An Important Election: School Board
Two home communities at Ridge Creek Golf Club will be under construction next year.
Home Construction Planned at Ridge Creek
STAFF REPORTS ated to allow homebuyers to select their materials and personalize their home. All home and home site buyers will receive a one-year family membership to the golf club. Mark Davis, managing partner of Ridge Creek Partners, has partnered with homebuilder Ted Intravia of TTI Development, Los Banos. Dinuba Realtors Merlo Newton Real Estate will handle sales, and the preferred lender is Country Club Mortgage, Reedley. The Homes of Ridge Creek will be developed in four phases, Davis noted, and a boutique hotel and recreation center are proposed to complete the development. “The homes have been envisioned by the City of Dinuba since the beginning, as a complement to the Ridge Creek Golf Club,� Davis said. “The recession delayed the project but we feel the time is right now. Dinuba is growing and there are no homes like this in the greater Dinuba area. The golf club has a great reputation and we will build on that.�
The long-awaited development of custom and semi-custom homes at Ridge Creek Golf Club in Dinuba is moving forward, with construction expected to begin in the fall of 2014. The Dinuba City Council approved the site map and took its first look at initial renderings and floor plans developed by Visalia architect Stan Canby of Teter AE. The homes will reflect the Craftsman-style architecture of the Ridge Creek Golf Club clubhouse. The Golf Estates at Ridge Creek will be a gated community with 55 custom homes, on lots ranging from 10,000 to 26,000 square feet. Homebuyers can have Canby design their home, or choose their own architect. The Golf Villas at Ridge Creek will feature 115 semi-custom homes ranging in size from 1,780 to 3,400 square feet. Homebuyers will be able to choose from eight different floor plans for the homes, starting in the high $200s to the $400s. A design studio will be cre-
