2009 Year End at Headwaters at Banner Elk

   Posted by: Headwaters    in Available Properties, Headwaters at Banner Elk

Developer - Headwaters at Banner Elk

The Year 2009 witnessed a sea change in the real estate business including that of second home communities.  The list of floundering and bankrupt communities grew steadily through the year and included many high profile communities.  However, it appears that things have begun to stabilize.  At least that’s what we’re seeing at The Headwaters.
 
Our tour traffic and scheduled appointments for January and February are up over the same time last year.  We ended 2009 with 12 closed arms length transactions and went into 2010 with five pending transactions that will close before the end of the month.  It is important to point out that these transactions are “arms length” when comparing the sales claims of other communities.  There are those in this business that advertise sales figures that include inter-company sales or transactions with closely held parties in an effort to boost their sales figures.  (Remember Enron?)  Our advice is to do your homework and ask area Realtors, folks at the local Chamber of Commerce, the county inspections department, local builders and others in the business as to the most stable and successful communities.  If you do so with The Headwaters, you’ll hear that we are leading the way in regard to sales and new home construction activity in the Banner Elk area.
 
In 2009 alone, we saw construction start on six new homes, five of which are custom homes for existing property owners.  Plans for two others have been submitted for approval and we will soon break ground on the first of our Lakeside Villas town homes.  These will feature two and three bedroom floor plans overlooking our two lakes.
 
In your search for a mountain home, now is a great time to invest.  There are still concessions to be had and building costs are down.  However, it is important that you look for a community that is built on stability and a proven track record.  The Headwaters is just that.  We’ve been here for four full years now, closed 99 transactions and completed 31 residences (custom homes, cottages and condominium villas).  We encourage you to plan a visit to see why so many others have chosen to call The Headwaters home.  Now is the perfect time.”

Winter Driving At Headwaters

   Posted by: Headwaters    in Headwaters at Banner Elk, Ski Resorts, Snow, sugar mountain

By: John Haynes, Developer

One question I often hear is “How are the roads in winter?” 

Its a good question that everyone should ask when considering buying property in the mountains.  Its one thing to be enraptured by the scenic beauty in the spring, summer and fall, but if the roads are not properly maintained in the winter, your mountain experience can be unsettling at best and outright dangerous at worst. 

Here within The Headwaters, we have a dedicated road maintenance crew that keeps our roads better than any in the market.  They ONLY serve Headwaters.  In many communities, the snow crew is first obligated to clear shopping centers and retailer parking lots, leaving individual property owners to wait. 

Example, the photos that are part of this blog show our road conditions the morning after we experienced an unusual 20″ snow fall.  One of our full time residents arrived late in the night during this snowstorm and had no problem getting to their home after they entered the gate.  She commented, “Just one more reason we love living here!”  If you can’t enjoy your mountain home during all four seasons, you’re missing a lot of the fun.  img_3388

Winter is beautiful up here when the lakes occassionally freeze over and you can go skiing or snow tubing at the nearby ski resorts. 

So, make sure you inquire as to how the roads are maintained. 

You’ll find at The Headwaters, we take good care of our property owners.”

With six community parks, two lakes, miles of professionally built trails and a mountaintop clubhouse unequaled elsewhere, it is understandable why The Headwaters continues to set the standard by which all other communities are compared.

A New Generation Of Old World Charm

   Posted by: Headwaters    in Headwaters at Banner Elk

custom-home

A community as beautiful as The Headwaters deserves to be built upon using architectural designers and craftsmen of world-class stature.

You will not see a brick or stucco home on the slopes of The Headwaters—it just wouldn’t be right. There is no comparison to a home built using hand hewn timbers, stone and shingles, not to mention the fine craftsmanship evident in timber frame construction.

We will help you get connected to the right folks that will make your mountain home dreams become a reality. Or if you prefer, bring your own architect and floor plans to build from a design that is uniquely you.
