The new private residence club, located in the Sebago Lake Region of Maine, is a partnership between DCP International and Maine locals Perry and Melinda Williams. The club will offer lakefront estate style homes and is due to launch in the summer of 2009.

"All of our properties will feature private lake frontage and docks, complemented by exquisite furnishings and design," says Perry Williams. "The lack of new construction makes Maine Lakefront Club an environmentally friendly project, and the use of existing homes means we'll have some of the most desirable locations available in the Sebago Lake Region." The estate-style homes will have an average price of $1.5 million - deeded, shared ownership is available for $275,000. The Williams are in the process of closing on the first home, and will add more properties to the Club's portfolio as demand necessitates.

In an unusual move for a residence club, Maine Lakefront Club will offer a dog-friendly vacation home experience. As pet owners, the Williams recognize that including the family dog is integral to the lakefront vacation experience. "Sebago Lake provides as much adventure for dogs as it does for families," Williams explains. "This type of vacationing would be incomplete for our members without their best friend."

The Williams have committed to donating one percent of gross profits to The Lakes Environmental Association based in Bridgton, ME, and staff will manage the properties in an eco-friendly manner. "Maine lakes have provided years of enjoyment for our family and our pets," Melinda Williams says. "We want to ensure that the lakes remain pristine for future generations of Maine enthusiasts."

Maine Lakefront Club is a joint venture with DCP International pioneer of the private residence club concept. In 1991, DCP founded the world's first PRC, the Deer Valley Club, in Deer Valley, UT and has since consulted with developers on dozens of residence clubs worldwide.
