Grand opening for clubhouse at Heron Bay

A Grand Opening is currently being observed for the newly-constructed clubhouse at the entrance to The Cottages, Windsong Properties’ Active Adult Neighborhood in the Heron Bay resort-styled master-planned community.

To be used exclusively by the residents of Windsong Properties’homes in Heron Bay, the clubhouse is a 1,900 sq. ft. facility overlooking the 18th green of the community’s Canongate golf course.

Designed for fun and “hanging out,” the facility has a great room, a flexible recreation room with a dance floor and furniture for card playing and other games, a big screen television, a catering kitchen, a computer/library niche, and a gracious covered porch from which to watch the action on the 18th green of the golf course.

The Cottages, one of the newest neighborhoods in Heron Bay, will have 67 detached homes priced from $174,900 to the low $200,000s with 33 of these homes being situated along the 18th fairway of the golf course.

Two different home plans, The Walton and The Windstar, are being built by Windsong Properties in The Cottages. Both of these courtyard plans are designed to give homeowners great outdoor views and lots of interior light, while providing a sense of privacy and security. Also offered are a long list of special interior and exterior features, including a large master suite, a two-car garage, and low maintenance siding.

Homes in The Cottages are certified by the EasyLiving Home Coalition, a voluntary certification developed by a coalition of public and private organizations to encourage the inclusion of key features which make a home cost-effective, accessible, and convenient for everyone, no matter their age, size, or physical ability.

More information about homes in The Cottages can be obtained by calling on-site Sales Manager Georgia Wright and on-site hostess Carolyn Case at 770-898-1042.

With their home purchases, homebuyers in the Windsong Properties neighborhood in Heron Bay become residents of a country club community at an affordable price and can begin enjoying a large assortment of amenities, including a lake with opportunities for fishing, boating and other outdoor activities, as they are completed.

Community life in Heron Bay is centered around the recently-opened 5,000 sq. ft. lodge in the community, which is also serving as the development’s information center. This building has a great room, meeting rooms, fitness center, library, and children’s play room, and it can be utilized for community gatherings, homeowner association meetings, and other events. A verandah and arbor with an outdoor fireplace overlook the community’s aquatic center, which has heated pools including a junior olympic-sized swimming pool, zero entry pool with splash fountain, water slide and a mushroom forest.

The 18-hole championship Canongolf course has a clubhouse with a pro shop and grill, a driving range, and a practice range.

Other communitywide amenities include lighted tennis courts, children’s play park, sports field, and miles of nature trails which are adjacent to the Cubihatcha Outdoor Center, a county nature trail system and preserve. An additional swim and tennis center is in the planning for the future.

Heron Bay is on Ga. Highway 155 approximately five miles from Exit 216 off Interstate 75 and just 30 minutes southeast of downtown Atlanta. A 1,150-acre development by Minerva Properties, the community is in Henry and Spalding Counties along the eastern shoreline of the 1,100-acre Cole Reservoir. The Cottages at Heron Bay is located on the left one mile inside Heron Bay across Heron Bay Boulevard from the Canongate clubhouse.
