"Whitewater delivers the traditional family home with luxury features," Love said. "We have a variety of great floor plans filled with upgrades and ready to move in. From upgraded flooring to granite counters, these distinctive, move-in ready homes offer our home buyers what many neighborhoods cannot and at incredible pricing."

Whitewater is one of five villages within Yellowstone and offers flexible home designs anchored by open living areas and island kitchens.

Pricing begins from the mid-$200,000s with incentives of $15,000 for newly constructed homes and up to $30,000 for move-in-ready floor plans.

The community is anchored by The Club at Yellowstone, a $3.5 million staffed recreation center. The Club's resort-style amenities include a family swimming pool and spa, toddler wading pool and adult private pool. Composed of three buildings, the clubhouse offers locker room access, meeting room with big-screen TV, full kitchen and children's activity center. Residents can reserve common areas for private parties. Shade canopies, basketball court, barbecue patio and an outdoor play structure are featured on the grounds. In addition, club staff regularly hosts seasonal activities throughout the year.

The 3,500-acre master-planned community features an extensive network of trails and parks. Upon completion, the community will include four elementary schools, two middle schools and a community high school.
