River’s Gate unveils new showhomes in Sturgeon County
Prospective buyers can get a peak into the budding neighbourhood from Beaverbrook Communities
The Club & Residences of River’s Gate tempts prospective homebuyers with the prospect of living in Sturgeon County’s only gated community, but two new showhomes have recently opened, giving buyers a peek into the budding neighbourhood.
River’s Gate, a development by Beaverbrook Communities, sits nestled between Riverlot 56 Protected Natural Area, the Sturgeon River Valley and the Sturgeon Valley Golf & Country Club. Three dedicated builders operate in the community — Alquinn Homes, Heredity Homes, and Henderson Quality Building — and two of them unveiled their showhomes in early September.
The showhome crafted by Alquinn Homes features a modern classic style with dark wood cabinetry throughout. Those features are complemented by an open-concept floor plan and abundance of natural light on each of the home’s three levels. Minimalistic styling showcases elegant fixtures, a spacious mud room contains built-in storage, and the master bedroom has vaulted ceilings and a spacious ensuite. The lower level offers plenty of space for entertaining and a built-in bar, making it an ideal gathering place for friends and family.
Heredity Homes also unveiled its showhome in September, boosting the community’s curb appeal with sophisticated luxury styling. The home’s open concept produces a welcoming impression, while an array of windows offer beautiful views of the surrounding area. Heredity’s quality craftsmanship is on display throughout the home, and the spectacular four seasons room adds to the main floor’s contemporary design, providing homeowners with a space they can enjoy year-round.
Henderson Quality Building is planning to open its showhome — a 2,668-square-foot offering with luxury finishings and an openconcept design — during the summer of 2018. In addition to River’s Gate’s dedicated builders, the community also features public lots starting at around $330,000, allowing customers to purchase lots directly from the developer and select their own builder.
River’s Gate is beginning to take shape after years of work. Gating a community is a difficult process because gates are not permitted on public residential roadways, and developers are required to comply with so many regulations they often find themselves succumbing to all the red tape. Working closely with Sturgeon County council members, Beaverbrook developed a strategy that created a public utility lot on the road where the gate would sit. The public utility lot cleared the way for Beaverbrook to gate the roadway and produce River’s Gate.
Showhomes are open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1-5 p.m., but visitors are invited to book an appointment by calling Alquinn Homes at 780-902-3172 or Heredity Homes at 780-458-3646. To learn more about the Club & Residences at River’s Gate, please visit www.riversgate.ca.
