The Best in Mountain Living Awarded 2011 Community of the Year and 2012 Best Amenity Package by the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association
THE SOUTH’S PREMIER MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY Big Canoe is conveniently located just one hour north of Atlanta, Georgia and metro area airports. With the added punch of resort-style amenities i.e. golf, tennis, swimming, state-of-the-art fitness center, over 22 miles of trails and more than 50 clubs and organizations there is simply never a lack of things to do in Big Canoe. Big Canoe Realty offers new and resale homes, priced from $200,000 to 3 million+. You can also purchase a homesite and build now or later, with no constructions deadlines in most Big Canoe neighborhoods.
More than ever, it’s important for us to breathe real air, walk among trees and flora and behold the fleeting wonder of a deer crossing our path. Now and again, we have to hit the pause button, gather with family and friends, embark on a hike, hit a golf ball, swim a few laps, or engage in other activities that keep us young and vibrant. Big Canoe — a lush, mountain community an hour north of Atlanta — offers all these pursuits and more. It has become a favorite weekend home of city dwellers and suburbanites with busy schedules and a place for growing families who recognize the need for a balanced life. As its sterling reputation continues to spread, Big Canoe is also drawing second-home and early-retiree buyers from throughout the Southeastern U.S. and beyond. Three generations — grandparents, parents and children — gather at Big Canoe to share laughs, hugs and the good life. The community has the advantage of being a short drive from a major metropolitan area, but it feels like another world, a natural world where folks get to refresh and recharge. Big Canoe offers conveniently accessible second homes that people use a lot. More than 50 percent of Big Canoe dwellers use their homes here as a primary residence, giving the community the feel of a small town. The 50-plus social clubs, from birders to wood carvers, bicyclists to billiards, are robust and growing. The community — 8,000-plus acres with 2,000 acres of usable green space — is dynamic and thriving, as evidenced by new neighborhoods sprouting up within its gates, and an ever-widening stock of new homes providing prospective buyers with more and more choices in size, design and amenities. It’s for these and myriad other reasons that in 2011 Big Canoe was named Community of the Year by the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association. And last year, the same esteemed organization awarded Big Canoe the Best Amenity Package. Among this wealth of amenities, many cater to active lifestyles. Fishing is a favorite pastime. Lake Sconti, the largest of three, is bountifully stocked with trout. The swim club borders Lake Disharoon and features a sandy beach and expansive pool. Nearby is the Rockslide, where kids and adults alike love to hurtle downward into an awaiting watery caress. Big Canoe’s spectacular 27-hole championship golf course winds its way through hilly terrain, offering stirring views and challenging holes. The year-round tennis complex is complete with two indoor courts, four outdoor hard courts and four outdoor clay courts. Leagues run constantly. And as for hiking, the community boasts more than 20 miles of trails. Increasingly, Big Canoe has become the mountain neighborhood of choice for health-conscious families. For more information about Big Canoe, call 770-893-2733 or visit bigcanoe.com.
Rookwood: :
I
nternational by design, this superb ten acre mountaintop estate offers an unobstructed 270 degree view of the valley below. This estate has had a love affair with two families: one, the client and one, the architect:a love affair with the mountain, the view and the home. This magnificent oriental inspired residence is a peaceful place surrounded by waterfalls, koi ponds and gardens that are stunning throughout the year. There is quite a story to tell about this exquisite residence on a mountaintop in Greenville, South Carolina. In the late 1980’s Ben Rook, a commercial architect, and CEO of Odell Associates, Inc. a global architectural firm, was approached by a prominent client to design a residence for his family. Ben did not do residential design work and declined, but this particular client was very insistent, and eventually Mr. Rook agreed. The site for the residence was atop Paris Mountain in Greenville, South Carolina. Using the Japanese design and theme of Feng Shui, Ben eventually created a central pavilion and five pavilions connecting each other. The final result comes from years of labor, and it was well worth the wait. As you round the bend in the road you do not immediately see the home. In fact it is a surprise that quietly and beautifully unfolds like a new spring flower. The entrance is framed gently and tastefully by seasonal flowers and the koi are your only greeters. The waterfall announces your arrival yet beckons you to stay. There is no doubt of the entrance ringed in dominant red. Upon entering, the magnificent view of the valley draws you immediately outside. The expansive grassy lawn unfolds to unending
A Love Affair
woods that stretch for miles below. Ben never guessed that he would one day have the opportunity to own the home, but he did. Only the second owner, Ben and his wife, Becca, have enjoyed the house and gardens. “ What I love so about the house, “Becca says “ is the open feeling of the glass walls and sensing that the outside can come in.” “I can never grow tired of the incredible feeling of peace here.” The home has over 7,000 square feet with a magnificent indoor and outdoor swimming pool as well as a hot tub . Part of the evolution of the property under the care of the Rooks has been the magnificent gardens which are seasonal in nature and really quite low maintenance. You will notice more grassy areas mingled with plantings at the entry of the drive , and then transitioned to a more finished landscape above the waterfall. The green house is the envy of every gardener! The entire house takes advantage of the breathtaking view including all of the bedrooms, the living room, dining room, library, and the kitchen. The dining room and living room share a stunning open fireplace. A detached studio features a soaring ceiling and fireplace and could be used as an office or separate guest quarters.
For information, please contact Marguerite Wyche at 864-270-2440.

