THE NATURAL CHARMS OF 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.

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, this ‘nature at its heart’ community has been sustainably built amongst hundreds of acres of historic heathland, woodland and lakes – with landscape preservation at the forefront of the estate.

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 belonging, yet with boundless opportunities to explore the natural world.

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

The site is 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 pamper time, Silverlake’s relaxing Hurricane Spa lies in wait.

“Bringing architecture, ecology and people together in a managed community was our primary goal,” explains owner Red Paxton, “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.”
