The Lodge at Riverstone to Hold Groundbreaking Event this Week

May 29, 2016

Madera, CA - Development of a major new amenity at the master-planned community of Riverstone officially gets underway this week with the groundbreaking of The Lodge at Riverstone, the community’s resort-style clubhouse. The Lodge is being constructed in the heart of the Lodge District, Riverstone’s inaugural residential neighborhood offering the community’s first collection of new homes. Model homes are currently under construction and anticipated to open late 2016. Interested homebuyers are encouraged to add their name to the Interest List at www.RiverstoneCA.com.    

The Lodge at Riverstone will be a community clubhouse in a class by itself. Showcasing architecture that combines the rusticity of farm with the magnificence of the west’s National Park lodges, the venue is expected to offer a fitness center, pool, spa, cabanas and more.
Just a short walk or bike ride away from Riverstone’s first collections of new homes, Adventure Park is anticipated to offer play structures, climbing boulders, three different slides, a small amphitheater, and grassy areas for all kinds of kid-sized fun.

“We’re excited to have our shovels in the ground as we kick off construction for what will be the first of multiple community clubhouses we’ll be building in our development,” says Riverstone’s Tim Jones. “The Lodge, like all of Riverstone, will be refreshingly different. It will be a family-friendly clubhouse the likes of which have rarely been seen, with exciting amenities inside and out. We think families will simply love it.”

A contemporary, agrarian-influenced structure, The Lodge at Riverstone is anticipated to offer a state-of-the-art fitness center, flexible spaces for gatherings and events, and an outdoor terrace with a sparkling pool, spa, cabanas and a refreshments bar.

“Quite simply, The Lodge will be one of a kind,” said architect Todd Larner of William Hezmalhalch Architects, Riverstone’s land-planning and architectural firm. “Its vernacular celebrates the heritage of the great National Parks where you have open exposed beams, grand windows for inspired views, and authentic building materials that are permanent and lasting. It will feel like a timeless, historic mountain lodge that’s been converted exclusively for the enjoyment of Riverstone residents.”

The Lodge includes a Gear Barn, serving as a basecamp for outdoor pursuits. “Everyone loves our community’s epic surroundings,” continued Tim Jones, “but not everyone has the recreational equipment in which to fully enjoy and explore them. That’s the whole idea behind the Gear Barn.” This rental program exclusively for residents will be the jumping-off point for adventures in every season. A variety of gear will be available to homeowners for on- and off-site adventures—everything from kayaking, camping and mountain biking to fishing, hiking and Sierra Nevada snow skiing.

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 front door of every residence. Adventure Park will be an active play area with spaces designed for two to five, and five to 12-year-olds, while Garden Park is anticipated to feature barbecue areas, shade structures, a cutting garden and a series of exercise stations providing a convenient way for residents to tone muscles and stay fit.

A place for man’s best friend, Riverstone’s dog park 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.

Situated in the heart of the region’s path of growth, Riverstone—when complete—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.
