Why did you buy a home in Steelwood Subdivision on the Alabama Gulf Coast?

I had the pleasure of taking a guided tour of beautiful Steelwood by one of its long-time residents. We drove from one end of the property to the other and ended our journey with a delicious lunch at the Steelwood Clubhouse. Over lunch I asked our guide a few simple questions, with the hopes at gaining a property owner's perspective into the heart of the Steelwood lifestyle.

Our conversation:

Agent: In your opinion, what are the biggest draws to investing in Steelwood real estate?

Resident: Steelwood is the most tranquil community in Baldwin County. The quiet country setting, the celebration of nature and the beauty of the lake, provide an escape from my busy work life. When the place where you live helps you find peace in life, I think that says a lot. From a practical standpoint, I do business all over the county and our central location is ideal for me.

Agent: What specific aspects have you come to appreciate about daily life and the overall community of Steelwood, that you think a prospective buyer would like to know?

Resident: There is a strong sense of community at Steelwood and I have formed many close relationships over the years. An entertaining calender of social events draws us together, like dinners at The Club, fishing trips on the lake, football parties, poker nights, Saturday rounds of golf, tennis lessons and Sunday worship.

Agent: If you were to move, what would you miss the most about life in Steelwood?

Resident: I would miss the close relationship I have with the community, watching the deer eat out of my front yard, the scenery, the sense of security the community provides. I never lock my doors, even when we go on vacation, and I never worry about my child going on bike rides or walking to a friends house to play. This is a very unique place to live and it would be very hard for me to duplicate this lifestyle anywhere else in Baldwin County.

Open house set at gated Steelwood

Influx of country club members prompts push for new buyers at subdivision Sunday, September 27, 2009 By KATHY JUMPER Real Estate Editor

Local Realtors are hoping some of the 125 new members of Steelwood Country Club will want to buy a home in the gated residential community on 1,400 acres in Loxley, and are holding a mass open house today from 1 to

4 p.m.

"Having new members should get us new buyers," said Scott Smith, golf pro at Steelwood's Jerry Pate-

designed golf course and owner of Landmark Real Estate.

Last July, Richard and Carol Miller, the developers of Steelwood near the Loxley exit off Interstate 10, sold their ownership in Steelwood Country Club to 40 original club members.

A membership campaign followed. By the time the push ends, there should be an estimated 350 club members, according to Smith.

The club amenities include the golf course, a 200-acre lake, a fish camp, boating, tennis courts, clubhouse dining, swimming pools, a fitness center and land for hunting.

"The neat thing about the development is the diversity in that there are 750-square-foot cabins to 5,000-square-foot homes and everything in between," Smith said. "A lot of owners started small with a cabin and wanted to see how much they would use the amenities, and now they have moved up to larger homes."

In the past, it was tough for agents to get in the secluded Steelwood subdivision to show houses, according to Barbara Sims of Dauphin Realty West. She and her colleagues organized today's open house after learning about the number of new club members. "New blood brings more activity," she said.

The homes open for tours range from $335,000 to $985,000 and include Prickett Properties, Landmark Real Estate, Dauphin Realty and Roberts Brothers.

There are 130 homes in Steelwood and about 50 lots available for sale at prices from $67,000 to $365,000.

The new board put together a membership program that was economically feasible even in the current economy, Scott said.

The full initiation fee is $15,000, with annual dues of $1,400 to $4,410, depending on the range of services, according to the Steelwood Web site.
