What Makes Dover Bay Resort Unique from other North Idaho Resort Communities

Continuing with the discussion of the unique features that make Dover Bay Resort a solid investment, here are some key differentiators from other resort real estate communities in and around Sandpoint Idaho.

A. Concept of Independent Commercial Entities

In today's market, one of the biggest sales challenges a second home development has

is the love/hate relationship between real estate and the club. Many communities

require homeowner's to be club members, using and paying for both the amenities

and homeowner's association services.

This is what sets Dover Bay apart from the rest. The commercial aspects of the Marina

Village, the Lake Club Fitness Center, Café and Market, Marina and future amenities are

"stand alone" facilities. The homeowner makes the choice to have a boat slip or belong

to the health club facility. This "a la carte" philosophy will continue as additional

amenities are added to the resort.

B. Irreplaceable natural amenities create an irreplaceable opportunity ‐ Location, Location,

Location

Market share will be especially problematic for the remote, destination‐oriented

communities that are time consuming and expensive to get to and offering only a

private golf club, swimming, tennis, parks and trails.

Dover Bay is also different in that it features "irreplaceable natural amenities" which

creates an irreplaceable opportunity to be part of a waterfront community. One of

Dover Bay's strengths is the amount of water frontage access and views it features.

Where else can you find a 285 acre community directly on the shores of a fantastic

Lake? The location of having the second largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi

out your front door, a world renowned ski mountain out your back and the quaint

friendly town of Sandpoint nearby is distinctive.

Dover Bay is unique in that it's nestled in a dramatic natural setting. Its location on

Lake Pend Oreille, its proximity to Sandpoint and the many activities of a four season

lifestyle are extremely rare. The community includes over 9 acres of parks and beaches,

9 miles of walking and biking trails which connect to the North Idaho Pathways and is

only 3 miles from downtown Sandpoint which features many art galleries, restaurants

and retail outlets.

Dover Bay is an easy weekend getaway for the second home buyer, 90 minute drive

from Spokane, 45 minutes to Coeur d'Alene and 30 minutes to the Canadian border.

D. Completion of Amenities

All the essential amenities are completed. Dover Bay Development is in discussions to

create additional amenities that will improve the community.

E. Strength of the developer and lenders

The strongest developments begin with having financially and ethically strong

developers. It's that solid foundation that ensures long‐term security success for Dover

Bay homeowners as well as for the Resort itself.

D. Operations

1. Waterfront Property Management, the largest marina operator on Lake Pend Oreille,

manages the commercial facilities within the community.

2. Tom Curtiss, a seasoned property manager with Panhandle Management manages

the neighborhood's HOAs and overall community association's maintenance.

E. Price Points

Unlike many other communities, Dover Bay has something for everyone. Home

sites start at $145,000 for interior lots with a lake view and range up to

$1,500,000 for estate sized lakefront home sites. We also have Parkside Bungalows

starting at $198,500 or if you would prefer luxurious waterfront custom homes that

have no price limitations. Dover Bay truly has something for everyone whether you're a

first time home buyer, the second home getaway buyer or an investor.

In addition, Dover Bay has a "buy now, build later" option for home site purchasers.

Because our buyers tend to be buying to create a long‐term family legacy, and because

Dover understands the nature of this new economy, they can take their time, choose their

own‐builder and create their dream home when their finances allow.

F. A Variety of Home Styles

Dover Bay Waterfront Community features 11 different unique neighborhoods which

offer a limited selection of waterfront home sites, waterfront condominiums,

Cabin in the Woods, Cottages in Dover Meadows and Parkside Bungalows each

neighborhood unique and offers a variety of prices ranges.

F. Waterfront

Dover Bay features 23, 000 feet of waterfront with 9,000 of that on Lake Pend

Oreille. All the paths (trails) lead to the waterfront.
