Limited to five extraordinary homesites, The Sanctuary at Water's Edge offers the discriminating buyer Italian-inspired architecture, extraordinary views, spectacular open floor plans and stunning verandas built into a scenic hillside reminiscent of an old world village. Located at The National in historic Parkville, MO, The Sanctuary is an exclusive gated community on the grounds of The National, recently voted one of the Top 100 Golf Communities by Travel and Leisure Golf Magazine.

Developer Jim Allen, one of the three principals of FiveStar Lifestyles, has teamed up with builder Cory Childress of Evan-Talan Homes and renowned architect Scott Bickford to create an Old World Italian hilltop village inside one of two gated communities at The National Golf Club of Kansas City. These five, exquisite and exclusive lots will feature homes priced from $1 million and up.

The National Golf Club of Kansas City is honored to receive the designation as one of the Top 100 Golf Communities in the country by Travel + Leisure Golf Magazine.

The National is the only community to receive this designation in the entire Midwest. In fact, no golf community within less than 500 miles of Kansas City, MO were selected to this prestigious list. James Allen, Managing Director of The National says, "There are obvious reasons why a community like Isleworth in Orlando, Florida or a historic location like The Greenbrier in West Virginia are chosen... but for us to be named for the second year in a row is a distinct honor to our residents and community."

In compiling their inaugural list, the publication identified those communities that best combine superb golf with homes and facilities of the highest quality, extraordinary location and a wealth of lifestyle opportunities.
