Rock Hill Trails offers new green homes in Illinois that protect & preserve the environment

May 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Rock Hill Trails is a truly unique holistically designed Common Sense Quality Community™.  Nowhere else in the Midwest can you find a community that incorporates low impact site development practices combined with high-performance nationally-certified green homes all in a setting that fosters social interaction and sustainability.  Rock Hill Trails is the unprecedented leader in sustainability, and offers you a quality of life opportunity not available in any other community.

The forward thinkers at Wellspring Development Company saw an opportunity to apply common sense to improve traditional residential development practices that dramatically reduce the environmental impact, promote healthy lifestyles, and build stronger communities. This involves a holistic approach to the development process that defines success based on the long-term viability of the community and its resources.

Taking a common sense approach means thinking about things such as storm water management techniques that conserve and significantly immprove the quality of water that flows into our streams and rivers.

It means creating open space and amenities that all residents can enjoy and take pride in. It means building high quality homes that require minimal maintenance and provide a healthy and comfortable indoor environment.

It means you can be a member of a community for which future generations will thank you.

They currently have 11 beautiful  premium quality, high performance home plans to choose from including ranches, 2 stories, and cottage bungalows.  Current product offering ranges in price from $270,000 to $450,000.  Additional product is in development, and as always, green construction experts, Trumpet Builders, LLC will be happy to build the custom home of your dreams.  Renderings and floor plans are available as downloads on the High Performance Homes page of their website at http://richardr.stlgoldhomes.net/rockhilltrails

Rock Hill Trails is situated in the City of Wood River, Illinois, and the Edwardsville School District. The construction of Interstate 255 and the new County Highway 19 (S. Moreland Drive) connecting 143 with 140 makes the 170 acre site easily accessible from multiple directions.

Wood River and the surrounding areas are experiencing commercial and residential growth. This growth is driving the need for a variety of new quality housing alternatives.

The City of Edwardsville has historically grown to the south, but as traffic times increase on 157, a home on the north side of town is becoming more appealing. New highway access makes Rock Hill Trails attractive to residents working in Missouri, as travel times to Downtown St. Louis are now in the 20 to 30 minute range.

The northwestern edge of the property borders Wood River's Belk Park, which contains a popular public golf course and recreational facilities. The southern side of the site borders Rock Hill Road and Triangle H. Farms, a very community oriented equestrian facility providing training, boarding and rental of horses that can be ridden on their many miles of trails. You can live in Rock Hill Trails and walk to where your horse is boarded.
