>> It���s got all the communal comforts of country living, just a stone���s throw from the city. Building dreams, one story at a time. Visit Our Display Home at 7 Water Lily Lane in Sage Creek for homes starting around $400,000. Welcome to idyllic Wheatland Park, a Dugaldarea development 15 minutes east of Winnipeg that boasts large lots, scenic prairie views and a treasure trove of tranquil lifestyle options. Just five kilometres south of Oakbank, the community provides a serene setting in which to raise a family or enjoy retirement, with ponds, pathways and parks, plus an array of nearby retail amenities and recreational options. Lots now available in River Park South. ���It���s quiet, scenic and safe,��� says Tim Comack, Land Development Manager for Ventura Land Development Inc., which purchased the lot about five years ago with an eye on creating a country/suburban hybrid for young and middle-of-the-life-cycle families. ���The goal for us was to make it as affordable as possible, so there are very limited architectural controls, which allows most of the builders in Winnipeg to utilize almost any of their plans on the lots,��� Mr. Comack says. ���What we���ve tried to do is relax all the barriers to entry that people might experience in Oakbank or in Winnipeg, and to make it much easier for someone to get into a single family home.��� The development���s first two phases encompass 28 single-family building lots and an equal number of duplex-bungalow condos, all fully serviced by municipal sewer and water, Hydro, MTS and Centra Gas. See our display home listings in this magazine for more information.

Wheatland is a quick five-minute walk from Ecole Dugald School (which runs K-8 classes with a French immersion option), and is also close to the Springfield Library and state-ofthe-art Springfield Recreation Centre, a newlybuilt facility featuring an indoor arena and soccer pitch. The generous single-family lots are priced at $87,000 for 65 feet. Homes are designed with younger families and empty-nesters in mind, building on what Mr. Comack describes as ���pent-up demand��� for new development in the area. Dugald hasn���t had an active subdivision for 15 to 20 years, he says. Cont���d on page 126 Parade of Homes Spring 2013 125
