WHY NOW

Generational locals (families that have lived on the same land here since the late 1700’s!) say that the best time to choose your property – to see the real lay of the land in these mountains - is after the leaves have fallen off the trees
No restriction on build time on estate lots
A lasting legacy for the generations
