Glenroy Heights at Kenmure Country Club
 |
| The contact information for my company has changed since this 1997 brochure. |
I developed a 58-acre subdivision
of
a gated golf-course development in Flat Rock, NC. The land had been let
go for 26 years and was so thickly overgrown that it could not be
walked through. Underneath was an old homestead and terraces that had
been created without machinery.

entrance plantings in 1999 and an early spec house, ca. 1998. |
 |
 |
| Silt ponds -- required for runoff -- can be accomplished with fish ponds. 10-year-old largemouth bass, anyone? |
|
| The first section of 58.58 acres was purchased in 1993. Stone walls and entrance columns were constructed to set off this subdivision. |
|
| An aerial view in 1995. The roads are started! |
|
| The southwest subdivision of Kenmure: 2700 feet and up, 58.58 acres of a 1440-acre golf-course development. |

|
| After a century of apple planting, there were apple
trees of every color -- many of them heirloom varieties -- growing
naturally. I underbrushed them, knowing the new lot owners would be
excited to own them. (Check out the long-range views north over Hendersonville!) |
|
| This road-sign area was required, but it wasn't required to be ugly. I added a natural-stone landscape feature with roses and a stone bench for the many Kenmure members who enjoy this park-like plateau. |
|
| A beautiful driveway. The best part is the endless views west toward Mt. Pisgah, visible beyond the trees. |
