BETHEL, N.Y., July 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — The Chapin Estate, a prestigious gated community in the Catskills Mountains, has secured financing necessary to begin development on its next phase and to launch an aggressive sales and marketing campaign designed to showcase the community’s exclusivity and idyllic lakefront location.

The Chapin Estate, which is being developed by The Woodstone Companies, recently arranged significant financing which will be used for additional development, and construction of amenities.

To assist with the sales campaign, the community has hired The REvision Group, a Cleveland-based real estate sales and marketing organization led by industry veteran Michael J. Friedman.

The Chapin Estate is situated on more than 2,500 acres of pristine natural habitat and features two vast boating lakes of nearly 2,000 acres. The community is conveniently located only two hours from Manhattan and less than two hours from northern New Jersey and Connecticut.

The Chapin Estate is comprised of five distinct neighborhoods, each featuring five acre homesites either ‘on the lake’ or ‘at the lake.’

Additionally, the community offers a range of amenities including miles of nature-centric hiking, walking and biking trails, freshwater lakes ideal for fishing and boating, a private fly-fishing stream and the Chapin Estate Lake Club, which includes an outdoor pool, kid’s playground, lounging deck and pavilion with a soaring stone fireplace and a members lounge with comprehensive lakefront fitness center.

To date, more than 150 homesites have been sold and 100 homes have been built at The Chapin Estate. The community offers an award-winning home building and design team with more than two decades creating custom and luxury homes ranging from $500,000 to $10 million with square footages between 1,500 and 10,000.

“We’re excited to launch the next phase of our development and begin in earnest a significant sales and marketing campaign,” said Howard Schoor, CEO of Woodstone Lakes Development, LLC and co-founder of The Chapin Estate. “In addition to commencing development of 43 additional lakefront and wooded homesites, we have also partnered with a prestigious financial institution to offer very competitive mortgage financing for our homeowners.”
