Sweetbriar Farms is a 200-plus acre community just north east of Lake Lure, and if you've been looking for a waterfall outside your bedroom window, here it is! This beautiful property is currently home to a handful of log cabins, mostly vacation homes. With average parcel sizes hovering around two acres, and some considerably larger, everyone has quite a bit of 'elbow room'. In fact, many areas are so densely wooded, you'll pass by and see only a driveway.

Gated Communities:
Many of our happy clients specifically did not want to be in a community, gated or not. What changed their minds?

They may have started with pre-conceived ideas of homes being crowded together, looking like a set from a made-for-tv suburb. Or maybe it was the idea of a gated community being too uppity, or simply having to pay for amenities they wouldn't be using. Maybe it was the idea of bending to other people's rules or rule-keeping methods, or watching the dues rise each year. Could be any or all of the above, or something else entirely.

In any event, their minds were changed, not by some high pressure salesperson, but rather because they saw something beautiful with their own eyes, and the concepts they previously held quickly dropped away in the face of reality. None of those issues and problems apply here. The truth of what we really offer shines through when you see it for yourself.

For instance, Hearthstone Ridge is 470 acres, and has 5 residences.
That's probably a different picture than the one you had in your mind when you started reading this a minute ago.

We are proud of our undisturbed corner of the world. We like the way the land lays, we like the warm and welcoming people here, we like the big cities to be close enough and far enough away. We like the idea of protecting the land from trailer parks moving in next door. We like the idea of being out in the country and still close to town. Join us!
