From skilled craftsmanship and beautiful floor plans to smart home features and curated health and wellness options, Shea Homes® creates a lifestyle worth living at ThreeOaks™ – Trilogy® Boutique Community™ in Culpeper, Virginia.
Located just 70 miles from Washington, D.C., and only 45 miles north of Charlottesville, the new 55-plus, resort-caliber community provides residents with something unexpected. The close-knit, smaller-scale community includes around 268 high-quality homes in varying sizes in terms of bedrooms, baths, garages, lofts and basement options. Shea also provides homeowners with SheaConnect, which include time-, money- and energy-efficient products.
Originating as a family-owned plumbing business in 1881, the J.F. Shea Company has evolved into one of the largest and oldest privately held construction firms in the country, having contributed to iconic civil engineering projects like the Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge and, more recently, the Amtrak Baltimore project. In 1968, the company diversified into homebuilding and now specializes in developing master-planned communities.
The acclaimed Trilogy® brand is a key part of its core business today, with the company having been named America's Most Trusted® Active Adult Resort Builder for 13 consecutive years. The Culpeper community joins 16 other Trilogy communities — with more than 20,000 homeowner members — located throughout nine states.
Jason King, general manager of Shea Homes, said the Culpeper location is perfect for a boutique community.
“You can jump on a bike and be part of the downtown community culture within minutes,” he said. “Residents have all the amenities Trilogy communities are known for, but they also benefit from the wealth of cultural resources in and around Culpeper. The area has so much history, art, restaurants, outdoor activities, and yet, far enough from the Beltway to be away from the congestion. People still want to be connected to kids and grandkids, but don’t necessarily have to live in neighborhoods that don’t serve them anymore or homes that don’t fit their needs.”
The community is planned to be centered around the Open™ Wellness + Social Club, an expansive boutique hotel-lobby-like space that serves as the social and recreational hub. Residents will enjoy a variety of offerings including a restaurant and bar, social spaces, seasonal resort-style pool, fitness and wellness center, and a sports court and fitness lawn, to name a few.
A strong sense of community also helps to foster a connected social environment at this 55 plus community, which will feature member-led clubs, organized parties and trips. All residents have access to MyTrilogyLife.com, which provides information about community events. An Explore 360 travel program even provides residents the opportunity to meet peers across the country on organized vacations.
King said the design of the homes allows people to downsize their living space without downsizing their lifestyle.
The innovative Shea homes feature options like multi-panel rolling glass walls that merge indoor and outdoor space, expanded garages for hobbies, loft and flex space, and open-concept layouts that provide a seamless flow between the various rooms.
Homeowners can also enjoy standard features such as garage door connectivity, Wi-Fi thermostats and wall switches, and CAT6 wiring which helps create a faster, interconnected and efficient network. Additionally, homeowners will have access to motion detection doorbells with two-way microphones and live video capabilities, among others.
Of course, while buying a new home is an exciting life decision, the journey can be overwhelming. To help with this, Shea provides home buyers access to MySheaHome, a personal portal to help navigate the process, from the day they begin exploring options to closing day and beyond. The portal also makes it easy for buyers to store contracts and important documents, track the construction process, see photos as their home is being built, receive notifications, connect with an adviser and learn more about the ThreeOaks™ community.
The support doesn’t stop there, though. Once moved in, homeowners can use the portal to request service appointments, view warranty information and get care and maintenance tips, for example. Frequent blogs detail everything from how to style a home without overdoing it to maximizing natural light.
A Shea home is definitely a life worth living.
