For those of you who regret not buying into one of the new Steamboat Springs developments near the base of the ski mountain at pre-construction pricing, you’re in luck. Wildhorse Meadows, which sold 70% of the units at Trailhead Lodge at its selection event in the summer of 2007, has temporarily reduced several of its units back to those original prices. Trailhead Lodge, an integral part of the residential resort community developed by Resort Ventures West, and scheduled for completion this summer, will have 86 fully-furnished suites and will be just steps away from the future gondola, which will transport residents to the base of the ski area. Â
The lodge itself will have many amenities -several pools, (including the Grotto Spa, a lap pool, adult and kids pools), many outdoor socializing areas with gas firepits, as well as an outdoor barbecue. In addition to the Wildhorse Gondola, the master planned community will have other distinctive amenities such as a country store, post office,the Ranch House and Wildhorse Athletic Club. Owners will also be able to take advantage of the numerous walking and biking trails throughout the 47- acre community.Â
Current prices range from $940,000 to $2,325,000 for 1 bed +den, 2bed, 2bed+den, 3bed and 3bed+den units.Â
Please call us today to set up a showing to see the model and to get additional information about Trailhead Lodge.
Winter has returned to the northwest Colorado Rockies today with dark and snowy skies. This turnaround from the warm and sometimes rainy weather we’ve had the past week should make the 8,400 + skiers coming in on Saturday to the Yampa Valley Regional Airport happy. That will be a record number of en/deplanements to the airport since it opened in the 1960’s.
When you do good business, word gets around. And that statement is no more evident than what happened today, as our efforts at Buyer’s Resource have been recognized by a national newspaper, The New York Times!
An article published today regarding the luxury real estate market included quotes from myself along with one of my clients, Sutton Hamlin. If you would like to read the article, here is the link:
The luxury Steamboat condominium property Sutton purchased into is Christie Club. Christie Club owners enjoy one of the best ski-in, ski-out locations in Steamboat. Combine that location with excellent guest services and amenities, and you can see why Ms. Hamlin is very pleased with her purchase.
Incidentally, Christie Club just happens to have one of the best deals right now for a slopeside luxury condo. It is a two bedroom, two bath, professionally decorated residence consisting of over 1600 square feet and overlooks the Steamboat Ski Area. Christie Club has a year-round shuttle and picks owners up at the Hayden and Steamboat airports, as well as a shuttle to town, the grocery stores, or anywhere else an owner or guest has a hankering to explore. Owners also enjoy a Members’ lounge, ski storage, heated outdoor pool and spa, concierge, valet parking, and world-class service. When purchasing a Christie Club condo, owners also have membership to The Registry Club, a vacation home exchange network with other luxury residences around the world. And when you’re not here being pampered, you can benefit from the excellent rental income a premier slopeside residence provides.
This Steamboat condo is listed at only $1,075,000, or $665 per square foot. This is an excellent buy. Other slopeside condominiums average $893 per square foot, and most of those listed are much older than Christie Club, which was built in 2002.
If you are interested in receiving a “Cash Flow Analysis” of this property to see how affordable it can be, as well as additional information on why we feel this property is such a great deal, please let us know. It financially outperforms all other properties in our analysis, and all of the owners that we have assisted in purchasing in this property have been extremely pleased with their decision.
