Snug Harbor appears to be among
those markets based on their presales to date during construction.
Almost 40 percent of
the fastest-growing cities and towns in Ohio this century are located in Central Ohio . Thornville, the location of Heron Bay and now Snug Harbor, was recently
listed as the seventh fastest growing town in Ohio.
Thanks to the
combined short- and long-term demands of waterfront property, the strong,
affluent baby boomer luxury and vacation home market, along with low interest
rates, low property taxes and a quality school system, Snug Harbor is an extremely viable and sound investment.
The troubles in the
sub-prime mortgage market; the Central Ohio foreclosure rate; falling house
prices around the country; and the current dip in Central Ohio’s existing home
prices appear to have minimal affect on the Snug Harbor marketplace, or on
the luxury/vacation home buyer. During this time of a struggling real estate
market, Snug Harbor buyers do not need to sell their existing home to
purchase a home site or vacation home to totally enjoy their investment.
Snug Harbor is the perfectly
designed community with the amenities sought by the largest population
segment, coupled with excellent economic viability. For more information

On the shores of Buckeye Lake sitsa new waterfront village that will be a true resort-style community targeting the
affluent baby boomer luxury and vacation home market. Snug Harbor draws on the best ideas found in the most beloved waterfront villages and towns from around
the world.
Currently under
construction, this resort-style development is a major undertaking, requiring
careful planning and building, as well as government cooperation at every
step of the process. The site’s development work began in June 2006 and is
scheduled for completion this summer.
The architecture of Snug Harbor will be a melodic blend of coastal designs from waterfront communities spanning
the globe. Designs range from historic Western European villas and chateaus
to our native East Coast bungalows and cottages, to the fishing villages of Nova Scotia and the boathouses of Lake Muskoka.
A clear sense of a
resort-like atmosphere will be obvious throughout the mixed-use village as
you stroll along the wide boardwalk lined with quaint shops and restaurants, or
pick up your mail at a post office inspired by Harbor Springs, Mich. You’ll delight in the abundant colors and influences of Mackinaw Island and Seaside, Fla., evident throughout the project.
Vigilant attention
is paid to four-sided architecture that will ensure Snug Harbor’s timeless beauty and unique aesthetics.

Each home designed for the community will be
carefully tailored to achieve a design that captures the needs of the owner and
fulfills their dream to live a resort/waterfront lifestyle.
Snug Harbor will bring to task
more waterfront architecture experience than any other development at the
lake. The understanding of how people live and entertain on the lake will
allow for the maximization of each home’s layout. Every square inch of your
floor plan will be functional, allowing you to affordably exploit the water experience.
Architecture will
vary from lot to lot, but will always be cognizant of the residual spaces
created by the juxtaposition of houses. The Design Control Committee will
monitor and preserve vistas of the lake both from inside the individual homes
and from an outside perspective, including from the street.
Real estate sales and prices are flat or down in dozens of
metropolitan markets, but micro markets within them are performing differently.
Prices and sales are up this year from last, and plenty of buyers still want
to move in. Call them real estate oases (oasis micro markets) – neighborhoods
and zip codes that defy regional and national downward trends and remain in
demand.
