Web designers click Mountain Falls
Because of technology, the Web site developers Jason and Kelly Odom are able to work wherever there is an Internet connection, giving them flexibility to live out of an RV for several years while traveling through more than 20 states in search of their home.
Following research of real estate opportunities, the couple decided to take a break in their RV lifestyle last fall when they purchased a home within Mountain Falls, a Pahrump master-planned community.
“One of the things that we like about living in Pahrump and Mountain Falls is that we are close to hiking, several trailheads and to California. It is very peaceful here,” Jason Odom said, adding that they were familiar with Southern Nevada since they have visited two months per year for the past 13 years and have owned a condo in Las Vegas.
They selected Plan One at William Lyon Homes’ Tramonto neighborhood, where homes are priced from the mid-$200,000s.
The 1,970-square-foot, single-story design features three bedrooms, two baths and a three-car garage. The Odoms converted one of the bedrooms into a home office, from which they operate several Web sites.
“One thing that we really like is that we were able to afford a new home with a pool-size lot. We really like to spend time outside. Our backyard is a place where we can relax. We have finished landscaping our backyard and decided to put in a hot tub and a built an outdoor kitchen,” Jason Odom said.
Kelly Odom said she likes the convenience of being able to access a private fitness center and its cardio and weight equipment at the Mountain Falls clubhouse.
Other residents-only amenities located within the clubhouse include a lounge area with pool table and big-screen television, a multipurpose room and an outdoor aquatic center’s 25-yard lap pool and spa for adults, plus a family pool and interactive splash-and-spray area.
The community also has Mountain Falls Grill Room, which is open to the public. It overlooks an 18-hole golf course, where annual, six-month, three-month and monthly golf club memberships are offered to residents at a discounted rate, which include unlimited golf cart and greens fees. Golf memberships to nonresidents and daily greens fees are also available.
