INTRODUCTION
The story of the Ridge Haven
residential community is part of the story of God’s grace
and His unique provision of Ridge Haven itself. The beauty
of the spacious, hardwood-covered lots, each with its own
unique contours and views, is surpassed only by the
special people the Lord is building into a one-of-a-kind
community. The uncluttered, quiet, and four-seasons beauty
of the Ridge Haven subdivisions is accompanied by Ridge
Haven amenities, services, and spiritual blessings
surpassing many exclusive clubs and residential
developments. Most of all, lots in the Ridge Haven
community provide some of the most affordable land to be
found anywhere in the mountains of the southern United
States. When the tax assessor came to view the lots, he
said he did not know there were lots this pretty in
Transylvania County. Despite the compliment, taxes remain
very low and we, of course, believe the lots are some of
the most desirable land in the mountains.
|
|
| We also
believe the desirability is enhanced by the Ridge Haven
ministry, the community, and our proximity to other developing
and beautiful areas including historic Toxaway, Sapphire Valley,
Highlands, Cashiers, Brevard, and Hendersonville, North
Carolina. Our location is convenient to local shopping, medical,
and fire services, I-26, the Asheville Airport, and the
expanding metropolitan areas of Asheville, NC, and Greenville,
SC.

For many
years the Ridge Haven residential community and
subdivisions have remained a secret. As the number of
Ridge Haven residents, guests, and participants has
increased, however, so also has the information about the
Ridge Haven residential community and the availability of
lots. The secret is quickly getting out! We invite you to
join with the others who are considering a home in the
mountains of the Ridge Haven community.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
As
established by the Ridge Haven bylaws, Ridge Haven lots
are made available by lot-lease accompanied and controlled

Covenants and the Declaration of Restrictive and
Protective Covenants Supplemental Declarations. Leases
are for 99 years and automatically renewable for a second
99 years. All lots are mortgagable and transferable as
outlined by the Covenants. Other matters pertaining to the

CONCLUSION

is that the Lord will bring into the Ridge Haven community

relationships established will edify and encourage each
resident, serve to assist Ridge Haven in its ministries,
and bring glory and honor to the Lord.
