Homebuilder: Indian Hill to host Homearama in summer 2021

A homebuilder says Homearama is coming to Indian Hill in the summer of 2021.

The site for the new homes showcase will be The Meadows at Peterloon subdivision and will include property that formerly was part of the Peterloon estate, a landmark home built by the Emery family in the early 1900s, the Hensley Custom Building Group of Loveland says on its website.

“We can’t wait to build on our legacy of crafting unique custom homes for clients in Indian Hill, and we’re thrilled to invite Homearama attendees to this special part of Cincinnati,” Tim Hensley, president of Hensley Custom Building Group, says on the website.

The Stonewood from Frazier Homes was one of 10 homes featured in the 2018 Homearama in Union Township.

The Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati sponsors Homearama. Its executive director, Dan Dressman, could not be reached for comment.

Last September, the Indian Hill Planning Commission conditionally approved a concept plan submitted by Emery Brothers Limited Partnership of Montgomery for The Meadows at Peterloon.

The subdivision, to be built north of Perin Road, south of Hopewell Road and east of Montgomery Road, calls for the subdivision of 131 acres of land into 42 lots and includes the donation of nearly 29 acres of green area, Indian Hill records show.

Emery Brothers Limited Partnership owns property described as a vegetable farm on Perin Road and Hopewell Road in Indian Hill, according to the Hamilton County Auditor’s website.

The website shows Emery Brothers also owns vacant residential land on Hopewell Road in Montgomery.

The Montgomery Bulletin, the city’s newsletter, reports in its April issue that Schoolhouse Lane in Montgomery is being extended to the corporation limit with Indian Hill in preparation for the development of The Meadows at Peterloon.

The subdivision will be built to the north of Schoolhouse Lane along Montgomery Road with subdivision lots accessed through Schoolhouse Lane in Montgomery, the Bulletin says.

The Hensley Custom Building Group’s website confirms Montgomery’s connection to The Meadows at Peterloon subdivision.

“This unique setting allows for easy access to the walkable shops and restaurants of Montgomery,” Hensley Custom Building’s website says.

“In addition, families in the neighborhood will enjoy excellent Indian Hill schools.”

Meanwhile, Homearama 2019 is at the Kensington development in Deerfield Township June 8 through June 23.

Also, a 40-house subdivision proposed for the East End could become Cincinnati's first-ever Homearama site since the showcase of homes debuted in 1962.

The project that developers T.J. Ackermann and Ralph Meierjohan want to build off Walworth Avenue below Columbia Parkway is under consideration for the honor in 2020.
