Etowah Golf Villas - A Western North Carolina Success Story!
Hendersonville, NC, USA, November 9, 2004: Etowah Golf Villas has completely sold out less than a year after construction began. The well-worn real estate adage certainly applies, "Location, location, location!" Being situated on one of the most beautiful golf courses in Western North Carolina didn't hurt sales at all, but the Etowah Golf Villas success story must be more than mere location. 14 homes were sold before the "grand opening," even before the model home was built in May 2004, and the entire 34-home commmunity sold out before the end of July 2004.
Glade Homes’ efforts to preserve the integrity of the land and maintain the beauty of the natural landscape is obvious in the Etowah Valley property, and their reputation for exceptional pricing and exciting home plans helped. Founded here in the Southeast over twenty years ago, Glade Homes has long recognized that families want more than just the structure of a house; they want a livable home and community. They want open space for recreation built in balance with the ecology of the land, to complement, rather than detract from, the terrain and its natural beauty. Although these human concerns are often in conflict with each another, Glade Homes has managed to provide that balance in the Etowah Golf Villas.
One of the core business values of Glade Homes is that every development must respect, protect and enhance the ecology, environment and the aesthetics of the community. At the same time, the owners understand all too well that they must remain profitable to continue to provide this brand of responsible development. The bottom line, however, is always the satisfaction of their customers, the people who invest in and populate the communities that they create.
“The homes in the Etowah Golf Villas community appealed to people of different ages and circumstances,” said Kathy Drant, Glade Homes sales executive. “Prices were very appealing to young families and retirees alike. Some folks bought into this community for a summer home; others will live here year-around. We even have one family from China ! A lot of our success had to do with the amenities, including city water, city sewer, county taxes, and natural gas, which is fairly unusual for a development this far out in the country. Another factor was the Glade Homes pricing structure, which provided very cost-effective purchases of our basic home, but allowed each family to customize their homes, to personalize them by adding skylights, a wide selection of flooring and wall treatments, and even hot tubs. ”
Located on the 7th fairway of Etowah’s South course which is just nine miles from downtown Hendersonville, these new homes are built in seven different floor plans that range from 1,400 to 2,500 square feet, providing a superior use of space, spacious grounds, and terrific views of the golf course. The community layout offers several swaths of green space that break up the development into pleasing home groupings and provide open space for all to enjoy, including Mother Nature herself.
Glade Homes is currently developing six more quality communities in Henderson and Transylvania Counties, with homes priced from $110,000.00 to over $300,000.00, and they are planning to break ground on three more developments in the near future.
