Your Guide to New Housing Developments in the Columbia Valley
Pine Ridge Mountain Resort Business Feature by Sandra Kelly Pineridge Mountain Resort, high above the shores of Lake Windermere, offers alpine splendor and wilderness tranquility, but also close access to the shops, restaurants and recreational amenities that make the Columbia Valley so popular. When it is complete, seven to ten years from now, this master-planned resort will contain 300 singlefamily homes, 400 villas and alpine-style town homes, eight kilometers of walking trails and a recreation centre. The latter will have meeting facilities and 60 apartment suites, an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a professional fitness facility, steam showers, a terraced patio and a grand residents’ lounge with a stone fireplace. “Pineridge Mountain Resort will be a world class resort community,” says Jon Dick, Vice President with the Statesman Group of Companies. “We are offering a secure investment to our buyers and a stunning place in which to vacation or to live year-round.” The resort will be a sustainable green community with almost 40 percent of its total area dedicated to forest and green space. Statesmen will employ Built Green Technology in the design and construction of the town homes, and use xeriscaping on every building lot. There will be no fences. “We want to maintain a feeling of spaciousness and untouched wilderness,” says Mr. Dick. Phase I of the resort incorporates 26 town homes being built by Statesman. These premium quality homes are priced from $499,000. Outside, the resort has an alpine theme. Inside, buyers can choose to go either rustic or contemporary. “We recognize that tastes differ,” says Mr. Dick. “We’re finding that people really appreciate being given the choice.”
