Rare WNC Real Estate


A rare real estate opportunity has presented itself at the former site of an historic lodge dating back to the early 1900s. The land, which sits on the summit of Toxaway Mountain, was recently cleared to reveal stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Owner Tim Bright plans to sell a limited number of lots on this land to comprise his luxury development, Preserve at Rock Creek.

The lodge that once sat upon the Rock Creek land served both as a nature center--where children of the area could learn about the environment--and as a hunting and recreation get-away for such prominent industrialists as the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Edisons, and Fords. In the early 20th century the Toxaway area became known as "the Switzerland of America," owing to its natural beauty and the string of resorts that popped up there.
