The Wintergreen Real Estate Scene

What’s going on with real estate in Wintergreen? Being a Realtor for Wintergreen’s official real estate office, Wintergreen Resort Premier Properties, I get this question a lot.

It is a GREAT time to buy a second home or investment property in Wintergreen Resort or Nelson County. There are many value-priced condos and homes and interest rates are low. The resort has everything from studio condos to 9BR homes listed for sale this week.

Can I still get a loan for a vacation or second home? Yes, lenders are still providing loans for Wintergreen and Nelson County properties. Plan to put 10-20% down on the property, show good credit and an employment record.

Check out my web sites at www.ExperienceWintergreen.com and www.ExperienceNelsonCounty.com for condos under $200K and detached homes under $400K. I have provided a link on the home page(s) to these value priced homes and condos.

Studio Condo for $109,000
One Bedroom Condo in the $120K’s
Ski Out Condo in the low $300Ks
A Renovated 3BR home for less than $315K
Building Lots less than $100K

Homes in Nelson County have prices that start in the low $100Ks.
Can I rent my condo or home for income? Yes, Wintergreen owners can rent their home through several programs. Two of the most popular include www.WintergreenResort.com and www.VRBO.com

Wintergreen Resort does not have timeshares, but up to three families can own a property together.

Real Estate Today: Try Before You Buy Rent a condo or house while you are looking at real estate in Wintergreen Resort. I have a few houses and condos that you can rent before you decide to buy. The private rentals have great rates for ski season and come with many amenities.

712 Devil’s Knob Loop: Great views and 5BRs, 5 ½ Baths, large gourmet kitchen and hot tub

24 Seasons: Stay in Wintergreen’s new luxury community. 4BR, 51/2 baths, bonus media room and great location.

202 Timbers: 1BR condo in the popular Dobie Ski Area. First floor, end unit with separate bedroom. (not a studio condo)

Send an email to kim@ExperienceNelsonCounty.com and I will put you in touch with the owner for rental information. Each of these properties are listed for sale, and this is a great way to “try before you buy”

I hope to see you in beautiful Nelson County soon…
