Ronava Golf Community - Housing Addition

This will be agreat opportunity for us in Slovakia. With all our current projects, we are developing housing additions in or around the golf courses. Since there are no golf communities in Slovakia at the present, this is a new concept for many, including the authorities, who are constantly asking questions about the development. After talking with many developers and potential investors in the housing areas, it is evident that there will be several obsticles to overcome. Authorities for one, but most importantly, the potential homeowners.

The trend in Slovakia (as many countries in this region) is to put a huge wall around you property so no one can see in, but this also means that no one can see in. And, when you are buying a home on a golf course, besides potentil resale, views tend to be one of the most important factors. You can see we have a big conflict. Not only do we want the home owners to enjoy their view onto the course, we don’t want the golfers to feel they are playing in a prison with walls on either side of the hole. This is a big problem with a few of our courses, but not as much with Ronava since we have created the housing addition seperate from the golf course.

In the Ronava development, we are trying to create a more open community though. We have laid out the addition with three Phases. Each Phase has a park and walking trails that will connect to the next Phase and its respective park area. The main entrance into the community will be the single entrance and lead straight to the community center and golf clubhouse. Access roads will lead of this main road and into each Phase. Each Phase will also be connected through back roads that lead to the community center. All roads will be tree lined and have sidewalks. At the entrance to the community center & clubhouse, the road will bridge across a lake and then split to the right and left, with both having access to the community center & clubhouse.

We hope that by creating a park atmosphere within the development, not backing housing up to each other, and creating several small communities within the larger develoment, we can introduce this new style of house development to Slovakia…No Walls!
