Autumn Ridge at a Glance
Autumn Ridge is a 55+ active-living, bare-land strata on about 6 acres of park-like land in the heart of Shuswap Lake Estates, Blind Bay. It sits on Golf Course Drive, directly across the road from the 18-hole Shuswap Lake Golf Course at Blind Bay.
But this isn't a project still finding its feet. It's a built, lived-in neighbourhood with just a handful of lots left. That's it.

Choose Your Lot, Choose Your Builder
Autumn Ridge was designed for people looking at early retirement living who still want a say in what they build. You pick the lot, you pick the builder, and you pick one of the home plans. You can customize the interior layout, but the exterior needs to match one of the five approved plans. Every new build still goes through our building approval process, the same guidelines that cover the rest of the community. So Autumn Ridge keeps its streetscape consistent as it fills in.
Day-to-day upkeep of the front yards is handled through the bare-land strata rather than falling on each homeowner, and that includes snow removal of each driveway and the strata roadways. The strata fee is roughly $100 a month. That's the trade a lot of downsizers are looking for: a smaller footprint to maintain and less of the outside work that comes with a bigger property, without giving up a freestanding home.
