Residences Located in an Outdoor Lovers' Paradise Featuring The Largest Body of Water in Colorado and Mountain Bike Capital USA™

Winter Park, CO (April 2, 2009)—Homebuyers who want to own their share of "The Real West" can travel to Winter Park, Colorado, where three new offerings will allow outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the best of the high country at an exceptional value. Intrawest's Fraser Crossing, Founders Pointe and The Village Lofts, a collection of resort residences at the base of Winter Park Resort, in the heart of the Village at Winter Park, will offer the opportunity to own real estate in an area that offers some of the most spectacular scenery and recreational opportunities in the state.

Winter Park delivers a laid back, casual, uncomplicated atmosphere, where the biggest celebrity is often the fisherman who nabbed the largest catch. Fraser Crossing, Founders Pointe and The Village Lofts are located at the base of the closest major ski area to Denver and near some of Colorado's best year round outdoor recreation. The town is tucked away in Grand County, home to Grand Lake, the largest natural body of water in Colorado, and the western entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Embraced by undeveloped land and pristine wilderness, the area draws outdoor lovers who enjoy hiking, golfing, lift-operated mountain biking in what's become known as Mountain Bike Capital USA™, fishing, kayaking or boating on three large lakes. In the summer, owners at Fraser Crossing, Founders Pointe and The Village Lofts also will have easy access to horseback riding, hot air balloon rides and ATV tour. In the winter, residents enjoy world-class downhill and cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, ice skating and mushing the huskies.

Intrawest, developer of Fraser Crossing, Founders Pointe and The Village Lofts, has sold more than 85 percent of the residences in the last two years, reflecting the popularity of Winter Park Resort. The success of Fraser Crossing and Founders Point has carried over to Intrawest's newest and most distinctive offering at Winter Park Resort to date, The Village Lofts. The two projects are infusing an urban touch into Winter Park's small town feel and relaxed lifestyle while at the same time preserving the area's community roots.

With prices ranging from $244,900 to $649,900 for the fully furnished, ready-to-live-in studio , one or two-bedroom residences, Fraser Crossing and Founders Pointe have appealed to real estate buyers who have gravitated toward the project's value and its convenient location at the base of the ski hill. 

Fraser Crossing and Founders Pointe feature spacious living areas, solid wood entry doors, granite countertops in the kitchen and bath, GE stainless steel appliances, maple finished cabinets, hot water baseboard heating, gas fireplaces, private amenity decks with outdoor spa and BBQ, fireplace, flat-screened TVs and heated underground parking. The architecture is nature-inspired using slate cut to create a natural feel in tones of ivory, tan, teal and umber and heavy timber with exposed metal.

With occupancy anticipated in May, The Village Lofts provide a more exclusive experience at the base of the mountain, enabling owners to get away from it all while at the same time being in the middle of all the activity at The Village at Winter Park, with its expanding shops and restaurants.

The Lofts, an enclave of 14 town home style condominiums, juxtapose an urban design with the mountain surroundings. Perched above the new Village, the three- and four-bedroom luxury residences feature one- or two-story floor plans with kitchen, dining and living areas flowing together. Owners and guests can take advantage of the numerous features including stainless steel appliances, granite countertops with metallic and stone backsplash, Toto, Jado and Kohler bath fixtures, jetted tub, balconies with Village and mountain views, single car private garages, gas forced air heating and gas fireplaces. A limited opportunity still exists to purchase The Lofts at prices ranging from $945,000 to $1,349,000.

Fraser Crossing, Founders Pointe and The Village Lofts are only 67 miles from the Denver Airport and are easily accessed by way of I-70 West and Hwy 40. Amtrak also travels to Winter Park direct from Denver and Chicago.
