Kevin Sheridan, CEO of developers Sheridan Resorts, said: 'Linda brings immense energy and enthusiasm to the project and adds a reassuringly professional eye to detail.' Overlooking a lake on a new championship golf course, the resort is due for completion in 2010. Prices start from £40,000.
Also in the UNESCO protected Razlog Valley, where strict planning regulations mean that land near to the development will stay undisturbed, Alpine Valley is a unique complex locally in that unlike most new homes for sale it is not been sold off-plan, but key ready.
Parvez, who is selling the resort, says the developer chose to deliver the concept before starting sales to allow potential purchasers to see what they are getting for their money before committing to buy.
The complex’s facilities includ an 18-metre indoor swimming pool, plunge pool, outdoor heated swimming pool, 24 hour concierge service, restaurant, spa centre, gymnasium, cocktail bar, wi-fi internet connectivity, and an awarded winning home entertainment system (Cedia 2008) which is fully integrated and compatible with iPod products.
