The frontages vary from 17 m (~56 ft) to over 39m (over 100 ft)
Unlike a conventional strata plan, the boundaries of bare land strata lots are defined on land, much like a conventional legal parcel, instead of by the floors, walls and ceilings of a building.
Each strata lot is individual and will house a single family self contained dwelling.The common property is comprised of the private access roads, the private park with two ponds and a creek, as well as any other common infrastructure, utilities such as sewer and water lines. An owner of a strata lot is responsible for maintaining their individual home as well as 1/34th of the common area expenses (in the form of strata fees).
The strata fees cover the costs to maintain the landscape areas, including the private park with 2 ponds and a creek, as well as the maintenance of the roads. They also cover the insurance and utility cost associated with the common property. Part of the strata fees a used to increase the contingency fund which can be used in the future to repair or replace common assets.

Craftsman, Victorian, Tudor style homes as well as some other heritage style homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s are welcome in the development. The homes we create are variations of these classic styles, blending the emotional comforts of the past with all of the conveniences and efficiencies of today.
Some additional information regarding the question most frequent asked by visitors. “How much does a home cost per square foot?”
Unfortunately, it is also one of the few questions that we simply cannot answer very specifically. Can you tell me how much it costs per pound for a new car? What is the "average cost" of a dinner for two? All of the above questions contain so many variables that it is impossible for anyone to answer them accurately without first asking several additional questions and gathering much more information. The same is true when calculating the cost to build a new home.Let's begin by considering what square foot homebuilding costs really are — nothing more than the total cost of a given project divided by the total number of square feet in that project. So, a 2,000 square foot home with total construction costs of $300,000 would cost $150 per square foot to build. Spend another $60,000 on a gourmet kitchen, an elegant master bath, marble tiles in the foyer, a fancy curved stair, 10 foot ceilings, triple car garage or any other combination of "above average" features or finishes and that same 2,000 square foot house would now cost $180 per square foot to build; an increase of 20 percent.
Now consider the structure itself. If the house in question is a rancher, with all of the finished area on one floor, the roof would have to be large enough to cover the entire 2,000 feet of living space. Turn that single level rancher into a two-story colonial and the roof size is instantly reduced by 50 percent because the second floor system became the "roof" for half of the area on the first floor. Increase the roof pitch from 4/12 to 12/12 and the roof area quickly increases by 35 percent. Of course, these examples are oversimplified because they don't consider any other differences like the need to add the cost of stairs and take away the space they occupy, or in the case of a slab-on-grade foundation, the difference between the cost of a concrete slab verses a wooden floor system, but hopefully the point has been made.
Costs of similarly sized homes can also vary considerably due to the shape of the building, the number of corners or offsets in the design, the type of foundation, the pitch of the roof, the type and quality of the mechanical systems and many other design characteristics that are not directly related to the size of the house. And, to make matters more confusing , there really isn't any uniform method of measuring square footage or defining what is included in those numbers. Is the builder or realtor using exterior dimensions or interior dimensions? How do they define heated or unheated space? Have they included the garage or basement or unfinished loft areas in their calculations? What about decks or covered porches? Is the land included in the square foot costs? What about building permits, liability insurance, utility connections, wells, septic systems, driveways, sidewalks, landscaping...
