Take a Hike!

One of the many draws to Lake Country, and the Okanagan in general, is the abundance of wonderful recreational activities available to residents year-round.  Of course the area is famous for its skiing in the winter, but the Okanagan also has a reputation for being one of the hottest summer vacation destinations in the country!  Between the many lakes, golf courses, and wineries, there's plenty to keep yourself busy with in the warmer months.  But if you're looking for some regular activity right outside of your own front door, then Cadence at The Lakes is the place to be, with access to excellent hiking and walking trails right within The Lakes development.

Walk Around Lake Country, a volunteer group dedicated to establishing and maintaining hiking and walking trails throughout the community, has recently completed a cairn marker at what they're calling "The Grand Overlook," part of the Spion Kopje Mountain Trails network.  From this newest vantage point, hikers will be rewarded with stunning views of the entire Okanagan Valley, including Okanagan Lake, Wood Lake, Duck Lake, Lake Country's orchards and vinyards, plus the surrounding mountain ranges.  Residents of Cadence will find easy access to these trails at the southern trail head located at The Lakes' reservoir area.  Please see #13 on the left-hand side of the following map for further details:

Spring Parade of Homes a Smashing Success

We just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for helping to make our recent Spring Parade of Homes at The Lakes event a huge success. We had a fabulous day full of fun and excitement, smiles all around, and some beautiful sunshine to top everything off! The Lakes was extremely busy all day, with hundreds of people passing through the community; many who were previous visitors coming back for a second look, and now some who will be calling Cadence home.

Mr Brian Williams was the lucky winner of our grand prize draw at the event: a complete set of Taylormade golf clubs valued at over $2,500.  Here he is picking up his spoils from Bill at our Show Home.  Congratulations Brian - we hope you enjoy them!

In addition to all the activity taking place at our event, Bill and Eric still managed to find the time to write two deals that day. And the fun didn't stop there; since the Spring Parade of Homes we have signed another two deals at Cadence; one of which was for our lovely pre-built Fresco on Lot 7. This means we now have three homes under construction with more people telling us they're anxious to move forward every day.  So you better hurry if there's a particular lot you had in mind; the remaining lots in Phase 1 are selling quickly!

The Courtyard Option

When you build at Cadence, you begin by selecting one of our seven spacious floorplans and then have the opportunity to review a thoughtfully compiled list of options and upgrades available to customize your home. Although the standard houses at Cadence are all well-equipped to begin with, there may be some areas where you choose to personalize your space and go beyond the base plan. One of these options could include the front elevation of your home; at Cadence you have the choice between a porch, which comes standard, a veranda, or an entry-way courtyard.

The most recent home that we've constructed on Lot 7 is the first house at Cadence to feature our unique courtyard entrance. Not only is this addition an attractive complement to your exterior facade, it's also a wonderful way to add more outdoor living space to your home. Constructed of Allan Block with exposed aggregate patio surface, this split-face courtyard block wall system in "Smoke" colour adds timeless beauty to your outdoor living environment. And by creating up to 120 additional square feet of bonus space, there's even more opportunity for you to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Cadence at The Lakes!





As mentioned earlier, Cadence also has two other options for your entry way. Besides the courtyard, there is the standard porch, as seen here on our Concerto home:



And we also offer a veranda upgrade, as seen here on our Lot 23 Fresco:



So as you can tell, there are many different possibilities waiting for you when you choose to build your home at Cadence at The Lakes. With no detail forgotten, we make sure that life's good lived at your own rhythm!
