McCaffrey Homes to Build the First Collection of Residences at Riverstone Master-Planned Community

March 19, 2016

Madera, CA - An innovative, award-winning homebuilder with local roots and three generations of success will be crafting the inaugural collection of homes at Riverstone, the new 2,000-acre master-planned community coming to southeast Madera County. The stylish new residences from McCaffrey Homes are taking shape in a family-oriented neighborhood within Riverstone known as the Lodge District.

Two distinctive collections of McCaffrey homes will be offered at Riverstone—the Santerra, and the Ivy. Both collections are anticipated to be ready for occupancy Fall 2016. Interested homebuyers are encouraged to add their name to the Interest List at www.RiverstoneCA.com.

Reflecting American Traditional classic architecture, the Ivy Collection from McCaffrey Homes will feature flexible living areas, top-of-the line amenities and many energy-efficient innovations. Image is an artist’s conception.

Kid-sized fun and excitement await at Riverstone’s Adventure Park. Located just a short walk or bike ride away from the community’s first homes, the active play area is anticipated to feature climbing structures with a connecting bridge that leads to three different slides.

“We’re very excited to have McCaffrey Homes as our first homebuilder,” says Riverstone’s Tim Jones. “McCaffrey is a homegrown and highly respected and experienced homebuilder with an unwavering commitment to enduring craftsmanship—as well as a real passion for elevating the quality of life for families all throughout the Central Valley.”

With one- and two-story homes ranging in size from 1,598 square feet to 2,880 square feet and prices starting in the low $300,000s, the Santerra collection by McCaffrey Homes exemplifies the California spirit with its gorgeous architecture. Homebuyers will find designs to satisfy every stage of life, from singles to young families to multi-generational families. The four stylish floor plans up to five bedrooms and three and one-half bathrooms showcase innovative designs and a wide range of features in which to choose.

The spacious Ivy collection by McCaffrey Homes reflects an upscale Ivy League feel with American Traditional classic architecture. Ranging in size from 2,394 square feet to 4,143 square feet and prices starting in the upper $300,000s, the four brand-new floor plans feature flexible living areas to enhance individual family lifestyles, including multi-generational families. With up to six bedrooms and three and one-half bathrooms, these luxurious one- and two-story homes include top-of-the line amenities and numerous energy-efficient features.

Situated in the heart of the region’s path of growth, the new-home community of Riverstone will be a celebration of California living where people of every generation can enjoy the relaxed and informal spirit of the Golden State. When complete, Riverstone will total approximately 6,578 single-family, attached and multi-family homes, as well as commercial and mixed-use space including office, service and retail. Amenities at Riverstone are anticipated to include walkable neighborhoods with 200 acres of public and private parks and open space reserves, an extensive trail network, on-site schools, and a nearby stretch of the San Joaquin River and adjacent lake.

In addition to the comforts of home, Riverstone will be the kind of community that presents families with many reasons to head outside to play. Five neighborhood parks are planned for various locations throughout the Lodge District, and all will only be a short walk or bike ride away from the district’s first collection of homes. An active play area with spaces designed for two to five, and five to 12-year-olds, Adventure Park will offer play structures, climbing boulders and the fun of three different slides—all with a soft, spongy ground to safely cushion youngsters’ falls. The park is also anticipated to include a small amphitheater, an ideal spot to enjoy an outdoor play or musical performance, or where moms and dads can simply relax while keeping an eye on their children at play.

Another new park coming to the Lodge District is Garden Park, with planned barbecue areas, shade structures, a large communal table ideal for outdoor dining, and a cutting garden where residents will be able to snip a variety of fresh flowers and take them home to enliven their interior spaces. The park will also feature a series of exercise stations, providing a convenient way for residents to tone muscles and stay fit.

Anchored right in the heart of the Lodge District will be “The Lodge” itself, a community clubhouse in a class all its own. A contemporary, agrarian-influenced structure, The Lodge at Riverstone will combine the rusticity of farm with the magnificence of the West’s National Park lodges of yesteryear—revealing elements such as open exposed beams, grand windows for inspired views, and authentic building materials that are permanent and lasting. The grand venue is anticipated to offer a state-of-the-art fitness center, flexible spaces for gatherings and events, a Gear Barn providing recreational equipment, and an outdoor terrace with a sparkling pool, spa, cabanas and a refreshments bar.

Since dogs are so important to today’s families, the dog park at Riverstone is envisioned to include every canine-loving amenity imaginable—from an abundance of trees and dog fountains to open-space areas ideal for running, frolicking and Frisbee catching. The dog park will feature separate areas for small dogs and big dogs, both with their own separate, gated entry. The separation will help ensure that both the dogs and their owners are able to enjoy a better, safer park-going experience.

Hiking and biking trails are planned to link all of Riverstone’s residential districts together. The first trail completed will intersect existing agricultural lands, leading to an overlook affording picturesque orchard vistas.
