Sally Creek is an 'adult lifestyle community'

The Woods Of Sally Creek
Claysam Homes
While Woodstock does not have any gated communities, if you're an empty-nester, The Woods Of Sally Creek is a destination you should consider.
An agent in our office (William Cattle) represents Claysam Homes, which has been building both detached ranches and one-floor townhomes in Woodstock for the past five or six years.
The Woods Of Sally Creek uses the slogan: "Surround Yourself With The Things You Love". Nature, expansive walking trails along a picturesque waterway, and a 9-hole golf course are part of the amenities of this 'adult lifestyle community'. When you buy in Sally Creek you will receive two 1-year golf memberships upon possession of your new Claysam house.
The builders' brochure describes the golf course quite vividly: ". . . Designed by the highly reputable architect John Robinson, is woven through the wooded valleys, and takes into consideration the character of the existing landscape and beauty and uniqueness of the area."
Claysam Homes, meanwhile, is a very accomplished builder. For more info, you can visit: claysamhomes.com
Call myself, sales rep Mark Schadenberg, today at (519) 537-1553 to tour the Sally Creek subdivision, and many model homes, which are listed on the MLS system (Realtor.ca). You can view the plans and envision yourself living here. If you're reading this from the GTA, you would be surprised and very pleased to see that a new ranch could be yours for under $260,000. The square footage drawings begin at 1150 with a 1-car garage and 40-foot frontage, but a much larger detached home (with or without second-floor living space) could also be built in your budget range.
I always believe, I sell homes -- that's my career. At the same time, I feel it's important to work with a local Realtor as I also sell communities and as a life-long resident know anyone would enjoy residing in Woodstock -- The Friendly City. Woodstock is about 30 minutes away from the Stratford Festival, and a 30-minute drive to K-W, London or Brantford. At the hub of the 401-403, it's safe to say Woodstock is the centre of Southwestern Ontario. Our community includes miles upon miles of walking/biking trails, an abundance of shopping and restaurants, wonderful tree-lined Victorian neighbourhoods if you prefer an experienced home, a thriving local theatre group, museum and 7-plex movie theatre in the Downtown, and the popular Southgate Centre (50+ recreation centre) at the entrance to wonderful Southside Park.
As for Sally Creek, it's located near the Pittock Conservation Area, which is part of the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority. The homes -- detached or townhouse villas -- are not condominiums as there are no reserve funds or maintenance condo fees because the streets are part of the City. The 'village' does have a property-care package available to residents who may spend part of the year in the south or may require assistance with landscaping. This is not seasonal living -- it's lifestyle living.
I have sold real estate full-time for Royal LePage (royallepagetriland.com) in the Woodstock (city.woodstock.on.ca) area for more than 12 years, call me if you have interest in the Sally Creek project or any other neighbourhood in The Friendly City. I'm the current chair of the Woodstock Recreation Advisory Committee, so I can answer all your questions about skateboard parks and recreation in general. I'm also a member of the Lions Club of Woodstock and sit on the steering committee for our local Relay For Life (relayforlife.ca/woodstock) to support the Canadian Cancer Society.
I look forward to hearing from you
