The challenging terrain of the upper reaches of this mountainous setting and the extensive existing waterways of the lower lying land combine to provide a picturesque setting for this golf resort, and creates the opportunity for the two nine-hole loops to each have a distinct character.
A beautifully landscaped scenic drive winds through the lower and mid reaches of the hills to form a loop road that provides easy access to every part of the resort community. The golf clubhouse and resort hotel are grouped together to provide an active social center, and they occupy a central site that is virtually an island, surrounded by golf, that is prominent from both entrances to the resort.
Townhouses range from 220 to 250 square meters, and the villas average 330 square meters in size. There are several large corporate ‘estates’, and some added density close to the clubhouse. Several hot spring ‘pools’ are located in the upper reaches of the slopes, and careful grading allows the retention of natural drainage areas which at the same time provide naturally landscaped corridors that divide the residential areas into intimate communities. The average FAR for all developed areas is .46.
