Modern Farm Homes in Sooke A
ragon’s vision for farmland in Sooke takes inspiration from the location’s history as a working farm. With Wadams Farm, Aragon set out to embody the future of Sooke—a vision that celebrates all that drew people there in the first place. These new 3 & 4 bedroom homes are modern farmhouses built to cultivate community. Livable homes where families can grow, with paths and public spaces that encourage people to get outside and get together. Like the farm that came before it, Wadams Farm will be part of Sooke for generations to come. Surrounded by walkable streetscapes and lush new parks, this collection single-family houses and rental townhomes is designed to foster connections, both to nature and to one-another. Wadams Farm is an invitation to set down roots. Single-family houses on smaller lots give more families the opportunity to own a piece of land in a central location,
while rental townhomes increase both diversity and affordability. This mix fits with the municipality’s plans for urban-style growth rather than suburban sprawl. By mixing housing types, Aragon is preserving what makes Sooke special and is striving to meet the needs of its growing population. They are dedicated to designing quality spaces that feel personal so they carefully consider every decision from beginning to end. From inspired palettes to innovative materials to novel building techniques, Aragon creates homes with unparalleled interior design. The best homes enhance your life—even as your life changes. That’s why Aragon’s design solutions maximize both livabililty and flexibility. The open, adaptable layouts let rooms do double-duty, while built-in workspaces make it easy to set up a home office. Flex spaces and ground-floor bedrooms in select homes, as well as EV chargers in every garage
are some of the other ways they’re anticipating the shifts to come. Many developers shy away from building laneways because they require more real estate and more labour than driveways, but Aragon believes hidden laneways are a crucial tool in making neighbourhoods more walkable and more inviting. Tucking cars and garbage cans away out of sight and reserving the sidewalk for socializing with neighbours, makes for streets with a friendly, city-like feel. Wadams Farm offers a degree of walkability usually associated with urban neighborhoods, not communities of single-family homes. Located next to the library and steps from the core, residents will have access to Sooke’s shops and restaurants, as well as all the everyday necessities: schools, groceries, drugstores, banks and local health and community services.