Lonesome Ridge at Lonesome Valley, Cashiers, North Carolina
B
efore Cashiers developed into the quaint mountain village that it is today, the Cherokee knew this plateau at 3,500 feet as a cool, lush campground that figured prominently in their seasonal migrations. Many others have since discovered the natural wonders of this temperate forest nestled high upon the ancient slopes of the Blue Ridge Escarpment. Bisected by the Eastern Continental Divide and protected by thousands of surrounding acres of the Nantahala National Forest, Cashiers is cherished as a unique mountain destination offering nationally ranked golf courses, award winning restaurants, many notable communities and charming antique shops. Current development is balanced with hundreds of miles of hiking trails and fly fishing streams, countless waterfalls, magnificent granite faces, and enough adventure to satisfy any outdoor enthusiast. Cashiers is located in southwestern North Carolina, in the southern Appalachian Mountains, just north of the common boundary point of North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina. Driving time is within three hours of Atlanta, Charlotte, Chattanooga, Augusta and Columbia and less than five hours from Knoxville and Birmingham. Nearby airports include Asheville (1.25 hours), Greenville (1.75 hours), Atlanta (3 hours) and Charlotte (3 hours). Just two miles east of the center of Cashiers, Lonesome Valley enjoys a rich history dating back to 1895 when E.H. Jennings acquired over 35,000 acres in the mountains of western North Carolina. Following the development of several prestigious inns along regional lakes, the Jennings family retained 800 acres of the original holdings as their own private retreat. In 2004 the family decided to invite other families and friends to share their mountain cove, affectionately known as Lonesome Valley. And so this vibrant community began. Founded upon the principles of true conservation, Lonesome Valley successfully blends thoughtful development with the protection of its vast natural resources. Over one third of the Valley is forever preserved as common green space, utilizing stream corridors, meadows and forests as natural buffers between generously sized estates. With sufficient golf and traditional country club amenities offered by other area communities, Lonesome Valley has instead focused on hiking, fishing, boating, swimming and other nature-based, family-friendly activities. Simplicity, rest and recreation combine with fine dining (at Canyon Kitchen with James Beard Award Finalist, Chef John Fleer) and festive gatherings to create the ethos of this community. Based on the enduring commitment to purposeful excellence established five generations ago, Lonesome Valley will continue to provide joyful family memories for generations to come. Lonesome Valley is framed by Cow Rock Mountain and Laurel Knob along with other ridges that form the largest box canyon in the East. At 4,200 feet atop Cow Rock Mountain exists Lonesome Ridge, a 90+ acre park-like estate overlooking the valley below. With unsurpassed vistas in every direction, flat and gently sloping topography, paved roads and utilities already established, and several well groomed homesites, this estate can be preserved as a single large tract or subdivided into as many as six individual parcels. Several trails link a variety of viewing decks, wildflower meadows, picnic and gaming areas on manicured lawns along with walking connections to Lonesome Valley to the west and Panthertown Valley to the northeast. Panthertown Valley, comprising over six thousand acres of Nantahala National Forest, is known as the “Yosemite of the East” with its signature granite faces, trout streams and miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking. Lonesome Ridge is a pinnacle property with exceptional characteristics, providing unique opportunities to invest in family, friends and the future.

