AT HOME WITH NATURE AT CREEKSIDE ESTATES
RDG Management project in Hope offers impressive design, stunning setting
Imagine living luxuriously in a home amid sky-piercing mountains, deep canyon ravines, serene lakes and raging rivers – and with abundant recreational, retail and community amenities at your disposal.
The setting is Hope, and the residence that provides this lifestyle is part of 30 two- and three-bedroom single-family homes comprising Creekside Estates, the latest offering from RDG Management and appropriately referred to as the place “where nature is your neighbour.”
The developer of the award-winning The Ridge at Bose Farms, Monarch, and St. Andrews has this time out created contemporary-styled dwellings showcasing impressive front elevations and backing onto Hope’s majestic Silver Creek, a churning current that’s a wonder to the eye and a soothing delight to the ear.
Creekside Estates is “ideal for urban empty nesters who want to downsize and relocate to a genuinely natural, rural setting while being close to amenities and services normally found in big cities,” says Jamie Squires, vice-president of Fifth Ave Real Estate Marketing Ltd.
With a population of just under 6,000 residents, Hope provides a broad range of indoor and outdoor recreational opportunities, whether it’s exploring the hidden tunnels of the Fraser Canyon or trekking through nearby provincial parks. (Sylvester Stallone’s character Rambo did the latter during the filming of First Blood more than 30 years ago, and even today, tourists from around the world visit Hope to see where the shooting took place.)
More importantly for lifestyle comfort, Hope’s town core is brimming with artisan shops, galleries, grocery stores, pubs and restaurants – even a bowling alley. It’s also in proximity to the larger urban centres of Chilliwack and Abbotsford, and Vancouver is a scenic 100-minute drive away on Highway 1.
RDG Management, along with interior designer Creative DesignWorks Inc., developed Creekside Estates to be a literal jumping off point for everything Hope offers: the homes are located close to walking trails, schools and shops. Inside, they boast nine-foot ceilings with oversized windows; gourmet kitchens with centre islands and beautiful Shaker-style cabinets; and oversized bathroom showers and soaker tubs.
Every step of the way, efficiency has informed the design of Creekside Estate homes, from the low-maintenance 30year laminate shingle roofs and low “E” glass double-glazed windows, to the energy-efficient direct vent natural gas forced air heating – with everything backed by a comprehensive 2-5-10 year Travelers Guarantee of Canada home warranty.
But as with RDG’s other communities, Creekside Estates is expected to attract a flurry of buyers from across Metro Vancouver seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle. Squires says: “We have a fully furnished show home that is open for viewing from Thursday to Sunday, so come and see what having nature as your neighbour is all about.”
