Property Development World

Well, we felt that it was about time our inimitably good taste in terms of selecting the most sumptuous, exciting and down right gorgeous property developments was recognized – and thankfully someone else agreed with us…this is why we’re able to present for you today a property development that pretty much no one else knows about!

Ha!  We’re getting exclusives for you now our dear readers because we care, and also because we know that you’re like us and you want to buy in at the beginning and stake your claim on the world’s best property projects.  Okay, so, today we have select and sophisticated Lake Tahoe resort condominiums in a location that’s so hot there’s actually steam coming off it (we made that bit up.)

In case you didn’t know there are millions and millions of public and private dollars being pumped into the total redevelopment of South Lake Tahoe on the California/Nevada border in the United States at the moment.  The entire region is being turned into a select and sophisticated tourism resort and so there are some exciting developments afoot. 

Basically this part of the world is geographically and environmentally blessed – there are breathtaking mountain peaks offering some of the best skiing in North America, there’s the gorgeous Lake Tahoe which has beaches and crystal clear waters, there are hiking and biking trails and what’s more, the weather and natural delights mean that this is an area for all seasons and as a result, some wise spark had the idea to create an incredibly exciting property development here!

The development we’re focusing on is called The Chateau and it’s located in Heavenly Village (what a cool name) – this property development is not just about the condominiums for sale though – this development is about what the entire project is bringing to the Lake Tahoe region and in particular to Heavenly Village.

The development of select and sophisticated Lake Tahoe resort condominiums will see the construction of hotel style condominium type suites which are for sale freehold and which will allow the owner to own their very own five star holiday home in an incredibly stunning and exciting location.  These properties can be enjoyed by the owner who can call room service whenever he wants or they can be let out by the owner who can reap all the hotel type profitable returns!  Neat!

And in addition to the condominiums for sale at The Chateau, the entire mega development will see the construction and addition of everything from a massive convention centre, pre-function areas which can be used for festivals and fairs, exhibitions and less formal gatherings, a HUGE two storey spa with an outdoor pool, lots of great shops, plenty of restaurants, a landscaped park, pedestrian walkways to the nearby beaches, direct access to the ski gondolas for fast slope access, direct access to the nearby gaming centres for casino lovers and there will even be a waterfall, firepits, a pond and unique statues and sculptures dotted all over the place to make The Chateau a fantastically cohesive and congruent, charming and exclusive destination.

The properties for sale are designed on the five star, exclusive hotel suite theme – so think amazing bathrooms with tones of granite, huge picture windows, lush carpeting, plenty of space and all the delights that come with staying in a five star hotel such as a concierge, room service, maid service and so on – but you actually get to OWN this hotel suite!

This is a fantastic development and well worth a closer look…so visit The Chateau at Heavenly Village’s website and sign up for more information.

Well, well, well, we’ve managed to surprise even ourselves at PDW today with a find of a lifetime in the form of Montesoro - a unique desert wellness community near San Diego which is set deep within the incredibly breathtaking Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. 

This property development in America is unlike anything you will have seen, read about, lusted after or even imagined in your wildest of real estate fuelled dreams - and I defy you to be anything other than blown away when you read about this place! 

Imagine if you will - a stunning lifestyle community of luxurious estates which you can buy into freehold and enjoy year round with friends and family as your neighbours.  Imagine the finest of fixtures and fittings adorning your mansion which is set within your own expansive landscaped and private grounds.  Now imagine living within a purpose built resort and having full access to the likes of a signature golf course, an exclusive and exotic spa, kids clubs, wilderness trails, swimming pools, restaurants, shops and the best of the great outdoors.

Now imagine turning up the experience quite considerably with the addition of the finest chefs in the world within the restaurants available at Montesoro, imagine having a celebrated golf pro on hand to help you improve your game - and what about having legendary environmental and nature specialists on hand to guide you through the stunning Anza-Borrego Desert State Park so that you can learn about it, enjoy it, experience it and truly get to know and love your new home surroundings in your heart and in your soul?

Impressed?  Ah ha, we thought you might be – but just wait a second, there’s actually more! 

Now add in the fact that this unique desert wellness community near San Diego isn’t just home to any old exotic spa as previously mentioned – oh no, Montesoro is a full on fitness and medical community extraordinaire.  On hand are leading specialists, scientists and leaders in the fields of sports and medicine who will work with every member of the community to tailor make a fitness schedule, to get the most out of even the fittest and most actively able resident. 

The Montesoro Performance Training Complex enhances the treatments and services available at the expansive onsite spa with individually designed programs and innovative techniques that assist each individual achieve their fitness goals and enhanced their sport-specific performances.

And if all that doesn’t impress you sufficiently what about the fact there’s a full on artist’s studio at Montesoro, at Outfitters Post where you can find everything from a personal guide to take you camping and star gazing within the Desert State Park to a professional who will kit you out and train you to rock climb?  There’s also El Corazon which is a village within the community, home to restaurants, shops, an art gallery, boutiques as well as fountains and lush landscaping.

