Draper
Neighbourhoods frame people's lives
WE UNDERSTAND THAT PURCHASING A NEW HOME IS A BIG DECISION.
Selecting the right community is an important step in the home buying or building process.
This is why we work hard to offer you beautiful homes in idyllic locations.
Resting on the southern bank and flood plains overlooking the Clearwater River, this picturesque neighbourhood consists mainly of lush acreages with mixed architectural stylings and individually unique approaches to homes and landscaping making it one of the most interesting areas in which to reside. It should be noted that this community treasures a rare level of privacy with many secluded homes seated along the hillside and winding river below. Local Dunvegan Gardens and Marketplace, a family run farm and greenhouse adds a beautifully maintained and fun element to the area where residents come together to participate in family friendly events and activities year round such as a giant jumping pillow, picnic areas, corn maze, hay rides and festive Christmas displays. Residents relish the freedom of country living and enjoy outdoor activities right in their own back yards such as quading, snowmobiling, hiking and fishing with all the benefits of being in close proximity to the bustling downtown core, schools and commercial services.
