View of the Mountain Ranges from Preserve at Rock Creek
Around the chic mountain village of Cashiers, North Carolina, fashionable development keeps pace with the growing demand for vacation and retirement homes. Easily understandable considering Cashiers is located in the waterfall area of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where high elevation lakes, streams, and rivers abound. Adding to the natural attractions are trendy shops and fine dining establishments that beckon the thousands of affluent, seasonal residents and a multitude of visitors. The real estate prices maintain an equally high elevation in comparison to other area of Western North Carolina. Because the prime land prices are higher, the building densities of the communities are maximized. Bucking that trend however, is one very special development, The Preserve at Rock Creek.
Tim Bright, Developer with Vision of Land Preservation
"I went with the premise, concerning density, that less is more" said Tim Bright (read more about Tim's vision), the developer of The Preserve at Rock Creek. "I wanted to preserve the pristine beauty of this exceptional 320 acre parcel, so I decided that of the 23 lots, we would offer 13, five-acre estate sites on which a home and a guest home could be built. Additionally we have a ten acre site available that allows for both a home and a guest home that would be ideal for an equestrian loving family because of it’s proximity to the eight acre fenced meadow. The remaining 215 acres I committed to a conservation easement, which means that it is permanently protected from any, and all, future development. That ensures an owner's children, their children's children, and all the future generations of their family will be able to enjoy the same natural beauty that exists today."
Large Rock Formations are Just Some of the Natural Amenities on the Property
Preserve it he did, and the result is an extraordinary harmony of nature and mountain home sites. Hiking trails provide owners and their guests with access to the cascading waterfalls, amazing rock formations, and ancient natural beauty. Peregrine falcons and hawks soar overhead. Deer, wild turkey, fox, and pheasants are among the plentiful wildlife that can be regularly seen all over the Preserve. Hundreds of native fruit trees and other food sources were purposely planted throughout the forest to enrich the habitat.
Preserve at Rock Creek Gated Entrance
With the gated stone entrance located on the primary artery, Highway 64, The Preserve at Rock Creek is particularly well located. Within minutes there is a post office, gas station, convenience store, hardware store, and various shops. The town of Cashiers is only a fifteen minute drive. Yet beginning less than a mile from the Preserve entrance, up the paved road through the Preserve, spectacular long range views appear. This quality of breathtaking visual rewards are usually earned in other areas of Cashiers only by winding around countless curves for much further distances, requiring significantly more driving time.
Rock Mountain Cottage Beautifully Framed by the Woods
It was no accident that these magnificent vistas are destined to be enjoyed from the comfort of the few privileged mountain estate homes that will be built on the Preserve. Site elevations range from 3200' to 4400'. Each five or ten acre estate site is already permitted for a total of seven bedrooms, to be allocated between a guest house and a primary home. Underground utilities and community water are provided to each site.
Has the Preserve at Rock Creek emphatically bucked the trend or is just a forerunner of the green movement in America? Let’s certainly hope that it’s the latter.