Oh yeah, and then there are the properties themselves…well, needless to say they are impressive and draw on the Spanish influences of architecture that saw the California of many years ago develop and grow into one of the most beautiful parts of America.

I think it’s time we led you in the direction of the Montesoro website – but be prepared for a slightly frustrating experience, the site is quite slow and cumbersome and bounces about all over the place - so be patient with it, it really is worth it.

An amazing property development project in Colorado has been conceived by S & P Destination Properties – this development will be perfect for those who love activity and exploration and the development, called Granby Ranch, is being marketed as the ‘Official Headquarters of the Great Outdoors’ - giving you just enough insight into the driving concept behind this project!

Granby Ranch properties in Colorado for ski and golf enthusiasts will be spread across various different home sites within the master planned development community which will also include a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course as well the already well established SolVista Basin - home to many skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. 

Covering over 5,000 acres of totally unspoiled land, this Colorado property development will carefully integrate homes around the natural beauty of the land with each home site available offering inimitable views across the SolVista Basin or the Headwaters Golf Course for example, or over to the Rocky Mountain National Park, Fraser Canyon, the Fraser River or the Continental Divide.

You can select your personal home site within a choice of six different communities, each community then has certain guidelines about the type of custom home you can construct therein.  For example, Saddle Ridge is a spacious community with large plots of land available for those wishing to construct an impressive single family detached residence, Trailside is a ski in, ski out community of lodges and chalets and Prospect Ridge might make the perfect location for anyone wishing to build their own family log cabin for vacationing in at any time of the year.

As stated these ranch properties in Colorado are perfect for golfers and skiers – but they are also suitable for anyone who enjoys large open spaces choc full of abundant wildlife as well as attractive flora and fauna.  You can fish, walk, hike, mountain bike, horse ride and explore the great country around your home within the 5,000 acre Granby Ranch community.  And when you’ve finished exploring you can kick back at your home or wander over to one of the community’s clubhouses where you can meet your friends and neighbours, enjoy a meal, a coffee or beer and put the world to rights!

This is a one of a kind development – it’s special, stunning and a truly great chance to own a large swathe of land and a part share in an even greater community in one of the most beautiful states in America.  Click here to go to the Granby Ranch website to check out the plots of land available as well as the types of property you can have constructed to meet your ‘dream home’ criteria.

Alabama is one of the Southern states of America and it’s home to mountains, rivers, plains, national parks and lakes including beautiful Smith Lake, manmade back in 1950 and now a natural reserve as well as a weekend and summer holiday destination for affluent Americans from right across the US.

Bordering Bankhead National Forest and with hundreds of miles of coastline in three north Alabama counties, Smith Lake is a really picturesque setting for a brand new superior gated lake community in Alabama called Boardwalk on Smith Lake.  Boardwalk is located on prime lakefront land and within easy reach of the towns of Jasper and Arley.

This planned residential community is just beginning to take shape and it’s being developed in three phases with the very first fifty units having just been released to the market completely off plan.  Now’s the time investors are buying in and now’s the time you’ll want to make your move if you want the best plots overlooking the lake, the Clubhouse, the swimming pools and the stunning shoreline views.

Boardwalk on Smith Lake is a private, secluded and gated community.  Residents of Boardwalk as well as those with weekend and holiday homes on site will be afforded the best security and concierge type services 24/7 and they will be residing within a resort style neighbourhood which has direct access to the beautiful lake shore.

From your home at Boardwalk just imagine sitting out on your deck at sunset and watching the evening sky change from shades of orange to red to purple, imagine sipping an evening cocktail on your veranda whilst listening to the crickets and birdsong or imagine walking barefoot along the shore with the calm waters of Smith Lake lapping gently against the moorings and boat slips of Boardwalk.

Because of its setting, Boardwalk on Smith Lake will have a strong sailing focus and all residents can enjoy their own moorings or they can hire out sailing boats and dinghies for a days fun on the water.  Also available at Boardwalk will be the Clubhouse - home to all community social events for example – an Olympic sized swimming pool, gardens, hiking trails, lake lookout points and fishing and picnic areas.

The slightly lesser known resort of Mammoth Lakes in California has been rediscovered very recently and as a result its property prices are going through the roof!  The town is a four seasons holiday destination which is becoming increasingly popular with those seeking accessible vacation property as both an investment and a practical asset that they and their entire family can enjoy.

This new development that we’re showcasing of deluxe Californian vacation homes in Mammoth Lakes in America is likely to be one that sells out fast – it’s called Tanavista and its residential units are coming to the market with quarter ownership options available.

Quarter ownership is just like fractional ownership; basically you simply pay the price for a property based on a more realistic consideration of the amount of time that you will get physical use from the property…in this case for three months of the year.  Quarters start from around USD 200,000 at Tanavista depending on the property you favour.

