Leigh and Brooks had purchased a lot at the resort called The Cliffs, www.thecliffsresort.com many years ago and were curious about its value and what was happening at the resort now so we met them there. The resort is located about 60 miles west of Fort Worth and near the town of Mineral Wells. For those of us who became helicopter pilots, Mineral Wells was the home of Fort Wolters and where many of us did our first helicopter training for the Vietnam war.
They just came over from Dallas and we stayed at the RV park on the property of the resort; this is a huge piece of property with all the amenities. Here are the land owners on their piece of the rock.
The resort is really beautiful and the waterfront lots are in demand and quite spectacular with some multi-million dollar homes overlooking the Possum Kingdom reservoir.
The lake is large with a number of private establishments like The Cliffs around it.
However, their lot which is on the main road into the resort is not one of the more highly sought after ones, and there are probably 500 lots in the place that individuals might want to sell; making thiers not too desireable. They do have an option to trade the lot through the resort for a condo timeshare and the condos there are quite nice with views over the marina and lake from 200 feet above. This might be a better option and they might get some use out of their investment, especially if they don't intend to build anytime soon.
It was a fun weekend and great to be back in the RV for a few days ... especially with gas at $1.49 a gallon!!
