LIFE ENRICHMENT AT SILVERLAKE

Getting to grips with nature is great for mind, body and soul. Red Paxton, director of Habitat First Group, explains why their Silverlake development is the ultimate place to embrace the great outdoors

In order to live life to the fullest, good health is of paramount importance. One key factor in taking care of yourself is getting out into the fresh air.

Located in the stunning West Dorset countryside, Silverlake, by Habitat First Group, is the ultimate retreat for families craving a slice of the real British outdoors.

As is the ethos behind all of Habitat First Group’s developments, the community has been sustainably built amongst hundreds of acres of historic heathlands, woodland and lakes – with landscape preservation at the forefront of the project.

Brought to life by the Paxton family, their vision was to transform this former mineral site into a residential community with a strong sense of security, yet with boundless opportunities to explore the natural world.

Made up of freehold plots for 1000 holiday homes – which are all constructed to the highest standard and using only sustainable materials – Silverlake boasts a portfolio of quality facilities and endless activities to keep families entertained.

The site is a secure, managed environment, rich in nature and wildlife. Scenic lakes provide plenty of time for boating and fishing, while cyclists, runners and horseriders can take advantage of an extensive network of private footpaths, cycle routes and bridleways.

As for those wishing to switch off and enjoy some pampering, Silverlake’s relaxing Hurricane Spa lies in wait. So make the most of the great outdoors, with a holiday home in the wild beauty that is West Dorset.

“Bringing architecture, ecology and people together in a managed community was our primary goal,” explains owner Red Paxton, “but we’ve also prioritised the eco-credentials of the holiday homes and amenities on the estate. Built from local materials with innovative designs inspired by West Dorset’s character, the emphasis is very much on sustainability.”
