The Shangri La Resort last known as The Peninsula on Monkey Island at Grand Lake has a new owner and new very viable plans to restore the resort to a great attraction once again. This time the economics will not permit a new hotel but a new club house with dining room, fittness area, and social area will be built and the course will be restored to A-1 condition. Work is scheduled to start soon. There is also a narrow window to join or rejoin the Club without an entrance fee.  Monkey Island and all of the Grand Lake area residents are extremely grateful for Mr. Eddie Gibbs taking the helm of this fine Club. Mr. Gibbs almost had it bought once before but a last minute contract hangup stopped the sale. This time the ownership has passed to Mr. Gibbs.

Dale Forrest with United Golf Unlimited, a club member, and lake resident will be in charge of course improvements. Joe Wilkenson will be the Architect in charge of designing the new clubhouse. They hope to use native rock from the old hotel in the new building to make it feel like an old friend. Mike Long of Mike Long Construction will build the clubhouse.

A meeting has been set for Friday March 19 at 6:00 pm at the Top of the Towers for club members, former members, and others interested in joining. Plans, cost of membership, and details for the club will be talked about at the meeting. For a short window of time, memberships will be available with “no initiation fee”. Once construction is fully underway, there will be a fee to join. To attend this meeting call the Shangri La at 918 257-4204 or email stephanie.gragg@shangrilaok.com and make a reservation.

Many subdivision home builders use a model home to show their quality of workmanship and designs and use the model to sell custom homes off of. After a period of time these still new homes are sold and the builder either moves on or does another model home for review. We have such a home for sale at a reduced price in beautiful Patricia Island Estates on the shores of Grand Lake and in Grove, Oklahoma.

Patricia Island Estates is Grove’s finest golf and lake community with an 18 hole Tripp Davis designed golf course, swimming pool, tennis, and club house. You do not have to join the golf club to live in this wonderful addition. If you do like golf and the club activities the usual $2000 entry fee will be included with this model home sale if activated within one year.

This model home can also be purchased with a 30′ boat slip in the community slips at additional cost. You truly can enjoy the golf and lake lifestyle here.

The home is a 4 bedroom/3 bath home with office or library at front of home. The great room is open to kitchen and looks out to the nice trees in the backyard and the golf course. Upstairs is a game room, theater room, or kid’s play room. The fourth bedroom and a bath are also upstairs.

We have a great new list price on a traditional all brick home in the Grove, OK subdivision of Buffalo Shores North. This home has an end of the cove 40′ waterfront on Grand Lake to enjoy also.

It is like your own private park, so pretty, private, and you can enjoy birds, deer, squirrels, fox, and other wildlife from the last wood deck that is accessed from the master bedroom, great room, and one guest room or home office.

This home is 4 bedroom with 3 baths, has a fireplace and many bookshelves in the great room with the view of the huge backyard. It has a side entry to a large 2 car garage. The home is of timeless design and in good condition. Present owners have moved for new job and desire a quick sale. They made the mistake many do of pricing too high at $295,000 originally and it has not sold. Price has been reduced over time to $274,000 then $254,000, which is what present owners paid a couple of years ago at the peak of the market. Today it is priced at $239,000, under the market but owners are tired of two house payments since they have bought at their new city. Their loss can be your gain.

You can look far and wide for a scenic setting with a first class executive style home and acreage. We have one just listed. Sitting on 44.39 acres m/l overlooking  the valley from the rear of the home that looks over the very pretty SpringRiver but not joining the river. From the front view looking over the rolling land and nice pond fenced with a pipe and cable fence you will spend countless hours enjoying peace and tranquility in this great setting.

You will enjoy a 4 bedroom/2.5 bath home with 3236 square feet heated and cooled and 67oo square feet under roof per owner. This home has so many special touches that make it very unique. Look at the pictures above for just an idea of the massive oak woodwork with western metal inserts. The rock 2 sided fireplace between the great room and kitchen is so inviting on winter day. As you step into the home from the 2 car drivethru you will immediately notice the 22′ ceiling in the entry hall with stone and wood materials used for walls. The kitchen is huge and will be any cook’s delight. Guests will naturally pull up to one of the bar stools to visit while you finish dinner. There is a large formal dining room just off the kitchen. The bedrooms are of a split plan with 3 on one wing of the home and the master on the other side of the home. You will enjoy the oversized master closet that also is a safe room. The master bath has a jaccuzi tub and separate shower. You can step right out of the glass doors of the master to a covered patio and your hot tub or jump into the inground pool during summer months. There is also a separate patio area off the great room. Adding to the romance of the property is a stone walk from the patio to the scenic overlook to the river valley below.

There is a well laid out utility room and large oversized 2 car garage attached to the home. Extra special details of this one of a kind home are found everywhere you look. The combination of limestone rock and red brick for the exterior is just stunning.

The stats for 2009 are in and once again RE/MAX Grand Lake is the leader in the Grand Lake Market in sales. RE/MAX Grand Lake had 31,010,085 dollars in sales. The next closest office sold 23,511,644 dollars in sales. Average sales per agent were higher at RE/MAX Grand Lake also. The average was 2.4 million per agent with the next closest office average at 1.67 million dollars. Other office averages were 1.45 million, 1.33 million, 1.38 million, 1.05 million, .99 million and .715 million per agent.

When you are thinking of buying or selling why not use the most professional people available. The RE/MAX way of doing business in which agents pay office rent and expenses in return for a larger share of the commission pie brings the truly professional, full time, and most knowledgeable agents to the RE/MAX office.

If you are selling you certainly want the one selling your home to be dedicated to the job and the most professional at what he or she does. You want results. In a slower market we have all faced, it takes the knowledge and professional edge to get your property sold. It is not about who your nephew’s friend selling real estate is or your cousin selling on the side while working at another job fulltime. You want the professional fulltime realtor, a RE/MAX realtor.

If you are buying, you also want someone who devotes his or her working hours fulltime to assist you in finding just the right property to fit your needs and desires. It isn’t throwing darts to find your place, it takes knowledge and hard work to find just the right place.

We hope you will consider all the above when buying or selling in the Grove, OK and Grand Lake area. For twice the fulltime service call the Grand Lake Team at RE/MAX Grand Lake–Aaron Hughes and Joe Neill. Aaron and Joe work with retirees wanting a fulltime lake home, second home buyers wanting a weekend waterfront home, or someone nearing retirement who wants a weekend home on the golf course with a boat slip to be ready in 2-5 years to be a fulltime Grand Laker enjoying the lake and golf lifestyle. Aaron and Joe know the entire lake area, the Grand Lake MLS listings, and know how to find that extra special place for you when buying or how to go the extra miles to get your place sold when that is the goal.

Contact Aaron at 918 801-5645 or aaronhughes@remax.net or for Joe call 918 640-3300 or jneill@remax.net We hope to hear from you soon.
