| Windstone, inspired by the location, the
setting… and a tree.
The commissioned artwork for the logo
of Windstone, is a Japanese maple. The story behind the
logo illustrates the philosophy that led to the creation
of Windstone.
 A
Japanese maple, a specimen of impressive size and symmetry,
stood near the community entrance.
Over 80 years old, and possessing a rare,
sublime natural beauty, the maple, had to be moved... or
destroyed.
The majesty and beauty of this “heritage”
tree made the decision easy. The tree would be saved.
Arborists were consulted. The area’s
foremost experts at tree relocation were hired.
With loving care, the Japanese maple was
removed, the root ball wrapped for protection. The tree
was hoisted by crane onto a flatbed and secured for the
move.
A semi-truck couldn’t pull the load.
Heavy machinery had to be used to pull
the semi, the flat-bed and the tree, up the hill.
The maple was carefully hoisted into place,
the transplant complete.
Thanks to the care and expertise of those
involved, and of course Mother Nature, the tree is flourishing
and now serves as the centerpiece in the one-of-a-kind,
community park.
In addition to the Japanese maple, over
a dozen mature trees were relocated from their original
locations on the property and carefully placed throughout
the neighborhood to enhance the setting. Wetlands and sensitive
areas were protected, providing open space and buffers.
This vision and commitment to beauty,
character and quality is evident throughout Windstone.
A striking Bluestone entry monument welcomes
and impresses.
A one of a kind community park crowns
the hillside, its expanse of manicured lawn & picnic
areas, enormous Cascade Granite boulders, lush plantings
and a soothing botanical waterfall accenting the Japanese
maple, beckons homeowners to pause, relax and enjoy the
serenity that exemplifies life at Windstone.
The lifestyle at Windstone, like the collection
of builders and architectural design, is diverse –
hike the Cougar Mountain trail or the mall at Bellevue
Square. Relax in the community park or golf at nearby
Golf
Club at Newcastle. Ski on Lake
Washington, Lake
Sammamish or the slopes of Snoqualmie
Pass, or simply relax at home.
The recreation and entertainment opportunities
are unlimited. The neighborhood’s location, setting
and new home builder’s, unsurpassed.
Windstone.
Location. Setting. Luxury Homes.
