Bluestem was originally platted as Sunset Ridge. The first developers had imagined a neighborhood of $700-$1000's. So all of the lots, in the first plat, were at or near half acre. Then the recession came and it closed down after building two homes.Then Prime Development came in, kept the first plat as all half acre or so lots and they lowered the initial price point. Bluestem became the hottest selling subdivision in Johnson County regardless of price point after that. Agents were scouring their databases to call everyone who had wanted a half acre lot in Johnson County and didn't want to spend $800K or more.After the first plat sold out, the following plats were made closer to 1/3 acre lots. The sales pace continued until Bluestem was sold out.
