Tera Miranda Shores offes lake living, in a Grand style

Is now the time to improve your lifestyle? Purchase the weekend lake home you always wanted? If the answer is yes, look no further than Tera Miranda Shores on Grand Lake in Oklahoma.

The visionaries who bring you Loch Lloyd Country Club, The National Golf Club of Kansas City and Sporting KC have created a special place less than three hours from Kansas City.

“We have created a carefree lifestyle in a private gated community with all the amenities you would want in a lake house,” said Dale Brouk of FiveStar Lifestyles.

Once you arrive and the gates close, the stress of everyday life vanishes and you begin to enjoy the amenities which include walking trails, a zero-entry pool, a children’s splash pool, children’s playground, health club and amenity building.

Within a 5-minute golf cart ride you can dine at one of Grand Lake’s finest casual lakefront restaurants, The Quarterdeck, or be on your boat to watch the sunset while on Grand Lake.

“In addition to these amenities, we also offer our homebuyer maintenance for their boat, a ship store, boat ramps, on-site fueling station and 10 fully remodeled lodges so you and your guests can enjoy everything Tera Miranda has to offer,” Brouk said.

As you enter Tera Miranda Shores you will notice the well-appointed entry monuments, meticulous landscaping, Oklahoma Craftsmen architecture and well maintained exteriors. You feel a level of comfort, knowing as an owner you never have to take time out of your life to fix or clean gutters, mow, mulch, trim and fertilize your lawn.

“The landscaping and exterior finishes are just the beginning; walk in the front door and you will see quality throughout,” said Kim Clark who markets the property. “In our three existing models you will find high ceilings, large expanses of windows and efficient living spaces with the kitchen, great room and master suite on one level. The homes feature custom cabinetry, granite counter tops, hardwood floors and exquisite tile work.”

It is hard to imagine leaving Tera Miranda Shores, but golfing enthusiasts will have to make the short 10-minute drive to Shangri-La Golf Club and Resort (shangrilaok.com). The resort boasts 27 championship holes, a full service clubhouse, casual and fine dining and a golf experience second to none in the Grand Lake region.

“If you love golf, this should be on your bucket list,” Clark said.

If you don’t want to drive to play golf, you can take your boat on a short 10-minute cruise across Grand Lake to Patricia Island Golf Club (patriciaisland.com) or 15 minutes down Grand Lake to Shangri-la, where they will pick you up at the dock in a golf cart and take you to the first tee.

Tera Miranda Shores is located on Grand Lake in the northeastern corner of the Oklahoma. The less than three-hour drive from downtown Kansas City takes you south on Interstate 49, then west on Interstate 44 until you exit on U.S. 59. Once off Interstate 44 it is an easy 15-minute drive on U.S. 59 to Route 125. The winding around on narrow streets to get to your lake home is a thing of the past when you become part of Tera Miranda Shores.

Grand Lake was created in 1939 with the construction of The Pensecola Dam. The dam created a lake with 46,500 surface area acres providing the boater with a large main channel. This wide-open channel gives the boater a sense of freedom when on the lake versus other lakes which have many coves and narrow channels.

Grand Lake continues to gain in popularity for the boating enthusiasts. At Grand Lake you can enjoy the lake without any concern for over-crowding, even on Holiday Weekends.

“Why Tera Miranda, why now?” Clark said. “We have three models ready for occupancy ranging in price from $189,900 to $399,900. You can buy now and enjoy the beautiful fall colors, a peaceful cruise on the lake, gaming at one of the lake’s casinos and/or golf at one of the lake’s many championship venues.

“If you are thinking ahead to next season and want to have your dream lake home ready for occupancy, you may choose from one of our lots and several open floor plans. Contract now and be in before the 4th of July.”
