‘Little gem’ of a community makes most of natural beauty next to river

For [Kevin and Lorie Blayney], the interest in relocating to Riviera started after parking in front of the spec home they would eventually purchase, while visiting Kevin’s sister. 

They liked the exterior, and the list of the home’s features on a sandwich board outside the place impressed. A fun bonus was the home model’s name — Winston, a handle it shares with the couple’s bichon shih tzu. While Kevin admits the name caught their eye, “I don’t know if that has anything to do with it,” he says, laughing. 

When they toured the home, it made an impression from the get-go. “As soon we walked in, we instantly said, ‘This is a beautiful home,” says Kevin.
