Realtec Will
Offer 2,500
Home Sites
The purchase of 3,900
acres of land surrounding the
famous Connestee Falls south
of Brevard by Realtec, Inc.,
of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, is
announced this week.
Plans for the development of
a new year-round recreational
community of more than 2,500
home sites at the Connestee
project is planned. Stanley
Whitcomb, Executive Vice
President of Realtec, stated in
the announcement.
Realtec is a subsidiary of
Certain-teed Products Corpo
ration, Valley Forge, Pa., one
of the world’s largest leading
producers of building ma
terials. Certain-teed stock is
listed on the New York Stock
Exchange. Realtec handles
land acquisitions and develop
ment Group.
Last week Realtec announced
the acquisition of an additional
5,000 acres, including Sapphire
Valley Inn and Country Club
and golf course in Sapphire, a
45-minute drive from the Cop
nestee Project.
“These projects are the
first steps in a series of welt
planned and researched in
vestments and transactions
which Realtec will carry ouf
in behalf of the Urban De
velopment Group of Certain
teed Corporation,” Mr. Whit
comb said. “All our efforts
are within the scope of Cer
tain-teed’s long range pro
gram which will provide
planned communities for
America’s growing population
while preserving our nation’s
ecology”.
Mr. Whitcomb announced
that the development will be
known as Connestee Falls and
that the extensive plans have
heen made to make it a year
’round recreational community.
“We envision Connestee
primarily as a second-home
resort, although many people
will want to live here perman
ently,” he said. “Our research
shows there is a great de
mand for second homes in
the Blue Ridge Mountain
area within easy reach of At
lanta and other large South
eastern cities, including all
of Florida.”
“The high altitude, clear air
and water, moderate year-round
temperature, and lush scenery
have combined to establish this
region as a nationally renowned
resort, retirement and vacation
center. It is ideal for weekend
and get away - from - it - all
homes”
