New Terrazas Photos - Thanks Mark

I am very grateful to Mark Tyers for sending me 5 photos of Terrazas showing really impressive progress on Phase 2 - brickwork up on the 3rd level and also some much better shots of the golf course than I have seen previously.

I am off to La Torre tomorrow for 3 weeks and have finally organised to get onto the resort. Look out for another update & hopefully some decent photos in the next few weeks.

Thanks again Mark.

Hey... that is one decent looking fairway.

Not 100% sure of where the hole goes
but it looks well designed and in great condition

I think this is the closest of the blocks to Phase 1 currently being built.
Looks well progressed since early July when I was there.

Another View of Terrazas

Many thanks to Tim a.k.a. "The 3 Longos" for permission to use this photo. It shows a fair amount of greenery on the golf course from the direction of Phase 1.

It is also possible to pick out the 9 blocks under construction on Phase 2. If you study the photo carefully you and have a look at the plan of the resort you may pick out the spaces where pool areas are to be and it is good to know that it is being constructed as per the plan.

Much more fairway is on view here , and looking in reasonable shape, than I could determine from any point around the perimeter so the latest estimates for some golf (Beginning to Mid 2010) may work out. I am still convinced that there is a long way to go however as Tim says they appear to be getting the finger out and making progress.

For more recent pics there are some excellent shots on http://www.fotothis.com/construction/gallery/terrazas/terrazastim/index.html

I have been looking at pictures of the Hacienda and there has been some change over the last month or so.


The roofs have gone as have several walls and some new block work appears to have been built as well.



As mentioned elsewhere there are rumours that the original plan for the clubhouse has been changed with the new location "closer to the clubhouse" - could this be it? With its location close to the lake it might well be an excellent place for it.

Going to La Torre on 1st August for 3 weeks so I will get an update then and with any luck I will finally gain access to the place!

TERRAZAS - JULY UPDATE ON PHASE 2 & RESORT IN GENERAL

I returned from Murcia last weekend having just completed my purchase of a townhouse at La Torre. It was a very busy week but I found time to take a drive around Terrazas to check on progress on Phase 2.

When I was last there in early June I counted 7 blocks under construction and am pleased to say there are now nine.














































These photos are taken from the far side of the resort. Driving down that road there is a fence being erected outside of the resort that will cut off the road at the far end of the resort from phase 1.

I had thought that this might be the last time I got the chance to drive around but fear not - I did a little further exploring and have found a few different routes so there is every chance that when I head over again on 1st August that I can get close to Phase 2 again.

I made it around to the other side and was slightly surprised to see that most of the 9 blocks had substantial brickwork started mostly to the ground floor but on one there was quite an amount to the first floor also.

























































































A final piece of construction news is that work has started on the crumbling building that was the "Old Manor House." Quite where it fits in the plans now is anybodies guess but I did see on another forum that there is a plan to move the clubhouse to a location closer to the Town Centre. Could this be it? Time will tell.


















If you enlarge the pic above you will see a guy working away on it. Below is a closer shot from the Godfather:

























As always Mi Amigo - El Don the Godfather has contributed his photos and as a Phase 1 owner he has access to the interior of Terrazas and here are a selection of his photographs.








































































These are taken from the smaller of the two Islands where El Don is due to take up residence.

He has also sent various pics showing progress or otherwise around the golf course. There are undoubtedly some substantial stretches of grass however it appears that PW are now telling people a range of possible dates from 9 holes open by Christmas to the entire course by mid 2010 and various other options - take your pick but as I have said before - don't book your clubs on a plane anytime soon with a view to playing Terrazas. Sorry - can't all be good news.























































































I hope to have permission to reproduce another picture soon which shows a much more attractive view.