There are a variety of home options available from simple but stylish and extremely comfortable one bedroom homes, right up to lavish and opulent three bedroom homes from which you can entertain, with which you can impress and in which you can relax and really enjoy life.

The Mammoth Lakes area is a fantastic part of California – it offers everything from golfing to skiing, fine wining and dining to hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, horse riding, rock climbing, rafting and sailing.  And if all that sounds a little too energetic for you then you don’t actually have to venture much further than your front door at Tanavista to have a great time!  The resort fronts onto the Sierra Star Golf Course, it is within close proximity to fantastic shops and restaurants, it is home to a fitness suite, a games room, an owners’ lounge and bar and a huge and luxurious hot tub!

If Tanavista, Mammoth Lakes and quarter ownership vacation home options sound interesting to you then we suggest you visit http://www.tanavista.com/ to find out more about these affordable, fantastic and deluxe Californian vacation homes in America.

The town of Celebration in Florida is the realisation of a dream of the Walt Disney Company to create a quaint and community spirited town built from the ground up within close proximity of Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World and Orlando International Airport - and the Mirasol community in Celebration, Florida provides you with one of the very last chances to buy into this unique community.

Mirasol is a five star, large and exclusive residential and spa resort within Celebration which has won countless awards, much praise and huge interest from home seekers and property investors alike…because the land that Celebration occupies is restricted by the strict planning rules of the town, Mirasol represents one of the very last chances for buyers to be a part of this inimitable town.

Celebration itself is a community built on five core foundations namely education, health, technology, social place and community; as a result the town is an incredible place to live with excellent schools, healthcare facilities, shopping and entertainment opportunities and it is also one of the most in demand locations with those coming on holiday to Florida seeking to take advantage of the Walt Disney World attractions. 

Celebration is clean, it’s safe, it’s attractive and above all else, it’s a community that hasn’t experienced a slow down in property price appreciation nor demand for property to buy or rent despite a slowdown in the American real estate economy!

Currently there’s a great chance to buy into this community especially for overseas buyers – the dollar is weak against currencies such as the pound and euro and what’s more, the Mirasol spa and residential resort is offering a number of special deals for those who commit to the project at this stage.

Homes available for sale range from one to three bed properties and each comes with an excellent array of features such as ten foot high ceilings, spa bathrooms, master chef kitchens and the latest in in-home technology.  And these homes are within a resort that offers the resident or their visitors access to swimming pools, a day spa, fitness suite, personal trainers, conference centre, tennis courts etc., etc.

Celebration is an inimitable, unique, truly one of a kind town and the Mirasol community in Celebration, Florida is quickly becoming the must have address within this incredible town.  Whether you’re looking for a great new place to live or you want an incredible investment opportunity check out http://www.mirasolatcelebration.com/

A new and exclusive development of luxury homes is well under construction in Northern Arizona close to the community of Prescott – the development is called Taking Rock Ranch and it will offer residents country club and golf course homes in Arizona which benefit from a quiet and beautiful rural setting with the best of both worlds achieved because of the fantastic direct transport links to the local amenities and facilities of the nearby large town.

The range of homes and home sites at Talking Rock Ranch is impressive – for sale are individual Ranch Cottages which are being sold off plan already for example.  Alternatively a family could decide to select a home site with views of the golf course, the valley or the surrounding peaks and have a custom home built.  And what’s more, the Talking Rock Ranch architectural team even have a range of bespoke designed homes that a family can choose to have built on a plot of their choice if they prefer a custom home in about half the time it would take to design one from scratch!

The entire Talking Rock Ranch site covers over 3,400 acres in one of the most unspoilt and stunning parts of Arizona and it will feature a whole host of facilities and amenities for the greater ranch community that is slowly but surely beginning to spring up as the first homes come to completion. 

On site at Talking Rock as well as the meandering golf course there will be the Ranch Compound which is the country club and central meeting point for friends, family and community members.  The Ranch Compound will house everything from bars, cafes, coffee shops and restaurants to fitness facilities and an athletics club.

As well as indoor dining areas there will be open air dining within the Ranch community, there will be lap and wading pools, a communal fire pit, golf shop, spa treatment rooms, yoga studio, gym, post office, coffee barn and extensive hiking, biking and jogging trails.

This is a really good development – it is well priced, well located, well designed and well….we like it because of factors such as the fact that the climate in this part of America is pretty near perfect, there are homes available for sale at Talking Rock that are ready to move into, buyers alternatively have the choice of designing their own home, onsite is every conceivable facility and amenity a luxury, bespoke community needs and if all that isn’t enough to persuade you to buy, the nearest town of Prescott is attractive, friendly, welcoming and houses everything from schools to art galleries, an acute care hospital and medical centre as well as various churches and it even has employment prospects!

Here’s the property development’s website - http://www.talkingrockranch.com/ as you can see it is far better designed than many that we have featured and that’s another point in this development’s favour – it is well thought out and put together on every single level from the initial website to the ultimate layout of the greater Talking Rock Ranch community.
