Residences at Spirit Ridge Offers Advanced Upgrades

OSOYOOS, B.C.

(September 2012): Bellstar Developments Inc., developers of The Residences at Spirit Ridge in Osoyoos BC, has created enticing and highly advanced option and upgrade packages for buyers,looking to own at one of the South Okanagan’s leading year-­round residential resorts.

The range of valuable upgrades and options include Control4, a unique remote control system that allows owners to customize almost everything within the Residences from another room or even another country. Control4 utilizes an intuitive, elegant user interface, which is the same on every Control4 device, whether it be a remote, television display or an in-­wall touch screen. The Control4 MyHome app makes it simple to control everything from an iPad, iPhone, tablet or PC, whether turning on or off all lights in the home, lighting certain areas of the home or adjusting window shades or thermostat when unoccupied to increase security and reduce energy consumption.

“We wanted to offer our owners the chance to customize their year-­round residential experience, while allowing the ability to effectively secure the home and keep energy costs to a minimum,” shared Curt Jansen, Director of Real Estate Sales & Marketing, Bellstar Realty. “Our options and upgrades package offers a thoughtful approach, tailoring each home and adding to the already superior fixtures and finishings.”

In addition to Control4, Residences owners may choose from numerous upgrades: engineered maple hardwood flooring; radiant heat under tiled floors; Kohler brushed nickel design series bath and kitchen fixtures; Kohler jetted hydrotherapy massage tub; double French patio doors; cultured stonework fireplace surround; and insulated garage space.  Other deluxe options include Honeywell/Ademco Vista alarm panel with keypad; home entertainment system with televisions on articulating arms, wall and ceiling surround sound speakers; Blu Ray 3D player and outdoor speakers; interior and exterior designer coordinated furniture and decor package including artwork and accessories for the entire villa; hexagon Italian-­inspired gas fire pit table for the patio; premium cast stone concrete water fountain in the courtyard; and electric battery charging station for a golf cart.

The villas offer superior finishes as standard, including ornamental imported granite counter tops; premium cast stone water fountain in the courtyard; GE Profile Energy Star stainless steel appliance package; expansive fold-­a-­way glass living room walls; and a large outdoor kitchen with side burner, stainless storage drawers and bar fridge.

The Residences at Spirit Ridge is the first development at the acclaimed NK’MIP Resort designed specifically for year-­round residential living. Priced from the low $400,000s with a desirable HST and B.C. property transfer tax exemption, the elegantly appointed two and three-­bedroom Residences are as masterfully designed as they are priced for today’s competitive real estate market. The first phase of the Residences at Spirit Ridge are nearly sold out and the second phase is projected to go on sale in September. Construction on Phase I is slated to start in fall 2012.
