There are home tours, and then there is the Artisan Home Tour.

Each year, the Artisan Home Tour showcases some of the finest custom homes in the Kansas City area, giving visitors an exclusive opportunity to experience exceptional craftsmanship, innovative architecture, and thoughtfully curated interiors that are rarely open to the public. This year, Starr Homes is proud to feature three one-of-a-kind custom homes, each offering its own unique style, unforgettable amenities, and inspiring design ideas.

Whether you're planning to build a custom home, gathering inspiration for a future renovation, or simply appreciate exceptional craftsmanship, these homes are experiences you won't want to miss.

We’ve been sharing exciting updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and sneak peeks of these incredible homes as we count down to the 2026 Artisan Home Tour. Follow along on social media for the latest features, progress updates, and a closer look at what’s waiting for you on tour! 

Home No. 5 | The Annelisa | Parkville, Missouri

The Annelisa was built with entertaining in mind. From the moment you step inside, you'll notice the stunning architectural details, including custom white oak and quartz accents, dramatic arched openings, and warm finishes that create an inviting atmosphere throughout the home.

The lower level is designed for gathering, featuring a golf simulator, game room, media lounge, expansive entertaining bar, and a private fitness retreat complete with a sauna and cold plunge. Outside, the backyard feels like a private resort with an in-ground pool, spa, pickleball court, bocce ball court, putting green, outdoor kitchen, and beautifully landscaped spaces that seamlessly extend the living area outdoors.

Home No. 12 | The Arbor Haven | Loch Lloyd, Missouri

Inspired by modern mountain architecture, The Arbor Haven combines natural stone, warm walnut, and expansive walls of glass to create a home that feels connected to its surroundings.

With more than 8,100 finished square feet, this four-bedroom home offers a gourmet kitchen with a prep pantry, a welcoming hearth room, and an impressive lower level featuring a golf simulator, media room, billiards area, full wet bar, and wellness suite complete with a fitness room, sauna, and cold plunge. Every space has been thoughtfully designed to balance comfort, luxury, and everyday livability.

Home No. 13 | The Valhalla | Loch Lloyd, Missouri

The Valhalla is the definition of elevated entertaining. This nearly 8,750-square-foot reverse 1.5-story home combines refined architecture with unforgettable gathering spaces.

Visitors will discover a private home theater, golf simulator, hidden speakeasy, wine cellar, billiards area, and an indoor sports court cleverly integrated into one of the home's garage bays. The main level opens beautifully to a four-seasons room, covered lanai, and outdoor grilling area with views of the pool, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Photos simply don't do these homes justice.

The Artisan Home Tour gives you the rare opportunity to experience the scale, craftsmanship, and details that can only be appreciated in person. Walk through professionally furnished spaces, see the latest trends in custom home building, gather inspiration for your own home, and experience firsthand what makes a Starr Home truly unique.

Whether you're actively planning your dream home or simply love exceptional architecture and design, the 2026 Artisan Home Tour offers something to inspire every visitor. We invite you to tour all three Starr Homes, meet our team, and celebrate more than 22 years of building dream homes throughout Kansas City!

To celebrate, we’re giving away a Minky Couture blanket every day during the Artisan Home Tour. At a random time each day, one lucky guest visiting one of our three Starr Homes will be surprised with a cozy blanket. You never know when it could happen, so be sure to stop by and enjoy the tour!
