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 General Counsel Steve Forehand has forestalled that trail of tears until Labor Day 2008.  Maybe they made this decision because sales in 2007 have not been as brisk as 2006.  Who knows.  The fact is, the old salts at DSC have one more year.

While I was checking out the view of Lake Martin from some new lots at The Ridge, I stopped by the Ridge Club to see how construction was going.  As I stated in this earlier post, I really must say that The Ridge Club will be very nice when they are done.  The pool area is comparable to many area country clubs, with a resort style, multi leveled, no sharp angle feel.

Inside The Ridge Clubhouse will be nice, too.  I am a sucker for big stone and big wood, and the architecture in here looks like something out of Rohan.  I’m loving it.

Check the numbers here; now is a great time to be a buyer in The Ridge.  Need help?
