June 24, 2005 -- Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of BentwaterÒ on Lake Conroe for its innovative, educational television series “Great Taste.” The residential community and golf courses will be featured in a segment on “Places to Relocate” in the America’s Best series.
Less than an hour from the city of Houston, Bentwater is a 1,400-acre lakefront community pioneered by Belin & Associates, and is the latest in a long line of successful master-planned communities. For over 50 years, the company has perfected the modern-day country club community by shifting the emphasis from mere “sticks and bricks” into a more complete way of life centered around lakes, community centers and golfing.
Surrounded by natural beauty---such as the 160,000-acre Sam Houston National Forest and the 22,000-acre Lake Conroe--Bentwater provides outdoor activities for adults and children alike. With amenities like the sports club, tennis courts and swimming pools, among others, residents have the opportunity to sunbathe and take in breathtaking sunsets, or enjoy a relaxing massage at the state of the art spa facilities. In addition, Bentwater is the only gated community in Texas to offer three golf courses, one of which is a “core” course. This unique course pays to tribute to the “golden age of golf course design” when golf courses were laid out on virgin land without encumbrances from houses or streets. Bruce Belin, President of Belin & Associates, describes it as, “classic golf for the passionate golfer.”
The secluded island in the lake is “the most magical part of Bentwater” to many, filled with childhood memories for those who spent vacations there with their families. While rustic, and accessible by boat or bridge, Benthaven Island now offers homesites on its 33 acres.
From low-maintenance garden homes to grand waterfront estates, Bentwater is rich in homesite selection. With prices ranging from $200,000 to more than $2 million, Bentwater offers a variety of housing locations, whether it be amid the tranquil splendor of mature hardwoods and towering pines or on a picturesque fairway. The community is large enough to accommodate a variety of housing needs and interests and is in convenient, yet comfortable, proximity to a major interstate. These assets make this an ideal area to get away from it all while still having access to essentials.
With its sprawling exclusive golf courses and beautiful open views, it is quite evident that this is no ordinary lakefront community.
