Falcon Ridge Offers Elegant Blue Ridge Mountain Living with Limited Development Features

CASHIERS, N.C. – (June 28, 2007) – An upscale lifestyle that retains the natural beauty of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains was the vision Tim Bright had for Falcon Ridge, his 290-acre limited development community – and he was willing to sacrifice more than three-quarters of the potential home sites to make it happen.

“Developing the property to the full allowance of 300 home sites was never what I wanted to do,” said Bright, Owner and Developer of Falcon Ridge. “I scaled down the original allowance to only 60 lots, creating a lighter development and preserving more of the unique natural beauty of this area and community. It is a win-win for everyone.”

Acquired by Bright in 1996 and represented exclusively by Landmark Realty Group, Falcon Ridge encompasses a full 290 acres and is the uppermost piece of a several thousand acre development in the area. At an elevation of more that 4,500 feet above sea level, the gently rolling home sites were platted for ease of building and to take full advantage of the magnificent views each lot has to offer.

The two lots that remain available are considered to be the premier home sites in the community. Lots 12-A and 12-B are estate-sized lots exceeding five acres and featuring panoramic views that sweep across Chimney Top and Whiteside mountains, as well as bold cascading streams and waterfalls. They are priced at $495,000 and $395,000, respectively.

Falcon Ridge residents share a beautiful three-acre meadow with a pavilion and bonfire ring, where they spend time with their families and neighbors. They also enjoy the Sapphire Valley amenities package, which offers recreational activities that appeal to everyone.

“The unique limited development design of Falcon Ridge is a key attractor for residents to the Cashiers region,” said Jane Ebberts, Broker-in-Charge and Owner of Landmark Realty Group, the exclusive representative of Falcon Ridge. “Uniting the natural aspects of the area with nearby fine dining, unique antique and upscale shopping and some of the world’s best golf courses is truly achieving the upscale mountain lifestyle.”

For outdoor lovers, surrounding areas offer 30 waterfalls, including Whitewater Falls, the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi River, as well as Lake Glenville and Lake Toxaway. Nearby Panthertown Valley, 6,700 acres of lush national forest, offers hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and pristine waterfalls. With average temperatures during the winter months ranging from the 30s to mid 40s and a summer ambient temperature of 72 degrees, this region is the perfect place for year-round outdoor activities.
