Rose Hill Plantation
Marshall Kanner, the visionary behind Rose Hill Plantation, a new type of community for Western North Carolina – a community that combines the ease of condominium living with the benefits of single family homes. Located in Leicester, North Carolina, just 10 minutes outside of Asheville, Rose Hill Plantation features the perfect blend of country living with city amenities. Mr. Kanner is building each single-family detached home offering luxurious amenities and up-to-the minute technology in a rural community surrounded by rolling hills and mountain views.
Homeowners are enjoying the community camaraderie and “maintenance-free” living usually associated with condominium ownership, says Mr. Kanner. Each buyer owns their single-family detached home, while the Association owns the land and provides exterior upkeep. All exterior maintenance such as lawn care, roofing, painting, road upkeep and common building maintenance is provided. Maintenance costs are included in each homeowner’s monthly Association Fee, says Marshall Kanner.
The 58-acre gated community has been designed with utmost care to ensure the preservation of the lovely rural setting. Forty acres of the development have been set aside as green space for residents to enjoy at their leisure. Community amenities include walking trails, common garden areas, a tennis court, heated pool and spa and the Rose Hill Plantation Club House. Inside the Club House residents will find the fitness center, media room and library area, plus a gathering room for games and get-togethers.
Rose Hill Plantation homeowners may choose from four unique home plans. Each plan features one-level living with an option for a spacious lower level. Homes range in size from 1387 sq.ft. to 1512 sq.ft. under air plus a two-car garage and large decks, with an optional 1,000 sq.ft. on the lower level. Phase I encompasses 20 units, with prices starting in the low $300,000’s.
Homeowners will also enjoy the luxury of “upgrades” that are standard at Rose Hill Plantation, such as hardwood and ceramic tile floors, plush carpet and decorative interior doors. Wood cabinets, granite counter tops, stainless steel sink, hard wood or ceramic tile floors and an upgraded appliance package are included in each kitchen. Master baths feature a whirlpool tub, glass-enclosed shower and cultured marble countertops.
Generous back decks are also standard on each home, allowing homeowners to drink in the pastoral setting. Home sites have been carefully positioned so that each homeowner will enjoy both nearby rolling hills and long-range mountain views.
Rose Hill Plantation’s maintenance-free lifestyle provides homeowners with more leisure time, making this the perfect community for active adults of any age seeking a primary or second home. Rose Hill Plantation has everything you are looking for – a luxurious smaller home with less upkeep, a gated community where people are active and can come together for everything from book clubs to barbecues.
Mr. Kanner says “that while enjoying a rural lifestyle, homeowners at Rose Hill Plantation will also enjoy the benefits of being just 10 minutes from Asheville with its dynamic restaurants, shops, art galleries, entertainment venues and bustling business district. Outdoor enthusiasts will find a variety of Western North Carolina activities just moments away, including: hiking, biking, fishing, canoeing and kayaking, whitewater rafting and horseback riding. Winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing are also nearby.”
Rose Hill Plantation is a joint venture between North Carolina, Atlanta and South Florida residential developers.
