• Mexico FIRST ALERT • Mexico FIRST ALERT • Mexico FIRST ALERT • Last Homes at Sonterra at These Incredible Turn-Key Prices! The villas that Jorge is building are “small mansions” of elegant, colonial, May 8, 2007 Dear Mexico First Alert Reader, More than half of the beautifully-designed, rock-solid, and eco-friendly homes in Sonterra’s first release have been sold. But Jorge Sanchez, the principle developer of this Mexican highland oasis just outside San Miguel de Allende, tells us that, despite rising material costs and skyrocketing appreciation in the San Miguel market, he’s holding the line on prices for the remaining Phase I homes. In fact, his last nine custom-built homes, available in four beautiful colonial styles, are still available at the turn-key price of just $125 per square foot…a remarkable price considering the quality of Jorge’s green construction, the high-priced San Miguel market, and the fact that these homes are ready to move into when Jorge delivers them to you. At delivery, your home is beautifully landscaped and comes with a complete set of appliances…washer, dryer, refrigerator, oven and range with vent hood, and dishwasher, installed and ready to use. But not only has Jorge held the line on prices…he’s also continued his program of paying all closing costs for anyone joining the Sonterra community. This amounts to an $8,000 savings all told. Sonterra is a fully gated and secured community featuring 85 one- and two-story villas, with underground utilities, flagstone streets, and paths paved with sturdy-but-forgiving crushed granite for easy walking. This will be an eco, pedestrian-only community--to reduce pollution--but there will be chauffeurs and bellhops to park your car, shuttle you to your villa, and help you with your packages. The villas that Jorge is building are “small mansions” of elegant, colonial, Mexican-style architecture with top-quality authentic materials. Innovative new construction technologies provide increased sound and temperature insulation. New eco-products such as radiant heaters and water-conservation equipment help protect the natural resources without sacrificing the conveniences of modern luxury lifestyles. Everything at Sonterra--from the larger-than-average bathrooms and kitchens to advanced eco-recycling systems--meets or exceeds U.S. uniform building codes. (Jorge also owns a construction company in Texas, and he knows what he’s doing.) Sonterra meets the stringent requirements of the U.S. Green Building Program with three and four Green Stars, as well as ADA (Americans with Disabilities) standards. Satellite telephone and television and high-speed Internet hookups are being installed. At Sonterra, no need (or desire) has been neglected. With all these features, and at these prices, anyone interested in a quality lifestyle in one of Mexico’s most beautiful and popular spots should take a look at Sonterra. It’s a one-of-a-kind offering in a stunning setting. But act now--the remainder of Sonterra’s first release will go fast, and Jorge will eventually have to raise prices to keep pace with the rising market and material prices. For more information on these remaining first-release homes at Sonterra. Best Regards, Dan Prescher P.S.
