ThreeOaks is definitely not your granddaddy’s retirement community.
A boutique version of the award-winning Trilogy communities, ThreeOaks is an exciting new concept in 55-plus living. It features single-family homes, a resort-style lifestyle that emphasizes friendship and connection, and all the amenities you could want for a happy, fulfilling life.
“We saw a huge number of baby boomers coming down the line, and we’ve really taken Trilogy to the next evolution,” said Jason King, general manager at Shea Homes.
Everything has been created for a youthful generation that’s redefining the way we age.
“It’s a community that feels different because it’s different by design,” said senior regional marketing manager Cassidy Forand.
Located in a picturesque town
ThreeOaks is located in charming Culpeper, Virginia. Founded in 1759, this picturesque city, whose first surveyor was George Washington, played an important role in the American Revolution and the Civil War. Today it’s known for its historic buildings and landmarks, as well as for charming boutiques, wonderful restaurants, and a full range of music, art and cultural events.
Culpeper is also close to Washington, D.C., and Charlottesville, so you can enjoy the exciting sports, music and theater they offer. For those who love the outdoors, Shenandoah National Park is just a half-hour away.
Resort-style living
At ThreeOaks, the premium amenities are elevated by the prestigious hospitality provided by Blue Star Resort & Golf. The hospitality emphasis is on fostering friendship, community and events that bring people together.
“One priority was the food and beverage experience, because people love breaking bread or enjoying a drink together,” said King. “The planned restaurant and bar will be gathering places for coffee, cocktails or dinner.”
There’s also plans of an abundance of indoor and outdoor activities, pickleball, a swimming pool, hiking trails, special interest groups for photography, veterans, art, games, Barrel Masters for wine lovers, and more. The lifestyle team will provide first-rate entertainment, and those who love to travel can take advantage of group tours, both here and abroad, specially arranged for members of Trilogy communities.
“These activities really help residents connect with people who have similar interests,” said Forand.
Another focus is on health and well-being, and at ThreeOaks this doesn’t just mean a gym with a few machines and weights.
“It’s more of a holistic approach, with opportunities to work on all of your wellness goals, whether it’s strength, flexibility or recovery,” said King. “There will also be classes, including Zumba, yoga and meditation, so people will have social connection even when they’re working on fitness.”
Quality-built homes
There’s nothing like the pride of owning your own single-family home — something else that distinguishes ThreeOaks from most other 55-plus communities.
These brand-new homes are quality-built by Shea Homes, the J. F. Shea company that is family-owned and has maintained its stellar reputation since 1881.
“We’ve got a great history of some pretty amazing projects, including work on the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam, and the Shea family is absolutely focused on quality,” said King.
These one-story, two- to six-bedroom homes have large entertaining areas, spacious cooking kitchens, expansive primary suites, optional basements and lofts, and room for family to stay when they visit — so even if you’re downsizing you won’t have to give up the joys of a larger house.
Sound pricey? Not at all. Homes at ThreeOaks start in the low $500s.
To experience this unique community for yourself, you can arrange a tour or attend a special introductory event with a complimentary lunch. Coming up is the Hard Hat Tour on Aug. 16, which will show you what goes into building a quality home, followed by an event at Old House Vineyards on Aug. 23, to introduce you to the ThreeOaks lifestyle.
