The Estates

A private community, nestled on top of the ridge.

Oak Ridge Estates is a private community of more than 200 acres, set within a gorgeous Acadian forest landscape just off Highway 3 on Morton Drive — five minutes outside the historic town of Liverpool. A beautiful parkette anchors the community, and each homesite has been planned to preserve the peace and tranquillity of the ridge.

Here, the choice is yours: select the perfect placement for your custom home, design your own residence or have it built by one of our partner builders, and choose your own individualised landscape. The opportunities are endless.
