There has been many new additions happening at Schaffer’s Mill. If you haven’t heard of Schaffer’s Mill, this luxury community of 475 acres featuring 218 single family homes and 188 Mountain Lodges and Luxury Cabins. Home sites range from 1/4 acre to a generous 3/4 acre, Mountain Lodges range from 1972 sq. ft. to 2684 sq. ft. (3 and 4 bedrooms) and Luxury Cabins range in size from 2,500 to more than 3,000 square feet. Nearly 300 acres are dedicated to preserved open space, so the openness and feel of the mountains is always present. Nestled on the north side of Schaffer’s Mill Road, the quiet ambiance and pristine surroundings make this a special, luxury development indeed. But there has been some exciting new highlights this past year with many more coming in 2014. Here’s an overview of the comfortable and thoughtful amenities within this development, below!
Real Estate Sales are Brisk!
• Schaffer’s Mill has nearly sold out of their first 40 Mountain Lodges in Phase 1 (only 3 remaining) and have nearly sold out of their first 100 home-sites in Phase 1 & 2 (only 8 remaining)
• The long anticipated release of our Phase 3 home-sites (named Alpine Ridge), located on the back 9 of the golf course which was designed by John Harbottle and Johnny Miller will begin this summer. These home-sites are at the highest elevations on the golf course and boast expansive views of the mountain ranges. They are considerably larger and more private than our Phase 1 & 2 inventory. Click here for a map.
• In addition to the release of our Phase 3 home-sites, Schaffer’s Mill will be releasing Phase 2 Mountain Lodges. They have nicknamed this section the “ocean front property”…. These townhomes have unobstructed views of Northstar, overlook the Par 3, seventh golf hole, they are walking distance to the clubhouse and they are south-facing for all day sunlight. The floor plans are very generous in size (2,700-3,000 square feet) and the Schaffer’s Mill designers have picked out the newest “latest & greatest” upgrades and amenities.
Interest has been extremely high for both releases because these properties are considered some of the best inventory in all of Schaffer’s Mill. We expect the best properties in each section will be chosen quickly.
