We are excited to introduce you to our new Balsam Mountain Portfolio of Homes. Born out of a shared vision of the human connection with the natural environment, this new collection of homes has been created in partnership with Platt Architecture, designer of HGTV's 2006 Dream Home. In designing a residence, it is Al Platt's mission that the home should appear natural to the environment, blending seamlessly with its surroundings.

Situated on various high ridges overlooking virgin forests and spectacular mountain vistas, 6 homesites have been hand selected for our new Portfolio of Homes. In fact, each of these special residences has been custom designed for a specific homestead to ensure the best utilization of available terrain and maximized views. Each home will emphasize the connection of the house and the people who live there to its natural setting.

Al Platt's concept of New Mountain Architecture melds harmoniously with Chaffin/Light Associates conservation-based development principles. Designing for Balsam Mountain Preserve's ultra-low density community within a park has afforded him a particular pleasure. "This is a unique opportunity for me," states Platt, "in the fact that my design philosophy matches the developer's commitment to creating an authentic and organic community in a sustainable natural environment."
