KENT — March 4, 2011 — Kent Farmer, owner/designated broker of Prudential Meridian Valley Realty, along with over 30 agent/brokers, started the new year with a move into new offices located at 15423 SE 272nd Street near Lake Meridian in Kent. The new location involved an extensive four-month construction project within the Lake Meridian Station retail center along Kent-Kangley Road next door to Parker Paint. “We are thrilled to be in this new prime location and to have the increased visibility and accessibility,” said Farmer. “After more than 30 years at our old location, we felt it was time for a change.

Lake Arrowhead: California’s Alps

The 2006 Winter Olympics have riveted Americans with the awesome vistas of the Italian Alps. If you’re one of the many people who have added the Alps to their list of destinations to visit someday, take heart. There are places closer to home that offer those same stunning vistas. One such place, in fact, is a short drive from Los Angeles, in San Bernardino county: Lake Arrowhead, California.

Lake Arrowhead has been called “California’s Alps.” While the people of this community have all of Southern California’s famous warmth, the mountains, the pine trees, and the climate are totally alpine. Snowy but mild winters make for some of the West Coast’s best skiing. In the summer, Southern Californians escape here to swim or canoe in the lake and breathe in the mountain valley’s cool, clean air.

Lake Arrowhead, California Real Estate

Close-to-home wonderlands like Lake Arrowhead aren’t just great places to visit. Many people in tight real estate markets are finding that such places offer a unique opportunity for owning and investing in real estate. According to a real estate agent in Lake Arrowhead Louisa Millington, owning your weekend getaway can save money over the long term. In addition to any possible appreciation of the property value, renting can provide investment income. In the Lake Arrowhead real estate market, you can rent not only to long-term tenants, but also to vacationers at higher vacation rates.

If you check out the Lake Arrowhead MLS, luxury homes in Lake Arrowhead, you’ll find that prices are still more down to earth than in much of southern California.

What’s most amazing is that if you’re not a native of Southern California, you may never have even heard of this place. Perhaps it’s Lake Arrowhead’s lower profile that has saved it from overdevelopment, preserving its quiet beauty.

Lake Arrowhead Information

Climate:

According to UCLA, Lake Arrowhead enjoys “310 days of sunshine.” While that may not impress Southern Californians, Lake Arrowhead also boasts four utterly distinct seasons, including snow on the mountains in winter—yet with daytime temperatures that rarely go below freezing and often reach 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Things to do:

Skiing. Lake Arrowhead’s climate is perfect for skiing: just cold enough for snow, but rarely below freezing during the day. The most popular places to ski are Snow Valley and the Big Bear Lake area.
Blue Jay Ice Castle. A world-class ice skating rink often used by the premier American woman figure skater, Michelle Kwan.
San Bernardino National Forest. The San Bernardino National Forest wraps around Lake Arrowhead, ensuring that much of the area’s natural beauty remains open to all, and protecting the area from over-development. Wildlife includes the Southwestern Arroyo Toad, an endangered species. Activities include camping, hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking.
Deep Creek Hot Springs: one of the most popular areas of natural hot springs in southern California. The springs are located inside San Bernardino National Forest. You have to hike to the springs themselves, but the springs and the surrounding canyon landscape are worth the relatively easy trek.
The Arrowhead Queen. See the lake area from the best perspective: the lake itself, on this enclosed paddleboat.
Lake Arrowhead Film Festival. The theme of the 2006 festival (May 5-7) is “The Future of Film In the Digital Age – the newest in techniques and services that bring strong and innovative movie-making.”8 Shopping: Check out the Lake Arrowhead Outlet, as well as specialty stores on the south shore of the lake.
VIP and Hollywood celebrity-watching. Lake Arrowhead has been one of southern California’s “playgrounds of the rich and famous” since at least the 1930s.

Gem of Caribbean Real-Estate Going On Auction

(PRWEB) October 15, 2007

Resting invisibly from the eyes of modernization on the south eastern coast of the Caribbean island of Tobago lies a hidden treasure of the perfect sun set and 180 degree views of the Atlantic Ocean. This 33 Hectares (82 Acres) of contoured, windswept land is now ready and waiting for the right buyer to reveal its history’s secrets.

The buyer of this gem of Caribbean real estate gets the best of both worlds … from the uncharted forest and isolated beaches to the steel-pan playing outdoor cafes and exotic restaurants. From Indian Point Estate, you can get to the bustling Capital of Scarborough, in mere minutes and even better, you are situated only steps away from the Crown Point International Airport.

Here, it seems like time stood still for nature’s hands to mold its pure, crystal clear springs, which empty themselves into the river’s mouth on the northwestern base of the headland. The meandering coastline of secluded coves and uncharted inlets all whisper tales of there past.

The wetlands’ valley floors will entice the nature enthusiast within you with its exhilarating Tropical grandeur. These contours give birth to a luxuriant and diverse array of one-of-a-kind flora and fauna. Your senses will indulge in the mysterious wild life; with their intense color and harmonious sounds. Indian Point Estate tickles your adventurous side and yet offers you utter and complete sanctuary. Spoiling you and bowing to your every whim and fancy, this magical gem of Caribbean real estate gives special and full attention to your every mood.

POSSIBLE USES:

1.    This property can be developed into an ultra-private residence

2.    It can be developed as originally planned with a Hotel Resort Complex on the seafront at the foot of the valley and housing clusters on 1 Hectare (2.5 Acres) parcels on selected sites on the side and top of the valley (outline approval previously granted)

3.    It can also be developed into 5 acre plots which can be marketed independently

Noteworthy is that the local authorities are receptive to a development that preserves at best the nature of the environment and incentives including tax holidays for up to five years are offered to approved real estate projects. In addition to this there is no volcanic activity on the island and it lies outside of the hurricane zone. Political stability exists and crime and pollution are practically non-issues.

To entertain the hidden explorer, Indian Point Estate also had its own keeper. But, not just any keeper, a keeper that left a book. A bound diary of its history all mapped out waiting for your arrival. Read about how the estate began in the 1700s when the British colonized Tobago, right up to the point when it was sold in the 1800s.

Its very own website, http://www.Indianpointestate.com reveals so much, yet, not worthy enough to impart its true magical past. Here and only here will you find the diary to read yourself into living the dream.

This land owns many secrets but only one will know them all. This is your opportunity to own your own sunny, Caribbean escape and embrace paradise.

Auction of this gem of Caribbean real-estate has been scheduled for December 1st 2007.
