If you are looking for property in a wonderful neighborhood and you don’t need it to be ski-in/ski-out, Cordillera is a great place to keep in mind. Cordillera will get you the most for your money, and the area includes some great amenities and membership options. The golf club’s restaurants have recently been upgraded and the club offers some great events, many of which are not golf related. You can sign up for anything from sleigh rides and hikes, to cooking classes. The club membership options have also restructured. A “premier” membership will not only get you privileges at the Cordillera Golf  Clubs, but also at the Roaring Fork Club in Basalt, CO and the Mayacama Club in Sonoma, Ca.  A new “legacy” membership will gain privileges for the adult children of members. The “legacy” members will also be able to integrate the membership into their estate and leave it to their heirs. Contact Coldwell Banker Timberline today for information on all available Cordillera properties.
