LAST TEN UNITS IN FIRST PHASE OF THUNDER MOUNTAIN LODGE AVAILABLE NOW AT KIRKWOOD
(Kirkwood Mountain Resort, Kirkwood, Calif.) Time is of the essence for those wanting to buy their dream vacation home in Kirkwood’s newest development, Thunder Mountain Lodge, before the inventory is gone and prices rise. The resort announced that it is now selling the last ten units in Phase I. Currently these residences start at $695,000. The next offering in Thunder Mountain Lodge will likely be in the fall of 2007.

“Of the 40 units in Phase I, 75 percent are under contract and the remaining inventory isn’t expected to last more than 30 days,” said Tim Cohee, President of Kirkwood Mountain Realty and Resort President for the past 13 years. “When the remaining 27 units of Thunder Mountain Lodge are released next fall, prices will be higher typical of multi-phase developments in this region.” Over the past five years, home prices at Kirkwood have appreciated nearly 20 percent.

Thunder Mountain Lodge is expected to break ground in spring 2007 and be ready for occupancy by Christmas of 2008. It has two- to three-bedroom, two- to three-bath residences next to the Timber Creek Village.
