The Preserve at Avery’s Creek Developer-Builder Offers More Luxury for Less There’s never been a better time to consider a move to the mountains of Asheville and Western North Carolina. Rolling hills, mountain ridges and soft breezes sound awfully nice right now, considering all that has happened as of late.

Using the backdrop of Asheville and her mountains, one developer and new home community are debuting some of the most beautifully appointed luxury homes in area, and for much less than you’d think.

Framed by the backdrop of Asheville and the majestic mountain landscape, experienced developer Frederick Spiegel has come up with a whole new “model” on how to design, build and deliver a well-appointed luxury home in one of the best locations in and around Asheville.

As a matter of fact, the property borders the Cliffs, of one of the most exclusive communities in WNC. Fred Spiegel is also the builder at The Preserve at Avery’s Creek who’s offering new home buyers the quality and well-appointed finishes of a luxury home, but for moderate prices. “We give our owners many of the qualities of a luxury home without the million-dollar price tag” says Spiegel.

And all of this is the one place in Asheville where you can buy a quality luxury home for less” adds Spiegel.

Centrally located in Buncombe County (less than ten minutes from the Asheville Regional Airport), The Preserve at Avery’s Creek is close to both Summer 2020 | Fine Homes & Design 17

“We give our owners many of the qualities of a luxury home without the million-dollar price tag” downtown Asheville and nearby Hendersonville. “Where else can you find luxury homes set in a spectacular, yet intimate mountain location?” Spiegel states. “From our location, you have easy access to great restaurants, shopping, recreation and more, but you also have privacy and access to nature.”

A quick drive from The Preserve at Avery’s Creek will land you in quaint and cobblestoned historic Biltmore Village. Even closer to home is the popular Biltmore Park, a fabulous modern lifestyle center packed with amazing restaurants, a movie theatre, hotels and great shopping.

“Asheville really is an outdoor paradise,” Spiegel explains. “You’ll find all of it just beyond the entrance to The Preserve at Avery’s Creek. Living here puts everything you want to do within reach, but you’re also able to tune out the world and unwind at home if you wish.” With 80 luxury single-family homes, featuring six different floor plans, (all semi-customizable), sales have been brisk.

“If you’re looking for a place to unwind and exhale, it doesn’t get any better than Asheville,” he says.

“And our homes at The Preserve at Avery’s Creek allow buyers the opportunity to own a customdesigned home to fit their taste and comfort level, while living in luxury for a fraction of the price.”

Life Lessons From the Garden

Reaching for 2020 Vision by Using Nature as a Metaphor

By Snow Creek Landscape Services

This year certainly is leading up to be one of the most historical moments in recent time. Regardless of personal opinions, the events of 2020, and COVID-19 specifically, have impacted everyone to some degree or another. As landscapers, we don’t typically have much to say on political agendas, emergency services, or social movements.

Instead, we’re usually over here deciding the best native species to plant in relation to sun, water, soil and aesthetics.

As the world continues to push forward, and more people are rekindling their relationship with their home, we do believe we have some life lessons that might make this year a little easier.

Whether you need a little guidance, or just want to simplify your lifestyle with mindfulness tactics, we’ve got some tips and questions to help enrich your life, naturally, starting right in your backyard.

Each Season has Its Unique Set of Challenges - Embrace Them Contrary to what many people think, we as landscapers aren’t in control of the natural world. We strive to understand and work alongside nature, in ways that bring the results we’re looking for.

Even with predictions, patterns and forecasts, we still don’t know what the next season will bring us.

Working outdoors is a meticulous dance, that if done correctly, leaves the audience begging for more. That dance can be -interrupted with too much or too little rain, or extreme temperatures and weather, in addition to the human involvement in creating

26 Fine Homes & Design | Summer 2020

and maintaining landscapes.

When a tree falls on a property, it instantly turns a shaded area into a sunny one, causing its inhabitants to either strive or fall short. An increase of rain can create root rot and new flooding, while a lack of rain or watering can be detrimental to both non and established root systems. How are you embracing change and adapting recently?

You Can’t Force Growth - You Can Only Guide The natural world has its preferences, and it’s our job to recreate and act as a guide in order for its success.

Whether sowing a seed or planting established root system - you must nurture its needs in order for it flourish. We can improvise with irrigation, soil amendments and proper care, but it’s all we can do.

The same applies to our own choices in life. If we embrace growth as it comes, we are able to then focus on putting ourselves in situations that guide us towards more positive situations. Sometimes we’re in situations that may be uncomfortable or new, and the answer may not be apparent, but it is best to respond strategically, not react.

Guide yourself to a better situation.

Prioritize with a Set of ‘Realistic Goggles’ With every grand idea is a set of smaller, less ‘desirable’ steps, that need to be taken to achieve a goal. We constantly work with clients on achieving their dream yard, one that is often something they’ve been looking forward to for years.

Remember the Basics - A Proper Foundation From healthy soil to correct drainage, a proper foundation with any yard has multiple variables. Our job is to make sure all of those are working together, so that everything above the ground can both grow and be stable, house included. Newly installed plants need soil that’s amended and tailored to the needs of that specific species. If water is flooding your yard, it can lead to root rot as well as leak into the foundation of your home - neither bringing joy into your life.

It’s often hard to take a step back and really think about your physical and emotional needs. A prime example of a physical need is water. The average person in the US still only drinks 1.8 cups a day, which doesn’t come close to the 8.5 recommended cups from the European Hydration Institute. Just like a new landscape, you want to make sure everything is getting the proper amount of water to establish a healthy root system.

Create Meaningful Boundaries For some, we design fences that strictly to keep things either in or out. Others find them more for decoration and accent pieces of their design. From non-organic material, like metal, to a more natural fence with evergreens and shrubs - a barrier serves a purpose for the person who installs it.

As humans, we often create emotional barriers as well as physical ones.

Invest in What Makes you Happy, without Giving Up Safety It’s a question that most people are too shy to answer, but it’s often the most important. Knowing your budget can help you get the results that you want by prioritizing your needs.

There is no reason to throw money away when working on your yard. In fact, that will not bring you much joy at all.

When designing and creating a landscape, make sure to keep in mind quality and functionality. A retaining wall may be necessary to support your foundational needs, but a paver patio is what you desperately want. During our design consultations, we browse all kinds of materials in order to deliver results to our clients.

We truly believe that investing in a home landscape means investing in your personal well-being, however it needs to fit within one’s financial capabilities.

Design, Create, and Enjoy an Outdoor Living Area

That’s Personal.

snowcreekinc.com

If you have a landscape that’s functional, you’re going to benefit emotionally and physically. Whether you’re looking to host parties, have a designated place for exercise routines, or your own Zen garden - it’s only as beneficial if you use it. When designing a plan for your outdoor living area, whether with us or on your own, make sure to prioritize functionality along with the needs of your foundation.

For those who find themselves in situations they didn’t plan on this year - it’s understandable. In fact, you’re not alone. The best thing to do is come back to the drawing table, and recognize where you are at currently, and where you want to be. Develop new strategies that are more align with your present situation, without guilt or doubt.

Looking to enhance your life with a new outdoor living area? We’ve been enriching lives, naturally, since 1989 in Western North Carolina. Call today and let’s starting creating your outdoor experience.
