BENSTEN PIECE TO FOLLOW 8976534...WEATHER AND SPORTS AFTER LIFESTYLES................ BENSTEN BRINGS THE BUCKS BACK HOME Billionaire Aaron Bensten has come back home to the mainland United States, and he has come back home in style. Joining in partnership with Mountain Associates, Ltd. and Woodlands Development Incorporated, Bensten brings his bagful of steel and world-trade bucks to the mountains of Colorado. This month marks the opening of The Victorian - an exclusive housing development guaranteed to appeal to the "glitterati" and ringing a centerpiece 18-hole resort-style golf course. Housing at the development has been limited to less than 150 units virtually assuring that land values will skyrocket in an "only-the-rich-need-apply" environment. The limited housing is certainly by design since Bensten purchased almost 1,000 acres of totally undeveloped land from the federal government not quite two years ago. That purchase has caused many complaints from environmentalists and is still under investigation by Congress. Housing, which runs alongside the heavily wooded course, is based on American Victorian cottage home design of the late 1800's. Considering that the homes are likely to be used only as summer retreats, they are spacious, elegant, and quite unlike the typical condominium/townhome developments that have become hallmarks of recent American golf courses. Bensten, himself, has left his South Seas island retreat, "The Isles," to take up residence at the Victorian's 17th hole. Rumor has it that he intends to take Christmas at the course surrounded by its snowy hills. ========== ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The large evergreen tree object was produced originally by Lee Ritze for his wonderful JNSE version of Merion. The large pine was produced by Paul Conrad for his Oak Creek course. My thanks to both gentlemen. An additional word of gratitude are also extended to Lee and to Tony Woodward for reviewing my work on the course roughly halfway through the project. The course is dedicated to Dave Salamon, who shares patience of pantheonic proportions along with Ted Maiden.
