MAKE EVERY DAY FEEL LIKE A VACATION
Retirement community keeps amenities close to home
Inverlyn Lake Estates is described as an “active lifestyle community” and, given the location and terrain, that’s no surprise.
Situated on the shores of Lake Huron, near Kincardine, this community of 150 homes is within walking distance of a pristine sandy beach, 8 km of private hiking trails, within 90 acres of private green space, as well as an inland lake. Nearby, the 18-hole semi-pro golf course Ainsdale is well-used and much loved, but during the warm weather, waterfront living is the main focus — paddle boards, canoes, and kayaks are permanent fixtures of the summer vistas. It’s a way of life with great appeal to empty nesters and those in early retirement.
All of MacGregor Enterprises homes are bungalows or bungalows with lofts, designed for “aging in place.” Wide doorways and hallways, high toilets and vanities along with a tub-shower and walk-in shower results in ease of living for the homeowner. Pot drawers are installed in the kitchen, as well as levered door handles and low thresholds, to create a safe and accessible home that provides comfort no matter what stage of life a resident is in.
Besides long-term convenience, homes by MacGregor Enterprises reflect a philosophical commitment to the environment, and residents can expect construction that well surpasses building codes. MacGregor’s construction includes Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) foundations, and Structurally Insulated Panels (SIP) construction for all exterior walls, including the garage. For homeowners, this means a quieter, more comfortable living environment as well as lower heating and cooling costs.
Inverlyn Lake Estates is a free-hold condominium. Residents own their home and lot, and all amenities are shared. The low condo fee covers maintenance of these amenities, including roads, the lake and dock, as well as the clubhouse.
While many homeowners indulge in the cultural events and local attractions of Kincardine — the summer music festival, Scottish Festival & Highland Games, Theatre Guild and art galleries, to name just a few — Inverlyn’s clubhouse means they can also find plenty of entertainment close to home. The salt-water pool, woodworking shop, library and games room are just some of the ways residents keep active and get to know each other.
It all means that homeowners have options when it comes to how they want to spend their days. That, combined with a natural landscape and conscientious design, makes a home in Inverlyn a great investment.
