ResortCom Elite Announces Private Residence Club In Lake Tahoe
October 6, 2009 by Fractional Ownership News ·
Fractions at Tonopalo Already Sold Out
ResortCom Elite, a joint-venture with LaTour Signature Group that provides management services for fractional market properties that meet 3.5 to four Diamond or Star status, was selected to manage Tonopalo, a l9-unit luxury private residence club in North Lake Tahoe. The club opened in 2003 and quickly sold out with 1/7th chapter fractional ownerships purchased from $350,000 to $850,000. (Some resales are now available.)
Set amidst the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Tonopalo is a beautifully appointed property located on a private 270-foot stretch of white sand beach. Each of the three- and four-bedroom, 1,700 to 3,000 square foot homes are fully furnished and accessorized. All of the residences provide extensive living and dining areas, roaring fireplaces, double master bedrooms, gourmet kitchens and lake views from outdoor patios and/or decks.
“It does not surprise me how quickly Tonopalo sold out – it’s a great opportunity for anyone who wants to own a piece of the ‘playground of the Pacific West’,” said Tom LaTour, founder of LaTour Signature Group. “The club fits perfectly with our ResortCom Elite group of resorts, as it offers exceptional amenities and services to its owners in picture-perfect Lake Tahoe.”
Owners at Tonopalo are able to enjoy the Tahoe’s numerous outdoor activities, including world-class skiing, championship golf, mountain biking, water sports and year-round fishing. The club features a wide sandy beach, a 300-foot pier and a luxury lakeside mountain lounge. In addition, Tonopalo’s unique amenities include kayaks, sailboats, pool, hot tub, fitness center, game room, on-site concierge and housekeeping services and a 26-foot Formula speedboat.
Tonopalo’s 1/7th chapter ownership guarantees each owner six weeks of usage per year. Owners also have access to Space Available, a program that allows unlimited use of the property in addition to the six guaranteed weeks anytime there is vacancy.
Tonopalo has been part of the ResortCom Elite family since 2008. In addition to Tonopalo, ResortCom Elite manages an array of similar properties in different locations around the world. Through ResortCom’s Exchange programs, Tonopalo owners are able to exchange weeks with owners at other ResortCom Elite properties.
“We were looking for a management company with both breadth and depth of experience in managing high-end vacation properties, and have found that in ResortCom,” said Lauri Steel, president of the Tonopalo Homeowners Association Board of Directors. “ResortCom really understands how fractional ownership is different from other kinds of resorts.”
