Surrounded by tranquil lakes, on a vast private estate, lies one of the UK’s most prestigious fractional developments. Lower Mill Estate was developed by entrepreneur Jeremy Paxton as an oasis of greenery and peace in the heart of what many would call one of the prettiest regions in the British countryside.
The Estate features a collection of waterside homes where modern architecture meets nature. Guests can enjoy priceless luxury of peace and quiet alongside a choice of activities, as well as a luxury beauty spa and indoor pool.
Lower Mill partnered with the Registry Collection www.theregistrycollection.com last year. Investors at Lower Mill can swap weeks they’re not using and opt for a week on a yacht in the Caribbean , or at one of the Registry Collection’s numerous international luxury resorts. There are two hundred 5-star resorts available within the portfolio, in sought after destinations all over the world, from boutique ski hotels in the US to five star residences in South Africa.
Jeremy Paxton runs Lower Mill Estate as a family-run business and what makes it different from other luxury resorts is not just its size and exclusivity, but the fractional holiday exchange component.
Paxton’s vision from the outset was to harmonise the very modern homes with their magnificent surroundings. He has worked with some of the world’s top architects to build 250 residences in this very private corner of Gloucestershire, making it the largest collection of modernist architecture anywhere in Britain.
The affiliation with The Registry Collection means that owners at Lower Mill can use their fractional exchange option on their properties for up to eight weeks a year, giving them the freedom to enjoy the estate or choose another destination within the Collection, abroad.
Paxton said: "We are able to offer our purchasers so much more flexibility in their property usage, as well as enhancing their luxury lifestyle experience through the fabulous worldwide vacation options and other exclusive membership benefits they can access through The Registry Collection.
"We have given our properties and product greater distinction in a keenly competitive market by being able to deliver greater value to our purchasers at a time when even the affluent consumer expects to get more out of each spend.”
The Lower Mill Estate whole-ownership development comprises four- to eight-bedroom lakeside villa-style properties. Prices range from £425,000 to £1.5 million.
The Estate is 90 minutes from London, which makes it ideal if owners wish to combine a tranquil holiday with a day’s shopping in the capital. The development provides a unique combination of ultra-sophisticated lifestyle and back-to-nature experiences – local wildlife is the furry kind, including badgers, beavers, otters, deer, kingfishers, nightingales, egrets and owls.
Activities include fishing, sailing, canoeing, walking and cycling, while indoors there is an award-winning spa with Pevonia beauty treatment room, sauna and steam room, ‘technogym’, one indoor pool – perfect for British winters - plus two outdoor pools, an eco-pool, workout facility, tennis courts, and concierge service and 24-hour security.
"It was an easy decision to work with The Registry Collection,” said Paxton, “because the programme will give our owners access to the finest vacation resorts around the world, all offering standards of luxury comparable to our own. We’re delighted to be able to offer this service to our owners.”
