Haven Heights Newsletter April 2008

2008-04-28T15:47:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the Haven Heights Newsletter. McDowell County is finally getting some badly needed rain fall. The previously dry weather has played havoc with the grasses and other plant life, but now everything in the NC Mountains seems to be coming around again! We just hope that we don’t get a late freeze like last year—we are keeping our fingers crossed!

We didn’t have much snow or really cold weather this past winter so I guess we can be thankful for that.

It won’t be too long before the Mountains in this part of North Carolina start to spring forth with blooming trees and flowers.

My wife Gail is already getting me primed up to get the garden prepped for this year’s planting! As if I didn’t have enough to do! Oh well, I really do enjoy those home grown tomatoes and squash!

HAVEN HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION STARTS NEW ROADS IN PHASE V

The bulldozers and track hoes are rumbling along in Phase V. We recently changed our road plans due to some new rules that the state of North Carolina has put into force. We are now connecting Phase V to Phase III and IV by going through what used to be lot 66. We purchased lot 66 two months ago with the intension of building the road through it so we could access Phase V.

Check out the pictures of the road construction in Phase V below. The plot plans for these lots will be on the web site soon http://www.whitnelproperties.com/ . Joy, Gail and I walked the lots in Phase V two weeks ago and they look great. We will have some nice lots near the lake area and also some lots with great views. Right now is a good time to look at these lots because the trees are bare and you can see the lots better.

Some of these lots have great distant mountain views and all of these lots are close to the pond area, which will be a common area for all land owners to enjoy. The pond even has fish in it at this time! There will also be a hiking trail along one of the creeks that feeds the pond.

The picture above was taken near lots 155 & 156 looking east in Phase V. These roads are just starting to get gravel on them in preparation for final grading. There are some Great NC Mountain Views from this area.

This bulldozer is grading the base gravel that has been put down by the truck in the background. Lots of gravel and work goes into making safe and sturdy roads that will last for a long time. All of our roads follow state specifications and are actually wider than they need to be. We do this so two cars can easily pass one another without having to pull off of the roadway. Wide roads are also good for emergency vehicles to maneuver when needed. The lots in Phase V are some of the best NC Mountain Property that we have in Haven Heights.

Gravel, gravel and then more gravel!!

HAVEN HEIGHTS CONSTRUCTS SEVERAL COMMON AREAS FOR ALL LAND OWNERS TO ENJOY!!

As we forge ahead with the Haven Heights Subdivision we are also trying to construct several places that will become common land areas. These areas will be land that all lot owners will be able to enjoy. One such area is along the creek at the west entrance and along Magic Creek Lane. This area is about three acres of cleared land that we have seeded with grass. It is an ideal place for a leisurely walk or even a family picnic.

We also have another common area that is located near lot 60 in Phase lll
This is a small area that offers a great view of Marion and the distant NC Mountains to the west.

Views similar to this are what await you at the Haven Heights Common Area near lot 60!

Here is the lake in Phase V

Haven Heights homes near completion!

Here is the log home on lot 95. It is getting close to being finished. Any day now we will start seeingpeople sitting on the deck enjoying the sights and sounds of nature in this NC mountain community!

This is the home on lot 102. The owner is doing much of the finish work himself and it looksgreat.

The log home on lot 90 has been dried in and now the workers are finishing up the inside. We should see the owners enjoying the views this summer!

The owners of lot 82 will be starting their home within the next few weeks. The lot will be cleared first, and then construction will start.

Check the website for Phase 5 information.

The lots on this parcel have been surveyed and the roads will be going in very shortly. If you are interested in lots near the pond or know someone that may want a lot in the new area please let us know. These lots will probably go fast so don’t delay!

The grass has started to get green and the leaves have turned colors. These pictures were taken in November of 2007.

MAGIC CREEK LANE COMPLETED

The road crew has finished the road that will access the lower lots along the creek in the valley

HAVEN HEIGHTS IS STILL A FAMILY RUN DEVELOPMENT

Haven Heights was started by Joy Nash and Chuck Whitnel in 2005. Chuck has been a friend of the family for so long that we all feel he is a family member. He and Mark Nash (Joy’s son) have been buddies since they were five years old.

Mark was the driving force behind getting the initial project off the ground in the beginning. Mark is Joy’s son.

Fred and Gail Vaccaro moved from San Jose California in December of 2004 and they became North Carolina Real Estate Brokers right after they moved to NC. Gail is Joy’s daughter. Both have been helping Joy with the daily duties of selling and managing the development since early 2006. Fred helps with the sales of lots as well as overseeing road construction, subdivision maintenance and security. Gail handles the general bookkeeping and mortgage process as well as selling lots.
