Minto grand opening event for new villa models at The Isles of Collier Preserve
Naples, FL — The Isles of Collier Preserve grand opening event on February 7 to unveil four new luxury villa models was attended by more than 500. Hundreds of visitors also took guided electric boat tours of the Cypress Waterway, nature trail tours, and tours of the award-winning, 7,330-square-foot Discovery Sales Center with its recreated natural cypress wetland.
One-story villas range from 1,565 square feet to 1,862 square feet under air, and include two to three bedrooms, den or hobby room, great room, dining room, two baths, covered lanai and two-car garage.
According to Minto Senior Vice President William Bullock, “Buyer interest and sales activity at The Isles of Collier Preserve has been consistently high since opening last year. Minto has expanded product offerings to provide buyers with a wide range of home options and pricing. “Pricing on our new luxury villas starting in the mid-$300's represents an unprecedented value in the Naples market.”
A recognized leader in green construction, Minto now offers 43 innovative, energy-efficient home designs at The Isles of Collier Preserve. These include villas, coach home and expanded selection of single-family homes. Homes complement their natural surroundings in a style inspired by the classic coastal architecture of Old Naples. Eight new luxury single-family home models will open later this spring, and will be showcased in the new Model Court.
The Isles Club at The Isles of Collier Preserve is slated for completion in the fall of 2015. Amenities include a luxurious, resort-style swimming pool and lap pool with private, poolside cabanas; tennis and bocce ball courts; fitness lawn and lushly landscaped event courtyard, and kayak and paddleboard launch.
