Delta Residences at Sun Peaks Resort
The best of all worlds written by Susan M. Boyce for the BC Homes & Resorts February 23rd to March 23rd, 2007 edition of the real estate magazine. Added to the Condo Blogger because it provides useful information for the Delta Residences at Sun Peaks resort recreational real estate market. Well written and personal, Susan M. Boyce does an excellent job with creating the resort atmosphere and master planned community at the Delta Residences at Sun Peaks.
It’s no secret I have a soft spot in my heart for Sun Peaks. Crisp air, lush forested setting, the whimsical Sud-Tyrol architecture that always makes me think of sipping wine on the balcony of an Italian chalet in northern Italy – it just feels good here.
And every time I visit I’m amazed how fast the Delta Residences at Sun Peaks is taking shape right before my eyes. Of course, I’ve been following construction via the site’s web cam for months, but there’s nothing quite like being able to actually touch the building and walk through the spaces – naturally with my trusty hard hat planted firmly on my head.
I’m not the only one eagerly watching the Delta Residences at Sun Peak Resort’s progress either. “Real estate buyers are stopping by all the time to see for themselves or just to say hi,” says Craig Anderson, marketing consultant with Pilot House. “And now is the prime time to buy because you’re still getting preconstruction [presales] pricing on all remaining units.”
An Investment for the Future
Delta Residences at Sun Peaks is committed to introducing a new level of luxury and opulence to the community. Granite countertops in kitchen and bath, deep soaker tubs plus separate glass showers, cozy fireplaces, rich wood-tone detailing, and an abundance of jewel-tone fabrics – it’s all about relaxation and being pampered to the ultimate degree.
Personally though, my favourite feature is the fact every home owner enjoys full access to all the amenities of the adjoining Delta Sun Peaks Hotel – pool, hot tub, health club, room service, and even housekeeping. “Even though you’ve got full, gourmet kitche, if you don’t feel like cooking you just order from room service – easy,” Craig says grinning broadly. “I’ve bought here, and I can’t wait.”
But the Delta Residences at Sun Peaks is more than a luxurious vacation retreat – it’s an investment in the future. “Sun Peaks Resort still has so much growth ahead, and as people see the vision of what this community will ultimately be, they recognize this is a stable, long term investment” says Francis Argouin, sales and marketing director for Sun Peaks Resort.
“We are now starting phase two of four real estate development phases,” Francis says. “The Delta Residences, however, is the last ski in/ski out property that will be built in the heart of the Village – that makes it even more desireable.” And with some local houses now pushing past the benchmark $1 million mark, he believes these units will do nothing buy appreciate.
Year Round Enjoyment
Every Sun Peaks visit I learn something new. Last time I discovered Sun Peaks is the second largest skiable terrain in BC. But not being a skier myself, this trip’s gem is far more interesting on a personal level. “Our mountain bike park is the second largest in BC and fifth largest in North America,” Craig tells me. Wow! He adds their 18-hole golf course will be open for the season by the time I visit next – just in case I want a break from canoeing and hiking.
The Delta Residences at Sun Peaks offers a total of 41 fully furnished condominium retreats with quarter ownership starting as low as $99,900. The Delta Residences at Sun Peaks presentation centre is open 11:00am to 6:00pm daily in the Village next door to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. For more information call 1-877-578-7781, or you can visit on the web anytime at www.deltaresidences.com.

Live the Life at Red Mountain | Red Mountain Resort, Rossland, BC
The biggest news that we could ever give you is... Red Mountain just announced that each purchaser of a new home in either Slalom Creek or Morningstar on March 3rd will receive (2) lifetime ski passes at the Red Resort!! You and your partner can ski for free for the rest of your lives if you purchase a home on March 3rd.
By the way, have you seen RED Mountain Resort lately...in the Forbes Top Ten List, countless ski magazines, your local newspaper, television station, mailbox, and from all of your friends?? Are you wondering what all the fuss is about at RED Mountain Resort? You registered for more information, and it's all here!
Two RED Resort major announcements were made in December, including the first new chairlift in 30 years, and the signing of a deal with the 5-star, boutique Valencia Hotel. Things are abuzz here as RED Mountain Resort receives the recognition of being rated the numer 7 ski resort in all of North America, and coined "B.C.s next big thing" by the noted lifestyle magazine, 'Sunset', among other accolades.
In its 110-year ski history, the town of Rossland has come a long way, but very little has changed here about the experience of it all. Ever heard of little to no lift lines on an unbelievable powder day? That is certainly something that the privately owned Red Mountain is working hard to preserve. Currently the RED Mountain Resort terrain covers 1,585 acres, while the future lift expansion plan would increase it to over 4,200 acres.
There is a very limited opportunity for you to have an address at the base of RED mountain. Slalom Creek at RED Mountain Resort, the premiere, ski in/ ski out property at the base of the lifts is currently under construction with a scheduled completion of November 2007. Morningstar at RED Mountain Resort, in its dramatic, and intimate location is scheduled for occupancy shortly thereafter.
The 48 exceptional homes available for this season will be offered by a Selection Event on March 3rd.
Please contact us at 1.888.362.7007 if you are interested in learning more about this opportunity of a lifetime at RED Mountain Resort. Reservations are going fast for this limited time offer.
