Are you based in the Bay Area and want to spend your winters somewhere in the snow? You are not alone. Representatives of a variety of luxury communities in snowy areas say the Bay Area residents have been taking root for some time.
“Bay Area buyer demand for Clear Creek Tahoe property is higher than ever,” said Georgia Chase, director of sales at Clear Creek Tahoe, a high-end community on the eastern slopes of the Carson Range, Nevada. “Buyers are looking for the lifestyle this unique, private mountain community offers. Referrals for new members accelerate demand as family, friends, and business colleagues eagerly share their experiences. “
At Pendry Residences Park City, Utah, the project recently reached a milestone of more than $ 200 million in total sales. There are currently fewer than 15 apartments available for purchase. In Tahoe, Clear Creek had a record year with 14 new homes and 99 locations with total sales of more than $ 116 million that were closed or on deposit.
Clear Creek Tahoe is located between Lake Tahoe and the Carson Valley, approximately 20 minutes from Incline Village and South Lake Tahoe. In the community is the coveted Twin Pines Lake & Ski House, a historic and lovingly preserved 1936 home designed by Julia Morgan.
A special residence in Clear Creek Tahoe is generating a lot of interest. The modern four bedroom, three and a half bathroom mountain on 201 Redding Way has breathtaking views through the window walls. Designed by architect Ryan Marsden and due for completion in March, the home has an open floor plan and an owner’s suite on the main level. The 4,442 square foot listing includes a variety of outdoor meeting rooms and overlooks the eleventh hole of the Clear Creek Golf Course.
Meanwhile, Pendry Park City is a ski-in and ski-out resort and gated community due to open later this year in the heart of Canyons Village at the base of Park City Mountain. Pendry Park City was designed by SB Architects in San Francisco and offers a collection of fully furnished residences, from studios to penthouses. Upon opening, guests and residents will have access to the first pool and rooftop bar in the area, a Japanese-American restaurant, a family-friendly lounge, and an upscale spa with eight treatment rooms.
“We were very pleased to receive a constant number of inquiries from the Bay Area. In particular, I remember three separate Bay Area buyers who bought our larger three-bedroom residences when they were looking for a year-round alpine retreat to entertain family and friends, “said Tina Necrason, executive vice president of residential real estate at Montage International.
Maintaining a home in a cold climate can be a challenge. Fortunately, with Montage International (Montage Residences and Pendry Residences) homeowners enjoy a personalized suite of residential building services and dedicated staff. There’s also asset conservation, property management, and the flexibility of optional rental management programs offered by Montage and Pendry staff.
Ownership extends beyond the home through a range of benefits and services, from travel excursions and special occasion planning to other bespoke offerings for effortless vacation home living. The residences are located in the resort’s buildings, making the grounds resemble a traditional luxury hotel.
Of course, not everyone wants their second home in a resort community. For those looking for a secluded mountain vacation, the National Association of Homebuilders has some suggestions for maintaining your residence during the coldest months of the year.
The NAHB suggests hiring a qualified roofer to inspect your roof every three years. At this point, the skylights should also be checked so that there are no leaks from cracks and tears around the seals, caulking, and lightning.
And what would a winter vacation be without a crackling fire in the fireplace? The NAHB recommends having your chimney and fireplace checked by a certified chimney sweep every year, especially if you make a lot of fires in winter.
