Cheapest is 149K for 3 weeks a year. Wonder what the yearly fee is....and possible additional charges down the road. I think you could rent a place for 3 weeks cheaper in the long run. But being on the water would be a plus.

 

[Mandelon]

Interesting concept.

Hope for good neighbors I suppose.

 

[LuauLounge]

It all comes down to their "SIM" fee.

 

[WildWilly]

so $1428/week for the cheapest one plus yearly fees.....when you take it down that far its really not too crazy considering the cheapest one is 4bd

 

[Gonefishin5555]

Does it come with some strippers or do you supply your own?

 

[69hondo]

Where will these be on the lake? Cool concept I guess but the more they commercialize the lake the busier it will get.
I bet they will sell like crazy.
Rack storage next.

How’d you arrive at that number?
Seems low?

 

[Gramps]

a stationary houseboat, with neighbors way too close...................no thanks

 

[WildWilly]

says its a 35 year lease program, 3 weeks a year is 105 weeks divided by the $150k, then plus the yearly fees which I'm sure won't be cheap. But then again I guess there is some assumption on my part that the 35 year lease is the full length of time for the $150k

Just never understold the appeal of a timeshare. And at the end of that 35 years, you have a worthless hulk that needs to be thrown in the trash. No thanks.

according to them its not a timewhare, you are a co-owner of a certain percentage based on your buy in. for the cheapest one they are basically putting a price tag of $1.9 million on the unit. it says 60 day is 1/6th owner.

 

[Heylam]

Man, Havasu sure is changing.

these will be next to the cabana boats in the channel....

 

[Cole Trickle]

Havasu....lol

The world is changing seems people need to squeeze every bit of profit from every avenue possible these days.

 

[Gonefishin5555]

most of the stuff on Powell is shared ownership? You can buy a week for pretty cheap on an older boat. Or pay up the ass up to 200K FOR ONE WEEK

 

[Cobalt232]

Do these move?

1.9 million!! They are smokin dope. Co owner, time share. Basically the same in the end. no Thanks either way.

 

[Gramps]

no mention of them being moveable of the web site

They can word it however they would like in the end it’s the same shit.

 

[Heylam]

Havasu....lol

But Havasu was so resistant to change for the longest time. Now, they’re catching up for lost time.

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

So you just spent upwards of $1 million for a bad ass lot in a gated, high end waterfront community and now they are selling timeshares in the same community?

 

[RIVERBORN]

Shit is getting out of hand……..

 

[sirbob]

Is this a drivable house boat that will have to rent a spot in the marina ? Or are they planning on building their own dock someplace ?

Its not for me but if someone else gets one, I’ll hang out on it for a week.

 

[Havasu blue label]

Looking for money

 

[rivermobster]

Clearly these are not being marketed to power boaters...

each Model comes standard with: 6-seater Golf Cart, 2 Kayaks, and 2 Stand Up Paddleboards

 

[Gonefishin5555]

driving the golf cart onto the dock while wasted. what can go wrong?

 

[One2go]

When monsoon season hits could get interesting,not exactly sheltered harbor. Lol

 

[prorider]

They say there’s lots of them at antelope point on the bottom. But it’s 500 feet deep.

 

[Taboma]

Anybody know where the A/Cs or Heatpumps are located ? Given they're on the water, water source HPs would be the most efficient, but more spendy up front.
Wonder if each unit will have it's own greywater/sewer lift pump system ?
Interesting concept, wonder if any the really high dollar rollers, with a mansion above, will simply buy one for a weekender and fulltime dock and forgo the remaining co-owners ?

 

[SJP]

Have any of you guys stayed in a houseboat in Antelope Harbor - Powell? It is fun for 3-4 days... One step up from camping in your back yard as a kid. Supply runs with golf carts at all times of the day and night (others doing the same). Not my deal or idea of a good time. In terms of time share - honestly April-Oct would be the useable pool.

Good point - it would be cool if @RiverDave bought one of these for us to hang out at.

Well, maybe for you, but he'd never invite me

 

[RVR SWPR]

Not really clear who offering this “Time Share”? Doubtful Riviera. Riviera i think 40 year lease with options. All indications so far if Riviera built Hotel it would be first class like everything they have done. 1000s of people would enjoy that hotel over the 40 + years.

The small town charm has & is fading real fast.
I think the Orange County Grey Poupon style builds on the island pointed this town down that path in all honesty.

 

[RiverDave]

While the boats technically have motors they aren’t really drivable. Meaning they will be parked in the slip permanently.

The slips themselves are on the right wing of docks kinda back behind that island so it is sheltered.. not that it matters the breakwater they have is no joke.

I’m not sure how they are handling the sewage etc..

This is a partnership with Bravata yachts, who builds all the first class houseboats on powell. I’m sure the units will be over the top nice.

I have seen the renderings of the docks etc.. I’m not 100% sure how you turn the golf cart around once you get out there?

You will end up driving down the dock that has the covered slips (party row) to get out to the houseboats..

 

[RiverDave]

Here’s another rendering that was sent to me awhile back..

 

[LuauLounge]

Doesn’t look wide enough for golf carts. Bet they have dock carts for supplies from the pk lot to the boats like most marinas do.

 

[grumpy88]

Soon the lake will be like the seen from caddy shack employee pool day . 1 day a month for the common folk to boat . Slow boats will need 3x5 flags so there not run over . Unless your making money on this I don't see how it benefits the town

Awesome. So with my premier membership on RDP do I get a week for free or something?

 

[pronstar]

If I was interested, I’d start by looking at what a 35 year old houseboat looks like…that’s what these are gonna look like.

The price premium paid, will continue to be paid regardless of the boat’s condition.

Grey puopon? Are you referencing the color?

Referencing being able to share the mustard with your neighbor without exiting your houses.

Kinda like signing up to own a motorhome for 35 years

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Before or after rack storage?

Asking for a friend.

That strangers use 49 weeks out of each year.

 

[DrunkenSailor]

There's a reason why you don't swim in.marinas. there's usually enough voltage in the water to pucker your sphincter and when its.more people.die. a bunch of 4 bedroom water mansions all sucking dock power sounds like a bad idea. Do they do this anywhere else?

 

[ELCHINGONROGERS]

Man, Havasu sure is changing.

havasu is starting to be a joke used to fun now to many retards

 

[DB / HAV]

Can the owners rent them out? Can’t imagine being that close to a raging party after spending that kind of money. This is an interesting concept

Don’t worry they will age well like everything else in the desert
