Victory Ranch a Newer Golf Community near Park City Utah

Friday, September 21st, 2007

victory-ranch.jpg

Victory Ranch is a great new golf community a short 20 minute drive from Park City Utah in the rural community of Francis.  A river truely runs through it.  About 5 miles of the Provo River which is known as a blue ribbon fly fishing river runs through this great new golf community.  If you would enjoy great views, fly fishing and open space in a gated golf community, then you may want to check out Victory Ranch. 

I recently visited Victory Ranch and was impressed with the size of the lots and the views compared to other local golf communities.  The lots seemed larger for the same price that I’ve seen at other golf communities that are more developed.  They seemed to average in size at nearly 2 acres.  Most other private golf communities in the area average closer to 1 acre.  Victory ranch is dedicating about 3200 acres to open space of its 5600 acres which seems like a large portion.  Lot prices start in the low $400,000’s.

The golf course at Victory Ranch will be a Rees Jones designed golf course and is currently under construction.   Also under construction is their River Cabin which sits on the Provo River with some amazing views.

New Golf Community in the Park City Utah area

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

I just recently toured Talisman which is a brand new golf community that has released lots for sale.  It’s a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor.  This new gated community is about 20 minutes from Park City and will offer its owners a ski lodge at Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain Resort besides its own little ski resort on site.  The location of this new golf community offers some amazing views of Deer Valley resort and Mt. Timpanogas.  Lot prices start in the $400,000s and average around 1 acre in size.  The golf course will be a Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed golf course which may be playable as early as 2009.  The setting and views are pristine.  You feel very remote and secluded on this property. 

You can typically get better lot selections and prices getting in early on a project.  So if you are not in a hurry to build or looking for a long term investment then this may be a great opportunity for you to consider.

Contact Julie Olsen an Accredited Buyer Representative at 435-513-2848 for more information. She can help you locate the perfect property in the Park City area that best fits your needs.  She also offers a buyer rebate program to her clients which can save them thousands on closing costs.  Let her set up a tour for you and send you an information packet.  You may also email her at julie@bestskiproperty.com or visit her Park City Utah Real Estate website.

This new development is on a private drive that is tucked between two rolling fairways and just below the ski slopes at the Canyons Resort in the winter.  The neighborhood is a short walk to the proposed gondola.  The townhomes will offer a rustic mountain lodge feel with dramatic timber beams and breathtaking views from the east to bring in the morning sun.

Villas will range from 1820 square feet to 2140 square feet with 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms depending on the floor plan.  Pricing is in the $600’s per square foot and can be purchased with or without a furniture package.  The first release reservations are due December 21st.  First release opportunities offer the best pricing.

Reservations will require a refundable $10,000 deposit.  After the reservations goes to a real estate purchase contract and you have reviewed sellers disclosurs the remaining 10% deposit is then due.  The rest is paid when the villa is completed.

High End Resort Spa Planned for a New Condo Project at the Canyons Resort in Park City

Monday, October 16th, 2006

 

     istock_000000881956small.jpg

The other day, I had a conversation with one of the listing agents for the new Dakota Mountain Lodge Condohotel project at The Canyons Resort area in Park City Utah.  He informed me that the Golden Door Spa will be going into the Dakota Mountain Lodge.  There will also be a nice higher end restaurant which is yet to be determined.  The announcement for the Red Door Spa hasn’t gone public yet but I thought it would be a great heads up for my Park City Real Estate blog readers. 

There will be another release of reservations for this great condohotel development  some time in Novemeber.   So contact me soon if this development might interest you so I can help you get a reservation on this great pre-construction project that offers a lot of promise.

Also, the litigation involving the proposed Canyons Resort golf course may have been resolved so construction on the golf course should start in the Spring of 2007.  It will take about two years to complete once construction starts. The Dakota Mountain Lodge will be adjacent to portions of the golf course as well as the up and coming Frostwood Lift.  The Dakota Lodge will provide ski valet services to the lift for guests and owners. 

The Dakota Mountain Lodge will be a great four seasons destination in the future with a fantastic resort spa, golfing, biking, hiking and world class skiing.  The first released units where running around $600/square foot and this next release should be slightly higher due to the Red Door Spa agreement that will be in place with this next release.  Currently the Park City Hotel condos are running around $1000/square foot and the Dakota Mountain Lodge in the future should rival the Park City Hotel with all the amenities it will have.  Now is the time to buy in the early phases for such a promising property investment.  It will require only a 10% deposit till the project is completed.

Contact me today so that we can get the paperwork ready for the next release of units.  With each new release the price will go up so don’t wait and call me today at 435-513-2848.

Great Things Planned for the Canyons Resort Area in Park City Utah

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

 

       gs_evening_courtyard.jpg

I just met with the Canyons Resort Village Management Association Director the other day.  She over sees the Canyons SPA (Specially Planned Area).  There is a lot planned for in the area and they are just in the beginning stages for this up and coming four seasons village community surrounding the Canyons Resort both at the base and up on the ski hill.  Only 10% of the planned area is currently developed so it is a good time to buy in at the Canyons Village Area.  It will eventually rival ski resort villages such as Vail Village.  But the biggest advantage it will have over other ski resort villages is the easy access from an Internation Airport which is only a 30 minute drive away.  The clients I speak to say that is the #1 reason they enjoy coming out here besides the great ski terrain, weather & snow conditions.  Time is valuable and there are over 100 non-stop flight destinations from Salt Lake International Airport.  My client on the East Coast can take the morning flight in and be on the slopes that afternoon skiing. 

Now is the time to buy in the early stages to get the best pricing and the best potential for appreciation.  Contact me today so I can help you find a home or condo in the Canyons area that might fit your needs.  Feel free to also search on my website for Canyons listings on the Park City MLS at BestSkiProperty.com.  Be aware that many of the new pre-construction projects do not show up on the MLS so contact me so I can fill you in on the pre-construction projects happening at the Canyons.  At the Canyons, there are homes, condos, townhomes & condohotel opportunities as well as ski in ski out properties and luxury homes.

Hideout Canyon a Gated Golf Community in Park City Utah offers Spectacular Views

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

 lr_cassidy.jpg                hideout3.jpg

I went on a tour yesterday to see the Hideout Canyon Project in Park City Utah.  The project offers some of the most spectacular views you can find any where in a golf community.  It provides both water views of the Jordanelle Reservoir and spectacular mountain views of Deer Valley Resort and of Mount Timpanogos.  It is early in developement so it is a great time to consider buying in this project.  They are offering luxury townhomes,  luxury retreats and custom home sites.  The golf course planned for the development will be a semi-private golf course which will help save on dues and membership fees.  Many of the other golf communities in the Park City area are private golf course communities requiring membership fees and monthly dues.
