Recently, Bill Franklin, developer of the Thousand Acres at Deep Creek Lake community, sent us an update on the progress of the newest planned golf course in Garrett County and real estate subdivision.

• The front nine holes will be completed in fall 2008 and are scheduled to open in the spring of 2009. The back nine holes are scheduled to open later in 2009.
• Holes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 have been sodded around the greens, bunkers, and tees.
• Bill also reports they have been very careful not to impact any of the wetland areas - there are 8 small bridges that cross streams and wetlands. The only disturbance of those wetlands is those bridge posts.
• Fairway and rough seeding is ongoing along with clearing and grubbing, moving dirt, installing golf course drainage and irrigation, building roads and storm water structures, building the irrigation pond, and all the other stuff that goes into building a golf course

We are hopeful in the very near future that Railey Realty will have 5 new building lots and home sites for sale in the Thousand Acres at Deep Creek Lake subdivision.

The Blakeslee has been considered one of the premier neighborhoods at Deep Creek Lake for a long time now. Orginally developed in the late 80’s and early 90’s this neighborhood consists of 38 lakefront homes and 61 lake access homes/building lots. Of the 99 lots that were originally sold, all but 10 have houses on them now. The Blakeslee was named after the family who originally owned the large tract of land that now makes up the neighborhood.

 

Consisting of many high-end homes on wooded lots, this community is one of the few around Deep Creek Lake that has an indoor pool and community center. Other amenities include two tennis courts, a full size basketball court, kid’s playground, soccer field, and numerous trails which can be used for hiking, mountain biking, ATV’s, or snowmobiles. All the roads in the Blakeslee are private roads (Middleton Road, Thornberry Road, Sorbus Lane, North Blakeslee Road, and South Blakeslee Road) making it very nice to take a walk or ride a bike around the neighborhood.

 

The mix in the neighborhood consists of many vacation and second homeowners who only use their house on the weekends and during the summer - but their is a large percentage of owners who are full time residents of Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County as well.
