Beckley Ridge Gets New Listing Agent

The first builders of the 55-and-over homes at Beckley Ridge had sold 22 homes before they went bankrupt in 2008. Coldwell Banker Premier Real Estate bought the property from the bank and construction work is beginning again.

The homes were listed on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and there was an immediate response from potential homebuyers. Also, people who were originally interested in buying before the bankruptcy have been coming back.

The development sits high atop the hill on Beckley Road, far enough away from the Berlin Fairgrounds to avoid the once-a-year noise but near enough to enjoy some breathtaking vistas to the east. 

The future construction will be divided into phases. Phase one and two will have 30 houses for sale. Phase three will have approximately 54 town houses and phase four and five will have free standing homes. A few of the amenities available for home buyers are underground utilities, public water and public sewers, snow removal, trash removal, and lawn care.

 Realtor Nicholle Dagata of Berlin hopes there will be a change in age for the buyers of future town houses.

"We hope that 20 percent of the townhouses will be for individuals age 40 and over," Dagata said.

Two of the first things Premier Real Estate did were to put in mailboxes and trees for the new owners. People also went door to door to meet the community already living there, checking to make sure no one had any problems.

"Everyone loves it here," she said. "It's quiet, peaceful and the view is wonderful." 

Dagata went on to say that everyone on the project is new. No one from the previous contractor will be working on the new construction. "The right team is working on Beckley Farms now," said Dagata. "We're really moving forward."
