Rock Creek Trail

Happy New Year Greetings to All! As we close out the end of January, we wanted to share some of our New Year's resolutions and to reflect upon some of our accomplishments in 2011. We are very excited about the two newly built cottages, designed by renowned, award-winning architect Travis Mileti.  The Sunrise Cottage (Lot #8) is so named because its location prompts you to grab a mug of coffee and sit on the porch to watch the sun rise, while the Rock Mountain Cottage (Lot #11) located on … [Read more...]

Emeril Lagasse Foundation Executive Director Kristin C. Shannon with Garden & Gun's Emily Rogovin

I remember the first time I picked up a copy of Garden & Gun Magazine and thought to myself, "Are you kidding me?  Who is going to read this?"  To my surprise, me.   I do enjoy "gardening" but will tell you I do not spend my days strolling around my back yard sipping lemonade and planting flowers.  As for "guns", growing up I was one of three girls in my family and our idea of spending time outdoors was a tent pitched in the back yard filled with pink sleeping bags and dolls. To … [Read more...]

Typically, the winter season has fewer units on the market.  Sellers are more motivated to let property go in preparation for the next season. With cooler mountain climates, the leaves … [Read more...]

Winter may slow us down here a bit at the Preserve at Rock Creek but there is an abundance of winter activities in the Sapphire Valley area of North Carolina.
