About Matthew Simon

OASIS OF LUXURY Buttonwood Reserve offers luxurious accommodations at a peaceful retreat located in the center of Eleuthera, just 3 miles from Governor’s Harbour airport (GHB).From a high ridge over the Caribbean, the sea-to-sea view is breathtaking. The island at this point is just over a kilometer wide, and beach lovers will need to decide which of two beaches - Caribbean or Atlantic - they prefer.Restaurants and recreational options abound up and down the Queen's Highway. Yet for all the convenience of being located within minutes of Governor's Harbour, the provincial capital, Buttonwood Reserve offers the tranquility of a remote beach-side location. SUCCESSFUL TURNKEY RENTAL PROGRAM Buttonwood Reserve is structured provide owners of these luxurious vacation condominiums with positive economics, while minimizing day-to-day management hassle for owners:Each condominium is individually owned. The property and the Rental Program are managed by the Buttonwood Reserve Condominium Association (HOA), and 100% of the earnings from the Rental Program are distributed to condo owners. Rental performance to date has been strong, and net proceeds (after all costs are taken into account) have been consistently and significantly positive. FUTURE PLANS When completed, Buttonwood Reserve will comprise a total of eight buildings (32 condominium units), of which two are already completed. All eight buildings will enjoy the unique two-ocean view that makes the property so stunning today.The development is well capitalized and has been financed without external debt, so it does not carry the risks that sometimes plague multi-year real estate projects. APPRECIATION POTENTIAL Condo owners at Buttonwood Reserve will enjoy a luxurious, high-end vacation resort for personal enjoyment, short term cash flow and, over time, increased property value as the island continues to develop. Property appreciation is expected to be especially important for owners who invest in the early stages of the development plan, as Buttonwood Reserve continues to develop its reputation as full-service resort complex in the years to come.
