• The Ellington – 1,672 square feet, two bedrooms/2-1/2 bathes, priced from $600,000.

 

The Cottages at LochenHeath provide buyers with a rich architectural design featuring wood and stone; large covered patios; decorative iron light fixtures and landscaped front yards. Standard interior features include metal-clad wood windows; a wide variety of tile, carpet and wood floor variations; seven-foot solid-core interior doors with custom hardware, finishes and design; custom ceiling detail in master suites and great rooms; fully-integrated security system; structured wiring technology for state-of-the-art communications systems, including telephone, cable TV and data wiring for high-speed Internet access; pre-wiring for stereo system and in-home theatres; professionally designed lighting package, and pre-wiring for ceiling fans in great room and all bedrooms.

 

Large gourmet kitchens feature furniture-quality cabinets; built-in island cabinet; stone countertops; walk-in pantries; recessed lighting; stainless steel two-compartment sinks with designed faucets; built-in refrigerator with stainless panels; convection oven and separate microwave oven; gas burner cooktop; and heavy-duty dishwasher and garbage disposal.

 

Because northern Michigan properties have diverse climates, the new cottages were also designed with a number of energy-saving features, including dual-pane, low “E” glass windows and doors; efficiency-designed air conditioning and heating system; programmable thermostats; gas hot water heater, and natural gas included at water heater, furnaces, fireplaces, dryer and cooktop.

 

Over the course of the past 18 months, developers have made dramatic improvements to the private golf and residential property that was formerly a cherry orchard. Last October, LochenHeath unveiled its new 4,500- square-foot sales center and $1.2 million temporary member’s pavilion. The temporary clubhouse will serve LochenHeath members for the next “two or three years” until the full-service 25,000-square-foot permanent structure is constructed. When completed, the permanent clubhouse will house a golf shop, men’s and women’s lockerrooms, casual and formal dining rooms, and banquet and special event facilities. Additional plans call for a 6,000-square-foot fitness center.

 

The “buying decision” at LochenHeath, a premier northern Michigan property, is primarily being dictated by lifestyle considerations and a family-oriented environment that encourages frequent visits from buyers residing in Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis and other Midwestern cities. “Our new golf cottages will provide a new product that will give buyers another way to enjoy the community’s comfortable, elegant and private environment.”

 

As LochenHeath enters its second year, several custom homes are currently under construction, subject to strict design guidelines and architectural controls that will maintain the development’s commitment to high quality and long-term sustainable value. Michigan lakefront home views in LochenHeath are protected through meticulous site planning and positioning of all building pads. Lot prices in this prestigious Traverse City golf community range from $200,000 to $2.2 million.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
