You Can Build a Luxury Home Anywhere. But There’s Only One Creighton Farms.

In Luxury’s Lap at the Water’s Edge: The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Inner Harbor, Baltimore

In the roLLIng horse country of northern

Virginia, just 20 minutes from Tysons Corner

and Dulles International Airport and a mere

55 minutes from downtown Washington, an

unparalleled new luxury club community

is taking shape. One where magnificent

custom homes and villas are endowed with

acres of pastoral land. And where an award-

winning Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course

is at the heart of a private club that’s setting

new standards for service and excellence.

Life at Creighton Farms is all about choices

– and enjoying a lifestyle unlike any other.

Residents of this gated community can

choose from a variety of luxury home designs

and neighborhoods – from stunning, low-

maintenance Villas in the Nicklaus Village

area that are perfect for couples or empty-

nesters, to the grand Legacy Homes where

active families can enjoy all the best that life

has to offer. The picture-perfect, French-

inspired homes in The Enclave are another

option, as are the stately Manor Homes –

Creighton Farms’ most affordable residential

opportunity. Many lots offer stunning golf

course views, while others provide vistas

of the mountains, meadows and woods.

No matter which you choose, you’ll enjoy

every aspect of living in Greater Washington’s

most extraordinary club community. The

Club at Creighton Farms offers its members

a wealth of planned amenities and activities,

including a 34,000-square-foot Clubhouse

which will open this fall and house many of

the member-focused facilities and programs.

It’s hard to ImagIne a more spectacuLar

place to live. From its stunning waterfront

location at the edge of Baltimore’s Inner

Harbor to its stellar array of amenities and

services to its magnificent condominium

homes, The Ritz-Carlton Residences

offer everything a city lover with posh

tastes could want. At the foot of Federal

Hill’s shady charm, The Residences

provide an ideal blend of neighborhood

character and downtown convenience,

with many of Baltimore’s premiere

members wILL have access to:

18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature •

Golf Course

Practice range with target greens, •

34,000-square-foot Clubhouse•

Sports and Recreation Center with •

spa and fitness areas

Outdoor resort-style swimming pool•
