the ridge: Video Tour Of The Ridge - Beach Park, Ridge Trails - 12/11/08 04:46 AM
Since I have a waterfront lot listed for sale in Lake Martin’s The Ridge, I get a lot of questions about the various amenities of the Ridge. One of the huge benefits to owning a waterfront home or town home in the Ridge is access to all of the “stuff.”
Though I have been in the neighborhood countless times, I had never been by road to The Ridge’s Beach Park before yesterday.  It was really nice, it has a big covered pavilion, changing / rest rooms, and, of course, a big beach.  The water view is of Lake Martin icons Chimney … (0 comments)

the ridge: Video Tour of the Amenities of The Ridge, Lake Martin - 07/09/08 03:59 AM
I am working with a couple of buyers in The Ridge, a Russell Lands development in Lake Martin.  I always get asked lots of questions about the amenities at the Ridge, so I thought I would shoot a video to show some of them.

the ridge: The Ridge Marine In Water Boat Show 2008 - 05/11/08 03:31 PM
The Ridge Marina on Lake Martin hosted its In Water Boat Show for 2008 last weekend.  I went down there on Thursday and filmed a little video footage of the Marina.  It was a beautiful day, albeit windy.  I was going to post this on Friday to give folks a chance to look around before they came.  So by posting this today, I guess it becomes a "in case you missed it" vlog.

the ridge: 2 or 3 Thousand Expected at The Ridge Showcase of Homes - Lake Martin - 09/13/07 06:53 AM
Russell Lands is hosting the "Annual Showcase of Homes" at its newest Lake Martin development - The Ridge. 
The showcase is happening over two weekends - September 15 and 16 as well as September 22 and 23, 2007.  Many of the builder spec homes that are for sale will be open to the public to tour.  Russell Lands is also having the Grand Opening of The Ridge Club on September 15.
I am not sure which or how many of the The Ridge spec homes that are currently for sale will be in the Showcase.  By my last count on the Lake Martin Area MLS, there … (0 comments)

the ridge: 2007 Is Russell Lands’ 2nd Best Year On Lake Martin - 08/27/07 08:51 AM
This year has been good to Lake Martin developer Russell Lands.
Broker Steve Arnberg was interviewed by the Opelika - Auburn News recently about the sales trends on Lake Martin.  Arnberg said that, while low water levels on Lake Martin had affected sales, this year was still strong enough to qualify as their second best.
Arnberg is quoted as saying "It's not as good as last year and we can't necessarily say why, but (sales) are as good as the year before."
I assume that means that Russell Lands has sold about the same amount of Lake Martin waterfront property this year as they did … (0 comments)

the ridge: Lake Martin Real Estate Spotlight: The Ridge Update - 08/14/07 04:52 AM

The Ridge - Russell Lands' newest Lake Martin development - is near to completing its Ridge Clubhouse and Pool Area, while Phase III construction is ramping up.
I popped by The Ridge last week to look at some lots in Phase III.  Phase III - which stretches south towards the Dixie Sailing Club, which is Lake Martin's largest sailing organization.  Phase III already has a few spec homes on the MLS, and builders are already started a few custom builds. 
Originally, Russell Lands had planned to move Dixie Sailing Club out of The Ridge to their new digs by Labor Day 2007.  But this letter from Russell Lands … (0 comments)

the ridge: Lake Martin Real Estate Spotlight: The Ridge - 04/16/07 03:52 PM

Russell Lands has developed neighborhoods on Lake Martin for over thirty years, but its newest, The Ridge, is vastly different from any one it has done before.
Russell Lands has gated communities like Willow Point, and the Ridge is near to its other developments of Windermere, Windermere West, and Windover.  But The Ridge is a totally new animal.  Here are 5 Things That Make The Ridge Different: 
1.  Heavy emphasis on selling through approved builders - Russell Lands started this Lake Martin trend a few years ago with Phase I of The Ridge, and continues it with Phase III.  They sell a certain number of lots to "approved" builders, who build spec houses and then turn around and sell … (0 comments)
