Less than an hours drive from Memphis, fifteen minutes from the City of Bolivar, in Southwestern Tennessee, the gated golf course community of Grand Valley Lakes is in development because many people are sick and tired of the city life. Why deal with problems like overpopulation, smog, bad sanitation and a host of other discomforts when Grand Valley Lakes offers all of the benefits of the city life without the trials and tribulations.

Lakes and Rivers

According to the Official Grand Valley Lakes Website, this subdivision "has three scenic lakes on it, one that is 225 acres, one that is about 20 acres, and Lake Duffer." There is even a marina with covered slips, fishing, and beaches to relax on. Even more exciting, the Hatchie River is only a few miles away. Because it's the longest free-flowing tributary of the lower Mississippi, the River is the largest forested floodplain in the State of Tennessee. The Hatchie River has not been altered by humans, meaning the natural cycles of the seasons and floods created a very rich habitat that many species of animals are thriving in. Of course, Grand Valley Lakes is miles away from this. The subdivision is not in the flood plain at all, and is a very safe distance from both safe from The Hatchie's, as well as other Three Lakes' flood cycles. These are simply wonderful places to have some great fun!

Golf Course

Grand Valley Lakes is home to Deer Creek Golf Club. The 18 hole, par 72 USGA rated championship golf course has five sets of tees from 5142 to 7000, and received 3 ½ stars in Fodor's 2004 Golf Digest of Best Places to Play. (Official Deer Creek Golf Course Website). There will be a new clubhouse by the end of 2008. However, the current clubhouse has many great features, such as a grand banquet hall, offices, rooms, gyms and kitchens. The new clubhouse will have even more features!

Investment

Grand Valley Lakes is a great investment as well. Real Estate prices are very low, especially compared to all the perks you get. Silver Discount Properties is selling some of the few remaining lots in this gated subdivision. Buying land here and building a home on it will cost less than just buying a ready to go home. This means a few things:

You can live here at a great price.

You can buy land, build a house, and sell it for a profit.

You can buy land and flip it for a profit.

You can buy land, build a house, wait a few years, and sell at the right time. This would potentially yield a very lucrative profit.

And you can simply buy the land at today's low price, wait a few years, and resell it for many times over what you bought it for.

By its very definition, an investment has the possibility to lose. Any investment does. However, I believe Grand Valley Lakes is a great investment with a low risk involved. As the saying goes, "They aren't making land anymore." The demand for land and homes in areas such as Grand Valley Lakes - places that are secure and gated with rivers, lakes, golf course and other amenities - will only rise over time while the supply will decrease over time. This means the area has the potential to be worth much more than it is today.

Health and Security

Grand Valley Lakes has 24/7 on-call paramedics, a fire department, and even Air-Evac service so that in case of an emergency, you can get to the hospital quickly and safely. The Gated Community also has 24/7 security and patrol cars.

Needless to say, Grand Valley Lakes is a beautiful, safe and fun place to live, retire, or invest in.
