Lahari Ridge

Lahari Ridge is OPAL’s first neighborhood in the village of Deer Harbor. It was initiated by a generous offer from Lahari Hospice and Respite Care, which sold lots to OPAL at below market rates. (“Lahari” means “atmosphere of bliss” in the Hindi language.)

The small, cabin-like homes – with studio, one-bedroom or two-bedroom floor plans – have filtered views of Turtleback Mountain or the Cayou Lagoon. The project was recognized for its “green building” attributes by the Housing Assistance/Home Depot Green Building Fund.

 

“This home is a blessing beyond my wildest imagination. It means I don’t have to wonder if my landlord will decide to sell …  if a realtor will walk through with a prospective purchaser. I am able to set up my sewing machine on my dining room table and not put it away until I’m done – if I want to. I get to decide.”