SARASOTA
Perhaps one of the desirable places to live year around, with far more moderate temperatures than cities to the south of Florida, Sarasota was historically known to Midwesterners as they traveled down US Interstate 75 along the west coast of Florida. Sarasota is the hidden cultural gem of the southeastern United States. Money magazine recognized Sarasota as the nation’s best small city, one of the best places to retire, and one
of the cities with the best health care systems. Forbes Magazine named Sarasota as one of the best places for business. Early residents in the 1880’s include Scotsman John Hamilton Gillespie who created the first golf course in the United States - in Sarasota. Chicago businesswoman and socialite, Bertha Honore Palmer arrived in 1910 to develop real estate and spearhead state of the art cattle and farming techniques. John and Charles Ringling, famed for their circus productions, possessed a development dream and were responsible for many beautiful buildings in the city of Sarasota as well as the development of real estate on four barrier islands that separate Sarasota Bay from the Gulf of Mexico: Longboat Key, Lido Key with St. Armand’s Circle, Bird Key and Siesta Key - internationally renowned for having the whitest sand beaches in the world. A tremendous legacy from John Ringling’s real estate development is his world-renowned John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, built to be largest museum in the nation after the Metropolitan Museum of Art. From the onset of the museum’s opening, international artists made Sarasota their home. Today, Sarasota features its nationally acclaimed Sarasota Opera, Asolo Repertory Theatre, Sarasota Ballet, Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Sarasota Film Festival, Ringling International Arts Festival, La Musica di Asolo, Florida Studio Theater, the Jazz Club of Sarasota, Key Chorale and numerous arts organizations. According to the National Endowment of the Arts, the scope of such an expansive arts community would exist in a city with a population of greater than 3 million people. The attraction of such an extensive arts community has fostered clientele who pursue excellent culinary experiences for which Sarasota has long been famous. Hence, a fabulous lifestyle without the concerns that accrue to larger populated cities! Sarasota’s top-rated schools and motivated workforce also contribute to why Sarasota is home to some of the most successful and productive companies in the country. Higher learning institutions such as Ringling College of Art and Design, the New College and the University of South Florida make Sarasota their home. Ringling College has been named first in the nation for its degrees in animation, illustration and is named among the top 25 universities for its new film school program. New College is listed as
the 3rd best value of colleges in the U.S. by Princeton Review and has over 800 students enrolled in its liberal arts programs. It is located on Sarasota Bay and its campus utilizes the Charles Ringling Mansion and the Caples Residence. University of South Florida offers top ranking undergraduate and graduate programs to some 4500 students. Sarasota also boasts an esteemed culinary institute, Keiser College of Sarasota. Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium, the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens as well as the South Florida Museum and Bishop Planetarium afford the intellectually curious ample opportunity for enjoyment and involvement. Residents enjoy vibrant recreational activities in addition to golf and tennis. Fishing throughout the bay and Gulf of Mexico originally persuaded John Ringling’s friends to purchase properties in Sarasota. The Baltimore Orioles conduct spring training at Ed Smith Stadium, replacing the Cincinnati Reds who had long sojourned in Sarasota for their training camp. The Nathan Benderson Park is on its way to becoming an internationally acclaimed rowing venue. The Sarasota Sailing Squadron hosts nationally renowned regattas for dinghies and larger sailing vessels. Polo fields and horse farms are enjoyed during season to the east of Sarasota. Biking and running clubs are vital in Sarasota giving the city the reputation as the fountain of youth. The Fourth of July features a national speedboat racing event. This year, Sarasota becomes home to the Sarasota Thunder, who will play in the Ultimate Indoor Football League. Sarasota is also home to the Sarasota Sharks swimming team who have won numerous national championships. Sarasota also possesses an extraordinary medical community and Sarasota Memorial Hospital is nationally ranked among the best in the nation for gynecology, gastroenterology, GI surgery, geriatrics, pulmonary, neurology and neurosurgery. The hospital is an 806–bed regional hospital with nearly 4,000 staff, 750 physicians and over 1,000 volunteers. It is the second-largest acute care public hospital in Florida and considered among the 20 largest public hospitals in the United States. The major airport in the area is the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport that holds full Port of entry status providing U.S. Customs inspections for international travelers. Five airlines offer service for locations primarily in the United States and Canada. The airport serves more than 1,300,000 passengers per year.

