Call it the best of both worlds. Located just minutes past the Perimeter in the historic town of Stonewall, Stone Ridge Meadows is a beautiful, picturesque community, perfect for families seeking the quiet serenity of country living, while keeping all the necessary urban amenities close by. Designed and developed by Genstar, a company that has master-planned numerous North American communities over the last 60 years, this neighborhood offers large, scenic lots in an attractive, natural environment set in an existing forest abundant with wildlife and endless possibilities. But even with ample natural scenery right outside their doorways, Stone Ridge Meadows residents are still close to the services and conveniences offered by Stonewall, a peaceful community rich with heritage and pride. Only a short drive north of Winnipeg on a safe, smooth four-lane highway, Stonewall is a town respectful of its environment, wildlife and its citizens. It is also home to a hospital, an excellent school system for children of all ages, quality restaurants, financial institutions, and a wide array of shopping amenities that include locally owned businesses and chain retailers. Founded in the late 1800s, Stonewall began as a major limestone production centre. Its history is highlighted in characteristic sites such as historical buildings, quarries and the newly restored Quarry Park, a substantial recreational facility perfect for organized sports and other fun activities. Located near top Manitoba attractions like Oak Hammock Marsh and Lower Fort Garry, Stone Ridge Meadows is the ideal place to raise a family. "Stone Ridge Meadows has everything a family needs, with the added value of our large private lots," says Dave Boles, Genstar Development manager. "A 60-foot lot is attainable in this community for the same price as a 40-foot lot in the city. It's a tremendous value." Boles adds that the lots in the first two phases of Stone Ridge Meadows are sold out. The third and final phase of Stone Ridge Meadows is serviced and participating home builders are now selling lots in Phase III. "These lots are available in a variety of sizes with up to 75 feet of frontage and depths up to 150 feet. Some of the largest lots in the entire development are available in this final phase," he says. "All properties in Phase III back onto a public reserve so that backyards have additional privacy. The lots in this final phase represent the last available opportunity to build a dream home in this beautiful, natural environment." Genstar has partnered with five leading home builders that bring a number of spectacular designs, creating a no-cookiecutter environment on the unique streetscapes of Stone Ridge Meadows. Participating home builders include Kensington Homes, Warkentin Homes, A&S Homes, Hilton Homes and Trikor Homes. "The superb designs by these leading home builders exemplify the qualities we strive for in Stone Ridge Meadows, creating a distinct modern country living experience," Boles says. Quiet and convenient. Lovely and lively. Modern and historic. Stone Ridge Meadows is the ideal community for families looking for country charm and urban convenience. • Incredible Savings, Unmatched Selection, Exceptional Service There's never been a better time to learn about DirectBuy Scan Here: DirectBuy is the new way to buy, a way for you to get what you want and not have to settle for what you think you can afford.
