You don’t need to be in the market for a multimillion dollar estate to walk away from this year’s 63rd Annual HOMEARAMA® with a full-blown wish list for your own home (or the one you’re always dreaming of).
When the gates open at The Estates at Bothe Farms at the end of this month, attendees will gain exclusive access to a showcase of the region’s elite builders, developers, decorators, landscapers, and craftsmen. For local homeowners or those just always eagerly on-the-browse, the upcoming show serves as a living lookbook — a dynamic experience far more satisfying to stroll through than to just scroll through home websites.
“This year’s HOMEARAMA® showcases estate-style living on spacious homesites of more than two acres,” says Carmen Hickerson, Executive Director of the Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati. “The eight featured custom homes range from approximately 5,500 to 9,000 square feet and are priced from $1.6 million to more than $3.7 million.”
Taking place August 29 – September 13th, this year’s HOMEARAMA® builders are Brookstone Homes, Eagle Custom Homes, John Hill Construction, Justin Doyle Homes, K Homes, Old World Custom Homes, Sterling Homes, and Wieland Builders.
“HOMEARAMA® also celebrates the collaboration behind every custom home,” Carmen explains. “Builders work alongside architects, designers, craftsmen, suppliers, landscapers, cabinet makers, and countless other professionals to transform a vision into reality ... highlighting the incredible talent within Greater Cincinnati’s residential building industry.”
And this year, it’s all about location, too. The neighborhood — on 9697 Cozaddale-Murdock Road in the Little Miami School District — is singularly pastoral yet convenient enough to deliver close proximity to local towns, favorite stores, and major roadways.
“Hamilton Township is one of Warren County’s fastest-growing communities — so The Estates at Bothe Farms offers a peaceful, rural setting near the Little Miami River while remaining just minutes from Loveland and Maineville,” Carmen says. “Residents will enjoy easy access to shopping, dining, parks, schools, major highways, and everyday amenities ... offering the best of both quiet country living and modern convenience.”
Home trends of years past have included butler’s pantries, game rooms, and man caves — so what can attendees expect in the newest wave of home must-haves?
“This year’s homes showcase many of the features today’s buyers are looking for … beautiful outdoor living spaces, flexible rooms that can adapt as families’ needs change, smart home technology, and innovative building materials and design,” Carmen shares. “Visitors will also see standout amenities including resort-style pools, expansive outdoor entertaining areas, golf
simulators, a flight simulator, a home brewery, home theaters, music rooms, and zero-entry first-floor living designed for both convenience and aging in place.”
General admission tickets are available now for $20 each (or $23 at the gate). More to consider, the showcase periodically hosts special events throughout its run, such as Food Truck Fridays, happy hours, and live music, plus special discounts and extras including an Opening Day Celebration with Rozzi Fireworks (Aug. 29), Meet the HOMEARAMA® Designers (Sept. 2), Date Night (Sept. 3), Hamilton Township Residents Day (Sept. 4), Union Savings Bank Car Show (Sept. 5), Animal Adoption Day (Sept. 6), Heroes’ Day (Sept. 11), and so many more.
“While these homes represent the pinnacle of custom homebuilding, HOMEARAMA® is ultimately about inspiration,” Carmen smiles. “Whether you’re planning to build, remodel, or simply dreaming about your next project, visitors will leave with ideas they can incorporate into homes of every size and budget.”
