By: DebraSavage dsavage@railey.com 301-616-4085 May 4th, 2012 Category: Deep Creek Lake Real Estate, Fractional Ownership

Here’s a new and exciting concept in buying a second home; buy a million dollar luxuriously furnished lakefront home on beautiful Deep Creek Lake in Garrett Country, MD for one-eight the price, and get a new top of the line 24′ Bennington Lake Cruiser on your own private dock, thrown in?

Located on beautiful Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County - Maryland’s largest freshwater lake and four-season playground -  is a unique fractional real estate opportunity waiting for you. Now you can spend the upcoming summer weekends relaxing on the deck of an elegantly furnished home overlooking the lake, with the ‘Mercedes of Lake Cruiser’ on your private dock, waiting to be taken out for a spin.

The Creekside Club, a fractional private residence club, a growing trend for those looking for a carefree vacation home offers an exclusive ownership of a $1 million luxury Deep Creek lakefront home and a luxury 24′ decked-out lake cruiser, all for only a fraction of the cost.

This is no ordinary lakefront home, and no ordinary boat. It’s part of a growing trend in luxury vacation homes - where like-minded people share the costs of private home while reaping the benefits of the perfect family retreat.

What makes this second home real estate opportunity so extraordinary, aside from your totally carefree enjoyment is the added bonus of the boat ownership. It can be said that the best way to spend time on the water is to have a friend with a boat. Now the Creekside Club offers boat ownership with its private residence club home yet without the hassles or maintenance and a fraction of the upkeep cost; all the fun, none of the headaches. All you do is show up to your lakefront home, your groceries are in the fridge, the drinks are on the boat, and you are off enjoying the blue waters of Deep Creek Lake.

The inclusion of a $50,000+ top-of-the-line Bennington Cruiser comes just as Garrett County is gearing up for their busy summer season. But for owners of this vacation home, a boat comes privately docked right outside your back door. You no longer have to experience the hassle of boat rentals or the annoyance or costs of boat maintenance. Perfect for a leisurely cruise on the lake’s clear blue waters, you can also speed things up with waterskiing and wakeboarding. The Cruiser comes fully equipped with comfortable lounge seating, a great sound system and space enough for ten.

If you only plan to use your Deep Creek vacation home 6 or 7 times per year, this is the smarter way to own a luxury home on the lake. A one-eighth deeded share starts at only $139,000, giving you an impressive four-bedroom villa, your personal 24′ Inboard/Outboard Lake Cruiser, complete with a private dock, and the freedom to use this home as much as you want based only availability. Without any of the financial or maintenance headaches involved with most second homes, ownership at The Creekside Club allows owners to take full advantage of all the amenities the gorgeous villa and all that the Deep Creek Lake area has to offer, at a price you wouldn’t think possible.

For most Owners of a fractional private residence club, like The Creekside Club, the ease of ownership is just as appealing as the cost. A club staff cares for the property and provides boutique hotel-like services. Fair and equitable club reservation policies dictate use - which is unlimited, subject to use by other owners. So, instead of spending a small fortune on a home you’d only use two or three times a year, you’ll be spending a fraction of that price and be able to use it as much as Owners want. Residence Club Partners of Asheville, NC, has masterfully set an attainable goal for families who want to enjoy a vacation home that is affordable as well as indulgent.
