MfJlifche/f Lands Begins
500 Acre Development
Mt. Mitchell Lands, fncjias
begun construction on a scenic
500 acre development in the
South Toe section of Yancey
County.
To be called South Toe Ri
ver Development, it will in
clude large, wooded homesites
and among other features, an
18-hole golf course.
Outdoor recreation will be
stressed in the development.
Three fourths of the boundary
is national forest land, on which
deer and grouse abound over
thousands of acres. Mountain
trout are plentiful in the appro
ximately two miles of South
Toe River flowing through the
development.
Close-up views of six moun
tain peaks over 6,000 feet in
elevation are to be had from
almost every location in the
development. One of the old
est trails to the top of MfcMitch
ell, the highest peak in eastern
America at 6,684 feet, starts
from the center of the property.
Areas within the develop -

That's why a well-built wood
house will last generation' after

sense to demand wood in a new
home.

ment will be set aside and pro
tected in their natural beauty
for tiie enjoyment of residents.
Covenants for applied ecology
are included in all sales con
tracts.
The property, owned for
many years by the Deyton fam
ily, was acquired last year by
o »
Verne Floyd of Alamance Com
ty and Harold King of Hickory.
They credit the Deyton 1 s for
keeping the large tract of
land together and for preserv
ing the wildlife and for protec
ting South Toe River which
flows through the property.
Floyd is the corporation's
president and general manager.
His son Jim and King's son Lee
assist him. At one time Floyd
served the state as senior bio
logist in the Division'of Game
and Inland Fisheries and edited
the wildlife magazine.
Over 500 building sites are
being surveyed. One hundred
and twenty lots containing 1/3
to 3/4 acre are now being sold
at pre-development prices of
$3, 300 to $7,500. Graveled
roads, water, electricity and
telephone service are available,
The 18-hole golf course
planned for one side of the
property, should be one of the
most scenic courses in the
world. The course is being de
signed by noted British golf ar
chitect Fred Hawtree and will
be in line with championship
golf courses all -®ver the coun
try. The course will be pub
lic, with special privileges for
residents.
Scenic View
Heights Is
Affordable
We are planning to offer
people country living at a mo
dest price, says Farrell Hughes
of his beginning development
at Brash Creek.
The large tract of land,
named Scenic View Heights,
has been sectioned into one -
acre lots by Hughes, but he
emphasizes that the acres are
divided on paper only and what
ever number of acres a person
desires is available to him.
Cne cottage has been built
to show prospective customers,
and plans are underway for
more cottages to be construe -
ted as lots are sold. The homes
are simple, but complete—in
cluding even furniture, and all
materials used are of good qua
lity.
Although selling the total
package of a one-or-more-acre
lot with furnished cottage is a
primary consideration for the
developer, he will also sell
tracts of/one or more acres with
no building, so that the purcha
ser may plan and build his own
home.
"Our goal is to give the buy
er just what he wants, interms
of acreage and house plan, at
an affordable price,
Cottages will be in a secluded
woodland setting, offering plen
ty of privacy—but the primary
roads which are already built,
will make them easily acces
sible. i
One of the best parts of the
whole plan is that a complete
ly furnished cottage on a one
acre tract is being offered at
the extremely low price of
$12,500 according to Hughes.
Oily 1/3 down is required, and
the balance may be paid at
reasonable terms.
Scenic View Heights offers
mountain-country living to fit
almost any pocketbook!