Darien
Written Written by by B. B. B. B. Smith Smith

arien, ideally situated on Connecticut’s “Gold Coast,” has the enviable honor of being listed as one of 2011’s “Top-Earning Towns” in the nation. This beautiful “bedroom community” boasts few office buildings (larger cities are such an easy commute), yet is home to beautiful beaches, four country clubs, a hunt club, two yacht clubs and an easy commute to New York City. For the leading Darien realtors, Kelly Associates Real Estate, these amenities are just icing on the cake. The hallmark of their business is the meaningful relationship developed with clients, which explains why for 17 years they have handled more transactions than any other firm. Connecticut’s “Gold Coast” — generally lower Fairfield County and/or Southwestern Connecticut — is often refered to as a “bastion of wealth.” Fairfield is the state’s most populated county — home to its largest cities: Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwalk and Danbury. All are within easy access from Darien. Fairfield also has the most registered ghost towns of any Connecticut county! The range of accessible terrains is one of Darien’s treasures — from beautiful coastal beaches to numerous rivers and lakes to majestic ranges of the Appalachian Mountains and the famous Appalachian Trail that run through Fairfield County. Want to be recognized as “in the know”? Pronounce the name “dairyANN” — with a heavy emphasis on the last syllable. That’s the way the locals say it, advises Kelly Associates, an independent, family-owned real estate boutique that shared the pride of all residents when CNNMoney named Darian in 2011 as one of the nation’s “Best Places to Live.”
It was a local sailor who, hoping to quell the controversy, suggested the name Darien. He had sailed to Darién, Panama, liked the name and proposed it as a compromise — probably to the irritation of many. But eventually, that became the town’s name — with the exotic pronounciation but without the accent mark. Darien remained a sleepy little town until after the Civil War when it and its neighbor Rowayton suddenly became an “in” resort site where wealthy New Yorkers built summer homes. Darien still today draws the internationally rich and famous to its annual Ox Ridge Hunt Club Charity Horse Show. Those who chose to stay and call this picturesque New England area “home” (or “summer home”) have included Charles Lindberg, Andrew Carnegie, Christopher Plummer, Kate Bosworth, Carol Kane, Gus Van Sant, Gerry Mulligan, Chris Risola, Rudolph Valentino, Paul Manship, Erskine Caldwell, Grant Tinker, Scott Pelley and Richard Bissell, to name just a few. Almost as long is the list of movies filmed in Darien, including The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, The Stepford Wives, The Ice Storm, The Swimmer, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House and Gentleman’s Agreement. With notable residents, of course, come all the amenities they demand, such as outstanding restaurants, sophisticated entertainment, challenging sports venues, educational excellence and an emphasis on living the good life. The 5-star Wee Burn Country Club course is just one of many that draw top golfers from around the area. The Country Club of Darien boasts a spectacular Dr. Michael Hurdzan-redesign of the stately golf course that has drawn national accolades.
Revolutionary history abounds along these beautiful shores of Long Island Sound. First settled by Anglos around 1641, Darien saw its share of invasions by Tories (British Loyalists) during the American Revolution. During one such traumatic attack, 26 men were taken prisoner for five months, including the parish pastor, Rev. Moses Mather. Louise Hall Tharp chronicled this exciting period in her novel, Tory Hole.
Kelly Associates award-winning realtors take great pride in their deep ties and closeness to the community they serve. They are as active as their clients in the myriad of sport opportunities that abound in this delightful place to live. The real estate market is thriving, a firm reflection of the upbeat, enthusiastic Darien community.
The strangely-pronounced name, Darien, was the result of a squabble among residents. Too many families wanted it named after themselves!
And . . . Darien boasts the largest Little League Baseball program in the nation!

