A new, environmentally-minded community called The Ridge at Chukker
Creek is truly breaking new ground in
Aiken, South Carolina, offering green-built, high performance homes and estate homes, all set within a picturesque, equestrian country setting.
As community leaders in green building,
every home at The Ridge is
ENERGY STAR-qualified, meaning each complies with strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US EPA and the US Department of Energy. Homeowners enjoy lower utility bills, and the addition of sustainable products, such as low VOC paints and finishes ensure superior air quality and comfort in every home at The Ridge. Plus, the process is easy and convenient thanks to custom architectural plans that have been designed specifically for The Ridge and specially trained builders.

All homes are highly
energy efficient,
and for those who
want to see no
energy bills on an
annual basis, they
can take it a step
further with a Net
Zero Home. |

Net Zero homes at The Ridge generate all the energy they need from photovoltaic panels. Admirably, The Ridge is also the first community in the world to offer a Net Zero Home that will also be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell – thus a completely carbon neutral process. These revolutionary practices pay homage to the community’s picturesque country setting, which was designed to preserve open space, magnificent trees, and the waterfront, and lures residents outdoors to enjoy the gently rolling land and woods.

The focus of the Community Equestrian Center is a new 20-stall barn, with a well appointed lounge, tack room, grooming and wash stalls, pastures and arena. A full-time Stable Manager will oversee all activities, and the location will also serve as the base for the Stable Owners Association.

Over 60 acres have been set aside to create the Freeman Nature Preserve, and seven miles of walking paths are interwoven throughout the community – follow them to the planned hilltop Athletic Center, which will offer a fitness center, tennis courts and an indoor pool that is solar heated for year-round enjoyment. At the planned Community Garden homeowners can take advantage of the long growing season by gardening organically, and the Waterfront Meeting House is the perfect spot for a neighborly gathering or private celebration.
While you may never want to leave this
idyllic setting,
Aiken, South Carolina is widely known for its charm and welcoming atmosphere … and it’s love for all-things-equestrian, of course.
Locals love horse riding, running or simply meandering through Hitchcock Woods, a 2,100-acre preserve – the largest urban forest in America – in the middle of downtown, not far from cosmopolitan shops and restaurants. Cultural and continuing education opportunities abound through the University of South Carolina Aiken and water activities are at your fingertips on the Savannah River and the 71,000-acre Thurmond Lake.
