| Colonial Heritage is a new, active-adult,
age-restricted, country-club retirement community located on
700 beautiful acres in lovely Williamsburg, Virginia
(population 12,000). Home to Colonial Williamsburg and
the College of William and Mary, this area is steeped in
history and close to major medical facilities, outstanding
dining, wonderful museums, the Chesapeake Bay and unlimited
recreational activities. Colonial Heritage is the only
55+ community in Williamsburg. |

The 18-hole, championship golf course, designed by Arthur
Hills, winds its way through several community neighborhoods, and
there are four home series, each with three floor plans. All
homes are built by Lennar and are on a single-level with first-floor
master bedroom suites; the designs are open and airy. The
least expensive series is the Carriage Series, with base prices
starting at $329,000 (2 bedrooms and 2 baths) and rising to $349,000
(3 bedrooms and 3 baths). The most expensive series is the
Executive Series; here homes start at $485,000 (2 bedrooms and 2
baths) and go up to $535,000 (4 bedrooms and 3 baths).
Upgrades will add to the cost of each home. Model homes
are open now.

The pride and joy of this development is the huge 25,000 square foot
Heritage Clubhouse which houses restaurants, a billiards room, a
grand ballroom, an arts and crafts room, a woodworking shop, a card
room, a lounge and a library with computers. There are also
tennis courts and a full-time activities director.
Residents also enjoy the 7,500 square foot athletic club with large
indoor and outdoor pools and a fitness center. The 170
acre, 18-hole golf course, designed by Lennar Corporation, is still
being completed but will include a driving range and practice
green.
Virginia
Beach with its 28 miles of white sand beaches is just an hour to the
east, and Washington, D.C. is roughly 150 miles
north.
This region
has a mild, four-season climate, with winter temperatures in the 40s
and summer temperatures in the 70s and 80s. Humidity
averages 70%, depending on time of day and time of year, and it is
cloudy roughly half the time.
Health care
in this area is excellent. The Williamsburg Community Hospital
(757-259-6000) is located in Williamsburg, and the outstanding
Medical College of Virginia is 45 minutes west in
Richmond. Norfolk, 40 miles southeast, is home to
Sentara Hospital.
While health care is top-notch and living in Williamsburg affords
seniors many ways to indulge in cultural and recreational
activities, it comes at a price. The cost-of-living in this
area is roughly 25% above the national average.
Colonial
Heritage is offering potential buyers an opportunity, called the
Discovery Package, to come visit the community. This visit,
and marketing event, costs $195 per couple and includes luxurious
accommodations for two, two continental breakfasts and dinner at one
of six finer Williamsburg restaurants, as well as two Colonial
Williamsburg Freedom Passes and a Williamsburg Winery tour. It
will also include a real estate tour. Call 866-456-1776
for more information.
