Blue Ridge Parkway Property
The development looked the best ever, this season. Trees and bushes are maturing and coming back from past construction. Shoulders and slopes were being mowed closer and further back than in the past by the contribution fund. Grass is now covering about all of the construction areas. Snow was pushed by the contribution fund with neighbors helping neighbors back and forth to the entranceway on ATV’s during ice, which helps to bring everyone closer together. Property owners were more involved. So, it appears that the contribution fund is working well without excess expense to property owners. No major road repairs have been necessary, thus far, excepting Little Water Falls. Understanding that we have very little traffic excepting house construction,major road repairs should be minimal.
These developments contain the majority of those things our families learned over 40 years that our customers wanted and needed for prime investments in vacation and retirement property. From the beginning we have tried every way that we knew to build these developments to be something significant. Many developments for vacation property are surveyed, a road roughed-in, and sold out, without any consideration for the customer’s well being in the future. We give deep consideration to every detail, such as; paved roads that would last, asphalt instead of gravel, telephone right-of-ways, power line right-of-ways, shared wells as an alternative, and many other things that make a property owner’s land value increase dramatically for 50 years or more. Our developments now have some 50 houses or so. Fifty or more houses could not have been built and used by now in these secluded areas, unless these developments were planned out in significant detail from the beginning. Getting construction trucks in and out alone, is a major accomplishment in these quaint areas.
We feel that when you evaluate all developments on the Blue Ridge, ours will stand out. Again, we thank you for considering our developments and look forward to having you as a neighbor.
Kindest regards,
Steve Cook
