XC Skiing at Ridgeview Valley

Last weekend was perfect for the XC skiing.  I had a blast, now I can't wait for more snow.  We are planning to have the trails groomed for President's Day weekend providing we have snow.  Mark it on your calendar.  I thought I would share a few photos from last Saturday.  It was great to see our newest neighbors Chuck & Carol Brown.  Thank you so much Chuck for sending more photos. 

Yes, There is Snow at Deep Creek Lake

Thought I would post a couple of pictures from my office window.  It's still snowing and cold but it is really pretty.  If you are coming to Deep Creek Lake next weekend we will have the XC ski trails groomed and ready.  We have the photo show still going on, but in the farmhouse instead of the barn and we will have cocoa and snacks.

The Great Deep Creek Lake December Snow

Jeff sent me more photos of Ridgeview from last weekends snow storm.  It is a magnificently beautiful winter wonderland.  He & Doby has had so much fun XC skiing and grooming the trails.  If you are up over the holidays don't forget to stop by to see our Photo Show and bring your skis and sleds to play in the snow.  I hear we are to get some more this week.  In the mean time enjoy the photos and have a Merry Christmas.

 

 

Winter in Ridgeview Valley

Jeff took several pictures from the top of the hill, but he took them with his Blackberry so he only sent me one so he could get back to skiing.  Very cool pic, you can see all of his groomed trails. 

Harvest Season at Ridgeview Valley

Local farmers here in Garrett County are busy gathering in their crops preparing for winter's cold months ahead.  I know that all of our crops are finished at home and we are ready to move the cows inside any day now.  Ridgeview is not too far behind. Rick & Paul Kolb of Accident, MD have been busy making close to 90 acres of hay here at Ridgeview.  Pete was around last week and snapped a couple very pretty shots of the already harvested fields.  Enjoy the pics.

 

Construction Update at Ridgeview Valley

I am really excited to be able to share these photos of the new construction on Lot 85 owned by Richard Fazio.  This home is located further up the hill on Falcon's Way and is the first construction on that street.  It is really going to be a beautiful home with white pillars and wrap around porches.  Enjoy the photos!

Wedding at Ridgeview

We had a beautiful wedding despite the rain last Saturday here at Ridgeview.  It seems that Deep Creek Lake is becoming more and more popular for destination weddings.  Thought I would share some photos of the memorable event.

How Did Jeff Do?

As many of you know this past weekend was the Savage Man Festival, where hundreds of extreme athletes come to Deep Creek Lake to  participate in one of the world's most difficult half-iron man triathlons.  Jeff Gosnell, one of the partners in Ridgeview Valley competed last year on a co-ed team, came in 2nd in their class and decided to try the whole competition on his own this year.  Jeff is an amazing athlete, placing 43rd overall and 7th in his class.  That's incredible!!!!  He completed a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride and 13.1 mile run in just 6 hours and 8 minutes.  I will try to get some photos of the race to post on the blog.
Congratulations Jeff!!

78 Birdsong Way

I have not given you an update on this home in a while.  Boy, is it moving along fast.  Yesterday I stopped by to take some pictures for you and they are already planting shrubs.  This home is being built by Legacy Homes and is listed on the market for sale.  It has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and the great room/kitchen area is amazing.  I believe the square footage is approx. 2525 square feet.  Enjoy the pics.

Gosnell Home in Ridgeview Valley

I have not had a chance to update you all on the progress of the new constructions in Ridgeview Valley.  The home located on lot 104 and owned by Mary Bruch is being built by Gosnell, Inc.  This home has recently been listed on the market for sale.  It is approx. 1800 sq.ft. on a crawl space.  This home called The Farmer's Dream is one of Gosnell's signature designs for Ridgeview Valley.  Ridgeview has 2 preferred builders that you can use or you can choose your own builder.  Gosnell, one of the 2, has prepared 3 different floor plans with a farmhouse charm that fits perfectly into our community. The model home is one of the designs called the Milk Maid's Reast.  This home as I said earlier is called the Farmer's Dream and can have a garage added.  The home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, a gas fireplace in the great room and beautiful decks.  Enjoy the photos.

I was unable to take a picture of the third bedroom or the upstairs bath, both had construction material in them.  Hopefully next time.  I am amazed as to the speed of the construction on this house and the one next door.  Both are gorgeous homes!
