For residents looking to downsize their home, but not their lifestyle, the ThreeOaks™ – Trilogy® Boutique Community™, a 55-plus resort-caliber neighborhood in Culpeper, is a great place to start the next chapter in life.
Located just 70 miles from Washington, D.C., and only 45 miles north of Charlottesville, Trilogy provides residents with the unexpected. The close-knit, smaller-scale community includes 268 high-quality homes in varying sizes in terms of bedrooms, baths, garages, lofts and basement options. Built by Shea Homes®, the community also includes health and wellness design enhancements.
Part of the draw though, according to builder Jason King, general manager of Shea Homes and the Trilogy neighborhood, is the proximity to downtown Culpeper — itself a historical and cultural mecca with an extensive trail system, plenty of nearby outdoor nature amenities, shopping and multiple entertainment options.
“This area is perfect for people who still want to stay connected to the kids and grandkids but don’t necessarily have to live close to them in neighborhoods that don’t serve them anymore or homes that don’t fit their needs,” King said. “They’re far enough away from the congestion of the Beltway. Yet they still want to have family and friends visit. Here, they can downsize without sacrificing really anything.”
Within the Trilogy community, residents can connect with others, dine, wine and chill at the Open™ Wellness + Social Club, which is what King calls “the heartbeat of the community that makes all the homes unique.”
“This planned spacious area speaks to what we are trying to do, creating the social aspect of living here,” he said. “And what sets us apart is the BlueStar Golf and Resort team that will feature expert hospitality managers who create a full schedule of activities both on- and off-site for residents.”
For example, the hospitality experts may bring in master distillers and sommeliers as part of the community’s Barrel Masters program. Trilogy also offers Explore 360 adventures that allow members to travel the world with peers from all over the country on some pretty incredible bucket-list-worthy trips, with the most recent one a golf trip to Scotland.
“Shea Homes has been building homes for more than 57 years and developing communities that allow people the opportunity to live easy, happier lives. It’s part of our mission,” King said. “This is about more than building a house; it’s helping people understand they have an opportunity to change their lives for the better. The wellness aspect, the social connectedness and the educational opportunities are what makes a Trilogy community magical.”
King knows what he’s talking about. Trilogy by Shea Homes has 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 homes — located throughout nine states.
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 the development of master-planned communities.
