Leasing makes cottaging affordable

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 13, 2005 -- BANCROFT, Ontario, Canada � Affordable luxury in one of Ontario�s most beautiful vacation locations just got a whole lot easier thanks to an innovative cottage leasing program recently launched by Forest View Cottages, near Bancroft, Ontario.

Just 2.5 hours northeast of Toronto and not too far from New York State, Forest View Cottages is offering 10 exclusive log cottages, built by award-winning 1867 Confederation Log Homes, spread across 12.5 acres of property. The development on Baptiste Lake features 835 feet of sandy-shore frontage located in an area with significant undeveloped Crown Land.

But what sets this development apart from other fractional-cottage developments � besides the stunning square-timber cottage construction and breath-taking location � is the leasing program. In Phase One, buyers receive five weeks of vacation time each year for the next 50 years in a cottage that would cost them at least $650,000 to buy � for just $59,900.

�We�re making luxury cottaging much more affordable, even when compared to other fractional cottage developments,� said Craig Walton, the developer. When complete, the Forest View Cottages development will house just 10 cottages, a tennis court and in-door pool and hot-tub facility, spread across 12.5 acres. Fractional leasing involves a number of families sharing the use of one cottage, at separate times throughout the year. Maintenance and housekeeping are included in a low yearly fee.

Open house each summer weekend, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Weedays by appointment.
