The breathtaking scenery here at the Preserve at Rock Creek serves as a canvas which showcases the equally stunning architecture and design of our custom homes. Effectively using that canvas requires choosing the right construction team.
Note that all land owners at the Preserve are free to choose their own mountain home construction team. However, we have chosen the following team members to build our own cottages and estates.
Mountainworks, Ltd.
We are privileged to host several homes designed by Mountainworks, Ltd., a custom home design firm located in the surrounding Cashiers area. The Rock Mountain Cottage and several other homes at the Preserve were skillfully designed by Mountainworks to both echo their natural surroundings and to create harmony between man and nature.
It is no surprise then that many of the homes designed by Mountainworks have won national awards, including a top honors American Residential Design Award (ARDA) in the Model Home category for our very own Rock Mountain Cottage, built by Apple Construction. In addition, Mountainworks has been featured in a number of quality magazines which highlight the superior craftsmanship of the company.
Among the highly-skilled team at Mountainworks is Travis Mileti, president of the company and a 20-year specialist in designing custom homes in the mountain and lake communities of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Travis specializes in creating "mountainesque" homes by using antique logs and lumber and many old world styles throughout his designs. Each home's design is based on topography, view orientation, solar influence, and the desires and lifestyle of the home owner, making each home its own custom creation. And, of course, homes are always created using only the finest techniques and building materials (locally sourced where available).
