LAKE TAHOE, Nev. – (Sept. 25, 2007) – Chase International is thrilled to announce its partnership with Ameya Preserve, a pristine eco-friendly 11,000-acre development located in the Upper Yellowstone region of Montana. As the exclusive real-estate agency for the region, Chase will aid with the sale of homes and home sites within the development.“Ameya Preserve is a breathtaking development offering a cultural experience in a rural setting,” said Shari Chase, owner of Chase International. “There are several ownership options for buyers to consider. From custom lots and estate lots to pre-designed homes, people can now experience the opportunity to own a piece of this truly original community which focuses on culture, conservation, exploration and interaction with Montana’s splendid wilderness.”All 300 intimate home-site locations border preserve land and offer expansive views of the rolling topography, providing the perfect balance of incredible scenery, cool temperatures and a comfortable elevation. To date, the development has attracted environmentally conscious buyers who have a passion for the arts, sciences, music and outdoor activities. Less than 10 percent of the 11,000 acres of pristine land will be developed and the community has been designed according to the most-advanced efforts in conservation land planning. Ameya is careful to provide green-building guidelines, energy-conservation measures, including organic greenhouses and wind power for the entire community, and the most-ambitious “Go Zero” carbon-neutral program ever initiated for a residential community. This program will offset all the CO2 emissions from all the families of Ameya Preserve for their entire lifetimes.“Important to Ameya Preserve is the potential for human relationships and community,” said Ameya founder Wade Dokken. “Chase International understands this and communicates well the premier mountain lifestyle we are offering to our home buyers.”Custom lots are situated in several settings, from the edge of an open meadow to the shelter of aspen trees, and range from two to five acres. Every lot features award-winning design from Ameya Preserve’s internationally recognized land planners. Estate lots are prime, five-to-10-acre sites offering the utmost privacy, premier views and convenient access to community amenities. Pre-designed homes are placed on half-acre lots and range from 2,800 to 4,200 square feet. Each home features outdoor living space, interiors by designer Silfer Designs out of Vail, Colo. and the finest available appliances and furnishings.Community life will revolve around the Village, amid glorious views of Wineglass Mountain and the Absarokas. Ameya Preserve’s mix of amenities and programming truly sets the community apart and reflects its commitment to human relationships and community. Ameya brings together residents and their families with leaders in the arts and sciences. Members can fly-fish on the Yellowstone River with Angler of the Year Craig Matthews; enjoy a summer music program directed by international conductor, Peter Oundjian; or participate in a dinosaur excavation with world-renowned paleontologist, Jack Horner.Ameya Preserve is using limited, carefully designed development as a funding source to save this land and its wildlife.
