Recognised as a premier collection of uniquely-designed and authentic paired homes, the Fairway Villas are located just 90 miles west of Denver, set within the elegant and much sought-after golf community of the Grand Elk Ranch and Club, with its nearby private alpine ski club and lakeside marina. The community is predicted to be the new Aspen or Vail!

Encompassing every aspect of the perfect mountain vacation destination - from wide ranging recreational activities to relaxing afternoon strolls - the Fairway Villas offer something for everyone all year round. As their name suggests, the first fairway of the championship standard, Craig Stadler-designed course runs alongside the units which comprise four bedrooms and at least four bathrooms, are fully furnished, appointed to the high standards expected of a premier golf resort and enjoy panoramic views.

Consistently outperforming average local growth rates, this investment is a high performing asset with tremendous rental and capital appreciation potential. A $5,000 reservation fee secures properties ranging from $650,000, with only a 30% deposit required. Full membership of the Grand Elk Ranch and Country Club, valued at $30,000, and the guarantee of a comprehensive rental and management package, are included with every purchase. Club membership includes use of the magnificent club's swimming, boating, tennis and golf facilities, access to the alpine club, ski passes and much, much more!

All this luxury, plus an equally impressive return, is offered to anyone wanting a quarter share ownership of a Fairway Villa. Investors only buy what they can use personally, rent out, trade or sell on, requiring only a $2,500 reservation fee and the same deposit. The vast majority of the club membership package, full deeded title ownership - not as a timeshare - and a full property management, maintenance free package are all included in a shared ownership agreement.

Independence Properties has joined forces with US-based construction and finance companies, a local entrepreneur and a UK-based accountant to form a company - Colorado Real Estate Ventures LLC. The new company also invites UK and European investors to enter into a joint venture to acquire and build the properties at Grand Elk, in which the projected return is 200% in two years.

Such joint ventures work simply because they are based on local knowledge and expertise. With the builder directly involved in the venture, land can be purchased at good prices where the local market is bucking the trend or potentially profitable developments can be taken over. Building costs can also be controlled and readily available construction workers employed.

Moreover, the $/£ exchange rate is currently extremely favourable to UK investors and a depressed market is the time to buy!