North Farm
French Country
Hillsdale, New York Times change but the farmhouse decided to stay. A mudroom was added. The fireplaced kitchen was opened up and gourmeted. A sunroom to brighten things up and look at the mountains. A enormous living room, front to back. A first floor master wing to keep the owners happy. On the second floor, the farmhouse decided to keep it’s rambling nature with rooms hidden and waiting to be explored. Bedrooms with views, bedrooms with views and bedrooms with views. But on the top story, that’s where the farmhouse decided to shine. Vaulted ceilings, open space, two bathrooms, private window spaces full of wow. A barn was invited over, with room for cars and a shop and a whole guest house above. Just the thing. $ 2,450,000
Spencertown, New York acres of manicured grounds, pond, stone walls and tennis court.On the main house some particulars draw attention, an Indiana limestone water table runs around the base of the 6,000 square foot main house. Granite lined courtyard leads to a two story entrance foyer. The main wing finds the living room, which leads out to the bluestone patio. Your very own oval office at the end of the wing.

Across the upstairs landing you will find the master, nicely accented by an oval deck from which to view distant fields and Catskill mountains.

The Porches
Expansive
Chatham, New York You could spend 90% of your time on the series of porches and that 90% would be blissful...happy...content... Now, the rest of the time you could spend walking the property, the fields, bird watching in the specimen trees, hanging out in the hidden garden, strolling to the barn. You could take a few minutes off the porch to enjoy the pool room, light a fire and entertain formally in the living room, serve a succulent meal in the formal dining room, with ingredients picked from the pantry and prepared in the gourmetly appointed kitchen. So many things you could do, if you could only leave the porches...$2,500,000
Canaan, New York There are times when bigger is indeed better. Start with the view. A great big, far reaching, all encompassing, sunrise to sunset drink it all in baby looker of a view.

Or wander down the path to the landing, sit and contemplate. On the way to the poolhouse you could stop by the solar array (you are your own power company afterall) before diving in. Downstairs there are two more bedrooms and a den with a fireplace of it’s own and doors that open to the patio. $1,495,000

Charlottesville
Written Written by by B. B. B. B. Smith Smith
W
hen Southern Living magazine declares you the “Tastiest Town in the South,” that’s the ultimate tribute to your cuisine! But that’s not the only accolade Charlottesville has garnered.
Beautifully sited on the Piedmont Plateau, at the foothills of the incredibly beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, right at the headwaters of the Rivana River, Charlottesville is the economic, cultural, educational focus of Central Virginia. Home to the internationally renowned University of Virginia, Charlottesville has done such an outstanding job of preserving and treasuring its past, it has been declared one of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s “Dozen Distinctive Designations.” Its close proximity to the Shenandoah National Park (with its magnificent Skyline Drive), Jefferson’s Monticello and Washington, DC, makes it a delightful place to live. Actually, the Charlottesville area was also home to three U.S. Presidents (Jefferson, Monroe and Madison). Its ambiance is widespread. A writers’ and readers’ paradise, the city annually honors its many outstanding resident authors, including, over the years, John Grisham, Rita Mae Brown, Edgar Allen Poe and William Faulkner. A strong cultural focus combined with an exciting economic environment is but one of the reasons Charlottesville has attracted such a sophisticated, highly educated, notably successful population. And with them have come all the amenities demanded by those who can afford the very best when it comes to education, arts, cuisine, entertainment and other “musts” for the best of lifestyles. Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall is one of the nation’s longest pedestrian malls. Named after Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of King George III, Charlottesville, founded in 1762, has been ranked as one of the nation’s
top cities in which to do business, explains Roy Wheeler Realty, the city’s premier real estate firm. The city’s focus on economic success is reflected in its being selected as home base for numerous major employers — including Pepsi Cola, Lexis-Nexis, Inova Corp., Northrup Grumman, SNL Financial Wachovia and a large U.S. Government contingent. Where financial success flows, lavish lifestyle is close behind. Charlottesville’s proximity to both mountains and the Atlantic Ocean ensure a mild climate with four distinct seasons, and all the sports and recreation opportunities this creates. Ski resorts are complimented by a full range of outdoor opportunities during spring, summer and fall. The nearly 30 local vineyards make up the state’s largest collection with several wineries winning national recognition. No wonder so many celebrities have chosen to live (or lived) in the Greater Charlottesville area, including Anastasia of Russia, Meriwether Lewis, S.S. Van Dine, John Mosby, Georgia O’Keefe and, more recently, Rob Lowe, Sissy Spacek, Sam Shepherd, Rita Dove, the Dave Matthews band, Parachute, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jessica Lang, baseball stars Larry Haney, Billy Wagner and Tommy Toms and ¬¬football stars Chris Long and his father Howie Long, and Eric Wilson. For 85 years, Charlottesville’s most presigious Realtor, Roy Wheeler, has succeed by adhering to the philosophy that “service is our most important product.” That philosophy is as important today as it was in 1927 when Mr. Wheeler borrowed $300 to open Roy Wheeler Realty Co. on the top floor of the Monticello Drug Store in Charlottesville. Today, from equally as historic Ednam Hall (and five other sites), the company team carries on the tradition of combining the latest in technology with a deep-seated involvement in community activities, to stay in touch with the pulse of real estate fluctuations.

