Sat, 03/07/2015 - 8:45am

If all this snow has you dreaming of travel, then Heartwood’s 2015 Vacation Property Raffle could be your ticket. This year’s offerings are almost too good to be true — Boston, Manhattan, Washington, D.C., Ireland, the French Alps, southern Italy — each including cash for traveling expenses.

A maximum of 200 tickets will be sold for each property, on sale now through April 3. This raffle is available only via Heartwood’s website at www.heartwoodtheater.org, though actual payment with check is available for those who prefer.

Tickets for the Boston location are $25 each, tickets for the other five are $50 each.

Winning tickets will be drawn at Heartwood’s Office, 18 Biscay Road, on Wednesday, April 8 at 5:30 p.m. Open to the public. Winners will be notified immediately and need not be present to win.

Here in the states, there is a weekend stay in Boston (with $500 traveling money), at the College Club of Boston, 44 Commonwealth Avenue; in the heart of Manhattan, you could win a 3-night stay (with $1,000 expense money) in a 2,000 square foot condo on 7th Avenue; or a one week stay in a lovely apartment on Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C. ($1,000 expense money), available through prime cherry blossom season, next spring.

The three European locations, each with $1,000 expense money include a new property in County Galway, Ireland at the Currarevagh House, and back by popular demand from last year’s raffle, the chalet in Les Carroz, French Alps and the luxury guest villa, Guesthouse Salento, in Salento, Apulia, Southern Italy.

Property availability varies by location; vacation times to be scheduled by the winners, directly with the property owners.
