In an effort to introduce an entirely new housing type and lifestyle to northwest Indiana, Epcon Communities announces the availability of single-family ranch homes in a maintenance-free environment.

Buyers looking to move into a stair-free, maintenance-free home may want to visit the Courtyards at Pepper Creek. There they will find a new line of stand-alone ranch homes that offer the privacy of a single-family home but none of the responsibility for grass cutting, snow shoveling or landscaping.

Offering 1,648 to 1,992 square feet of living space, the two- and three-bedroom homes with 2½-car garage are base priced from $229,990 to $259,990.

Each ranch home has a private entrance, private outdoor courtyard and access to a private clubhouse with heated outdoor swimming pool. All homes feature such architectural details as volume ceilings, transom windows and fireplaces. For maximum privacy, the free-standing single-family homes do not share any common walls with their neighbors.

“The first phase is nearly 50 percent sold out. We cannot believe the response this community has received,” said Jamie Wilcox of Epcon Communities. “Our customers are telling us that our unique stand-alone ranch homes, combined with us taking full responsibility for cutting the grass, maintaining landscaping, and shoveling snow, makes our community the perfect place to call ‘home.’ No one else offers this combination of amenities in such a beautiful setting anywhere in northwest Indiana.”

Each Pepper Creek ranch home displays cultured stone exteriors, address plaques, appealing rooflines, and professionally installed landscaping. Because of clever architecture design, all of these homes have direct access to a private landscaped courtyard, creating a unique private outdoor entertainment area.