Memphis Written Written by by B. B. B. B. Smith Smith

veryone is familiar with Memphis. How could we not be? Memphis is one of the most often mentioned cities (if not the most) in recorded music. Over 800 songs have been documented as mentioning this exciting Southern city. (And, of course, it’s home to Graceland and the Peabody Hotel with its daily “March of Ducks”!) When Memphians say their roots grow deep, they mean DEEP. For over 10,000 years, this perfect area for a settlement was first home to the Mississippian culture, then the Chickasaw Indian Tribe, all of whom occupied the bluffs along the river, building a large mound above the bluff. Unfortunately, none of these earlier settlers were honored by Memphis’ founders who included General/President Andrew Jackson. They chose to name the city after an ancient Egyptian city on the Nile River. Go figure. Of course, you can’t mention Memphis without hearing great music. Music greats who grew up in and around Memphis include Justin Timberlake, Elvis Presley, B. B. King, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Otis Redding, Jerry Lee Lewis, Muddy Waters, Carl Perkins, Robert Johnson, W. C. Handy and Isaac Hayes, to name just a few. George Gershwin once wrote to W. C. Handy, “Your work is the grandfather of mine.” But the explosive excitement of Memphis goes far beyond the world of music. With such success come all the amenities associated with wealthy communities, explains Jimmy Reed Realtors, one of the top firms specializing in Memphis’ luxury real estate market. Thanks to FedEx, Memphis the busiest cargo airport in the world. Home to four Fortune 500 companies (FedEx, AutoZone, International Paper and ServiceMaster.), Memphis excels all the areas that so intimately affect this upper level population. The University of Memphis leads a pinnacles of excellence achieved in education on all . The arts, culture, nightlife, cuisine — all reflect the demands of Memphis’ sophisticated population.
Festivals celebrating the arts, history, music, and the like draw international attendance throughout the year. Typical is the Memphis International Film and Music Festival, recognized by MovieMaker Magazine as one of the 25 “Coolest Film Festivals” and one of 25 “Festivals Worth the Entry Fee.” And this is only one of a full series of film festivals that occur in this city annually. The list of celebrities now living in and visiting Memphis has been bolstered by its growing film industry. Movies filmed here include Great Balls of Fire, The Silence of the Lambs, The Firm, The People Vs. Larry Flint, The Rainmaker and Painted House. Remember the MGM lion that roared at the opening of movies? It lived at the internationally famous Memphis Zoo until its death in 1944. Cybill Shepherd is a Memphis native as are Kathy Bates, Michael Jeter, Tim McCarver and, of course, Elvis. Residents include (or included) Dixie Carter, Morgan Freeman, George Hamilton and Aretha Franklin. Twentyfour of the 97 stars in Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame are from the Greater Memphis area. This is an award Realtor Jimmy Reed sees proof of daily. He likes to tell clients he needs no GPS system. He KNOWS Memphis and the surrounding areas like the back of his hand. That’s what it takes to successfully match discerning potential homebuyers with the right luxury home and community for their particular lifestyles. Not only is he extremely active in community activities, Jimmy Reed MarxBensdorf Realtors is working to help continually improve the city and its resources. The Grays Creek project has worked hard to help residents maintain this area’s tranquil rural qualities. Being pro-development, Reed says, does not mean tolerating haphazard hodge-podge expansion. This is typical of Reed’s focus on not only his clients’ preferred communities — which represent the pinnacle of luxury in living — but for all the extended amenities that make Memphis living so satisfying.
