’t be a house. You can live in a house, but it has to feel like a home. We think you can find a “home” in your well-crafted newly built home in Colby Estates Residential Community. We strive to walk with you through the physical journey and respect the emotional and personal journey. We will strive to make your home feel comfortable, where you will always desire to return.We know there are costly granite countertops, custom bookshelves, but your living space must nourish your souls, buffer you from stress, and provide a financial investment you are confident in.We realize home is the sound of children playing, the smell of cooking, and the movement of sunlight through the space. It’s the happiness, contentment, and calm we feel because of the space we are in our home!Welcome to Colby Estates Residential Community…the story of home!

About the PropertyGreat location, just south of the Colby Walking Trail and the Colby Community College. This tract is in the main development area for growth in Colby, KS. The location south, with easy access to I-70, hospital, retirement living complex and assisted living, commercial, and the most recent new housing development, makes this prime land for development. Lots 1-4 in Block 2 are right next to the latest city park and swimming pool. These would be high-end lots for building sites. It currently is zoned residential and would give a developer a great opportunity to build new single-family homes, apartments,townhomes, etc. However, with it being so close to commercial, with obtaining a zoning variance to commercial, a developer would have
the opportunity to sell individual tracts for commercial lease or sale. There are not many residential or commercial lots available in Colby, KS. The seller of this tract of land purchased, developed, and sold 17 new single-family homes in the past four years. There is still such a strong desire for newly constructed, affordable homes.

stucco, stone, or a combination of both. Most times, the roof reaches down to the window area and serves as a shade from the element. The roofs are usually made of clay tile.
