EMBRACING AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

Briar Hill residents enjoy recreation in amenity-rich, vibrant community

-

There’s life as you know it — and then there’s life as you will know it at Briar Hill.

This award-winning active adult community in Alliston, Ontario, features condominiu­m-style homes adjacent to the Nottawasag­a Resort, where homeowners can take full advantage of a range of amenities that will make every day feel like a getaway.

Briar Hill residents have access to the resort’s 70,000-square foot fitness club, which includes a fully equipped gym, a 25-metre indoor pool, racquet sports facilities and more. Also onsite are two restaurant­s and a lounge, two NHL-sized ice pads with year-round hockey leagues and six kilometres of walking trails. New homeowners are offered a compliment­ary oneyear golf membership to the 45-hole award-winning Nottawasag­a Resort golf courses, which offer tight fairways, dramatic elevations and demanding challenges that are perfect for serious and recreation­al players alike. Within the Briar Hill community is the popular 16,000-square-foot community centre, where neighbours gather to enjoy a wide variety of active and social events.

Living with virtually no need for exterior maintenanc­e means you can forget the responsibi­lities of homeowners­hip and enjoy all that life has to offer. Briar Hill has recently unveiled an exclusive release of Vistas Hillside homesites, which include detached, semi-detached and townhome designs that feature open-concept floor plans, superior craftsmans­hip and design. At Briar Hill, luxury is standard and many elements that are often considered premium upgrades, such as granite kitchen countertop­s, oak stairs and railing systems, are included in the home price.

For empty nesters, Briar Hill is the perfect choice. “Our previous home was just too big for us with the kids gone,” says Briar Hill resident Ed Cotton. “We were looking for a community with golf and we travelled across southern Ontario looking for just the right place. We ended up at Briar Hill — we loved it from the first impression. The homes were beautiful and well built, with lots of choice. And it was on a golf course that we had played before and liked.”

After moving in, they “discovered a sense of community with our neighbours, and lots of great activities at the community centre that gets the residents together to share good times with others who have similar interests,” says Ed’s wife Catherine.
