Monterra Projects, known for building high quality custom homes and multi-family projects in the Comox Valley, has started construction on a new patio home project called Tanglewood, at The Ridge in South Courtenay.

The Ridge is a master-planned neighbourhood of new homes located just minutes away from the downtown core of Courtenay, shopping centres, major amenities and the Comox Valley Airport (YQQ).

Known for its panoramic views of Comox Bay, the mainland mountains and the Comox Glacier, there are now more than 100 families calling this community home. Many of the new homeowners have relocated from across BC and the country.

Tanglewood will feature 32 patio homes when completed. A community clubhouse in the centre of the development will include a great room, sitting area, kitchen and bathrooms. This private building will be accessible to all Tanglewood residents and their guests and is the perfect place to meet the neighbours and host family gatherings. The clubhouse will be completed in the fall of 2020.

Six new patio homes will be ready for occupancy in the fall of 2020. Phase 1 offers three floor plans, ranging from 1,338 to 1,542 sq. ft built in an open concept design. The outdoor patio flows seamlessly from the great room.

Well-appointed finishes throughout the patio homes include hardwood flooring, a gas fireplace and modern lighting. The five-piece master ensuite includes a separate walk-in shower, double sinks and a stand-alone soaker bathtub. 

Prices in Phase 1 start at $599,000. These homes will be built to Step Code 4 specifications, improving energy efficiency and comfort.

These builders have helped many happy homeowners build their dream homes at The Ridge. These homes can be built in a variety of styles, depending on your preferences and family needs.

Rancher/Bungalow Style Homes –  These homes are one-storey homes with an open interior design. The floor plan typically includes access from the kitchen/dining area to an outdoor patio. These homes appeal to growing families and older homeowners who would like to age in place.

Two-Storey Homes – These homes offer space and flexibility. This design accommodates those who like to enjoy their day-to-day living on the main floor of the home while the upper floor provides a separate living area, bedrooms and bathrooms.

Homes with Walk-Out Basements – The basement can be finished to expand the living space or a secondary suite can be added that can be rented or occupied by a family member. A separate entrance provides direct access to this area of the home.

Secondary Suites – All of the lots at The Ridge have been zoned to allow for secondary suites to be built as part of your new home. Create a comfortable and separate space for your guests, in-laws, adult children, or use the suite as a mortgage helper. A few homes are under construction now with secondary suites.
