About Tim Bright, Developer

The Preserve at Rock Creek would not be possible without Tim Bright. His vision began at the top of Toxaway Mountain as he was looking down from Falcon Ridge. An RV campground was about to open in what is now known as the Equestrian Center. It immediately became Tim’s mission to remove the campground and put the property into permanent preservation.

New Home Sales Graph (1963-2010)

There is no mistake that over the last three years, we have been in a real estate recession that runs deeply, nationally, regionally, and locally.  Some markets have been hit harder and some markets are recovering faster, but there remain significant discounts from the peaks of 2007-8. The Toxaway-Sapphire-Cashiers-Highlands market is no exception. Pricing points have dropped dramatically on a macro level, but every community is its own market.  That is not to say that communities that … [Read more...]
