Authentic Mountain Properties Set to Revitalize
The “Historic Character” of Pocono Home Building Pocono Pines — Real estate investment marketing firm Authentic Mountain Properties plans to bring back the historic character of home building in the Poconos. The company’s focus is to seek investors for the land purchase, new construction, home furnishing, marketing, and property resale of brand new “historic cottage bungalows” in an effort to revitalize the authentic character of how homes looked in the Poconos back in the early 1900s. “This is a wonderful opportunity to be part of re-creating and preserving the authentic character of homes in our area in a positive way,” explains company president Michael Dembinski. Authentic Mountain Properties will offer home construction services through local custom home builder Rinehimer Construction, Inc. Rinehimer Construction is currently a preferred builder in many of the area’s historic communities, including Pocono Manor and Buck Hill Falls. Property sales will be offered through Spread Eagle Realty, where authentic homes starting at 1,800 square feet will be marketed by Authentic Mountain Properties at Keswick Pointe, the area’s newest neighborhood, in Blakeslee, PA (by Hannig Development LLC). Keswick Pointe offers homeowners a great environment in which to live while protecting the quality of their new home through the best planning practices. Real estate investors who want to learn more about how they can assist Authentic Mountain Properties in revitalizing the historic character of homes in Pocono communities can contact Michael Dembinski at michael.dembinski@yahoo.com, for more information. Prices starting in the mid-$100,000s.
