NEWRY, ME -- 12/18/07 --
A new kind of development in Maine's Sunday River
area is "breaking the mold" for land development by delivering both
environmental advocacy and prestige to meet the needs of a new breed of
customer.
LandSource, LLC, a sister
company of James W. Powers, Inc. and Northern Acres, has created Great
Brook Preserve in the Sunday River, Maine area, a project dedicated to
attracting strong environmental advocates seeking premium quality for
primary, secondary or retirement homes.
Of the original 8,700 acres purchased by the developer, only 6% are being
developed. After selling a large tract, the developer has donated nearly
600 acres of the remaining land to the non-profit land trust, Western Maine
Charitable Foundation, in which the land will be
preserved in perpetuity.
This donation plays a very important role in a large scale conservation
effort in the state of Maine. According to David Herring, foundation
executive director, the donation is a "critical link" into Newry from the
north/east and links the corridor to the Outward Bound L.L. Bean Mountain
Center.
Herring adds, "It is a very important piece of land for us and moves us one
step closer to achieving our objective of conserving a 180-mile corridor
from Rockwood to the Newry area and building and operating a hut and trail
system."
Jim Powers of LandSource, LLC says, "We are talking about a donation of
land that could have been very marketable, particularly with its incredible
views of the Mahoosuc Mountain Range, Sunday River Ski Resort, streams and
waterfalls that will be accessible as great hiking, cross-country skiing,
snowmobile and fishing venues."
He adds, "This is about delivering on a project that we can be proud of for
many generations. In the land development world, you can leave your mark in
many different ways. We feel that Great Brook Preserve is a shining example
of the right way. We are very proud of what this represents for our
customers and for our legacy as a company."
Brit West, a purchaser of a 7.6 acre lot, is representative of the new
breed of land buyer who is attracted to Great Brook Preserve. West says,
"After considerable research we decided Great Brook was the right choice as
it offers an incredible combination as an outstanding recreational venue
for my family and a development that delivers a great message about land
preservation in a very beautiful part of the world."
"Great Brook Preserve is really a great connection to this new breed of
buyer," says Powers.
Phase 1 of Great Brook Preserve is already more than 80 percent sold out
and Phase 2 was recently launched.
Great Brook Preserve at Sunday
River offers not only great proximity and views of Sunday River Ski
Resort but also close access to the award-winning Sunday River Golf Club
designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Grafton Notch State Park as well as Historic Bethel Village.
Additionally, each of the home sites borders the preserved conservation
land with such features as waterfalls, hiking and groomed cross-country ski
trails, trout brook and beautiful views.
