			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The BC Children&#8217;s Hospital Dream Lottery gorgeous country estate Grand Prize option is located within <a href="http://www.highpointestates.ca/">High Point Equestrian Estates</a> in South West Langley, very close to the border on 1st Ave. and 200th St.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/HighPoint.png"><img src="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/HighPoint-205x300.png" alt="High Point Equestrian Estates" title="HighPoint" width="205" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-124" /></a></p>
<p>This is an equestrian development. The community consists of small acreages and deluxe homes all created for horse lovers. The development is right next door to Campbell Valley Park, and a network of horse-friendly trails wind throughout the community to the park, with it&#8217;s horse trails.</p>
<p>The site is situated on a hill and gives lovely views of the North Shore mountains and the surrounding countryside. As you drive up, it&#8217;s clear that this is a master planned community with plenty of space and privacy. </p>
<p><a href="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/HG1.png"><img src="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/HG1-150x150.png" alt="High Point Estates" title="HG1" width="150" height="150" class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-125" /></a><a href="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/HG2.png"><img src="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/HG2-150x150.png" alt="High Point Estates" title="HG2" width="150" height="150" class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-126" /></a><a href="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/HG3.png"><img src="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/HG3-150x150.png" alt="High Point Estates" title="HG3" width="150" height="150" class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-127" /></a></p>
<p>We arrived on a sunny Sunday during the pre-launch for a tour&#8230; I didn&#8217;t think it would be busy but as we drove up, I was obviously mistaken. The place was packed!<br />
<a href="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DreamExt070210-061.jpg"><img src="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DreamExt070210-061-150x150.jpg" alt="Front" title="Front of the Grand Prize Home" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-46" /></a><br />
The home itself is spectacular&#8230; in location, size, design and furnishings. It has a .6 acre fully landscaped lot and a 3 car garage, handy since you can choose to take a new Audi A5 with the home! </p>
<p>The outside is built with lots of columns, stone accents and steep intersecting roofs combined with rounded archways, windows, entrances and accents. To me, it is a striking mix of elements of Gothic Revival&#8217;s multiple steep roofs mixed with Cotswold Cottage stone, and rounded windows. Majestic yet welcoming.<br />
<a href="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Entry.png"><img src="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Entry-150x150.png" alt="Arched Entry" title="Entry" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-129" /></a><br />
There is a striking entryway into the home which has a large covered area to protect you from the weather. After the shoes off ritual (and noting which pair we would swap for on the way out&#8230;) we entered the rounded archway dominated entrance hall. It&#8217;s a wonderful frame to highlight the great room high ceiling, spiral staircase and huge view windows to come.<br />
<a href="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Dining.png"><img src="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Dining-150x150.png" alt="Dining Room" title="Dining" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-130" /></a><br />
To the right is the nicely sized (15&#215;10) and contemporary Dining area. It has another entry into the kitchen and lots of south facing, shaded windows.</p>
<p>To the left is the living/sitting room, with a fire place, lovely views, furnished with 4 lovely sitting chairs. The inset ceiling is a highlight.<br />
<a href="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/GreenSitting2A.jpg"><img src="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/GreenSitting2A-150x150.jpg" alt="Sitting Room" title="Sitting Room" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-63" /></a><br />
Through the entrance hall, I was spellbound by the amazing spiral staircase. It dominates the center of the house and is one of the more striking features I&#8217;ve seen. It&#8217;s an aggressive full 180 degree sweep, richly finished in dark wood with carpeted stairs. With the Super high post and beam ceiling of the Great Room as a backdrop, the spiral stairs is a signature area of this home.<br />
<a href="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Stairs-2A.jpg"><img src="http://blog.bcchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Stairs-2A-150x150.jpg" alt="Staircase" title="Beautiful Staircase" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-87" /></a></p>
<p>Winner will choose 1 Grand Prize option, other prize options will not be awarded</p>
