Active Lifestyle, Fabulous Location Has 'Zoomers' Flocking To Loyalist Estates in Bath, Ontario

BATH, ON, CANADA, October 08, 2010 (Press-News.org) Take a drive through Loyalist Estates, the Kaitlin Group's signature golf course community in the picturesque town of Bath near Kingston, and you may never want to leave. And now that the award-winning builder has opened up a new phase of 44 premium lots, all backing onto the prestigious Loyalist Golf and Country Club, you may not have to.

"The number one reason people choose a Loyalist Estates home is location," says sales representative and community resident Ted Custance. "The lifestyle here is fantastic. You're in a breathtaking rural environment, with every possible activity at your fingertips, and yet you're just a 15-minute drive from Kingston with easy access to both Toronto and Ottawa as well."

The Loyalist Estates lifestyle centres on the Loyalist Country Club, a par 72, 18-hole championship course that is consistently rated one of the top golf courses in the Kingston area. Membership in the club is available to home purchasers for an annual fee of $800 per household, which includes access to an outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts, fitness facilities, member's lounge, games room, dining room, pro shop, locker rooms and showers. The $7,500 initiation fee is included in the purchase price of every home and homeowners receive the added advantage of a 10 percent discount on golf.

Meanwhile, the neighbourhood itself is just minutes from Lake Ontario in the waterfront village of Bath, which boasts a world class marina, walking trails, cycling routes, antique gift shops and farmer's market. Convenience shopping is close at hand, while the larger city of Kingston is just a short drive down Highway 33, offering more extensive shopping, entertainment and access to leading-edge health care at the Kingston General Hospital.

"This is one of the most active and energetic communities I've ever lived in," says Custance. "You always see people out walking, running or playing golf; you can wave at everybody and everybody waves back."

The 44 lots in the latest release at Loyalist Estates, slated to begin construction in the spring of 2011, represent a mix of freehold townhomes starting at $219,990 and detached homes starting at $309,990. Detached homes are available in bungalow, bungalow loft and two-storey floor plans ranging in size from 1,550 to 2,922 square feet, while townhomes are available in two- and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,269 to 1,703 square feet.
Exterior features include maintenance-free quality vinyl siding with optional brick and stone elevations and painted architectural trimmings; maintenance-free aluminum soffits, fascia, eavestroughs and downspouts; porches; attached one- or two-car garages with sectional roll up doors; and, fully graded lots with sod. Interior highlights include crafted cabinets in kitchens and bathrooms; quality ceramic tile; luxury 35 ounce broadloom; and, oak pickets and handrails with oak stringers on stairs to second floor.

According to Custance, the community has special appeal to "zoomers" - active members of the baby boom generation - who are picking up their roots and starting over. In particular, they enjoy the opportunity for an instant social life.

"We're an established community with a very dynamic country club as our focal point," he says. "Other communities are just getting started with the promise of recreational facilities one day down the road. Ours are here and are already very well used."
