Builders are rising to meet the challenge, as homeowners pursue more resort options
According to Forbes, as more and more homeowners pursue resort homes and lake-front views, builders are developing more ways to bring the waterfront experience to them. One option is solar-powered living on a private, residential resort in the Bahamas’ Elizabeth Island, offering carbon-neutral homes. The residential resort club will offer 5,900 square foot four-bedroom residences, in addition to 8 six-bedroom estate homes. The club’s benefits include a fleet of solar-powered and crewed yachts and electric day boats, as well as a beach club, spa, and restaurant.
In Panama, another builder has created a line of floating homes, Jetsons-style pod-like dwellings that stand almost eight feet above ocean waves and offer 830 square feet of living space. Still other options include Costa Elena, a remote community in Costa Rica, which offers exquisite off-the-grid homes with private balconies, terraces, and infinity pools, along with kite surfing, mountain biking, fishing, snorkeling, hiking, and more.
As long as real estate has existed, countless well-heeled home buyers have sought waterfront real estate facing oceans, lakes, rivers and more. New ways to get close to the water continue to emerge, including pod-like domiciles raised above the ocean blue, sea-faring homes and residences that come complete with solar-powered yachts.
