These designs embrace a philosophy borrowing from the historic Cashiers-Highlands-Toxaway mountain camps and estates while reflecting the regional tradition of southern Appalachia. Lonesome Valley has been a family farm for generations, and so it shall remain for future generations.

Wade Hampton Golf Club
HIGH IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS of North Carolina, the village of Cashiers makes a bucolic setting for secluded Wade Hampton Golf Club. Encircled by 28,000 acres of national forest and rising 3,486 feet above sea level, this area has retained the same natural beauty described by Thomas Wolfe in Look Homeward Angel.

Cashiers has been a favorite vacation spot for generations. Southern families are attracted by the cool summers and dramatic views of these mountains. In the early days, fishing was said to be the main attraction; golf was just one of several sporting activities along with boating, riding, and tennis. Later the popularity of golf grew and many courses were built near Cashiers in the 1950s and 1960s. The area became widely known for the quality of its resort and retirement golf.  THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY at Wade Hampton is limited to 300 homes. A carefully structured development plan assures that the integrity of golf is not compromised by residential development; accordingly, homes with golf course frontage are confined to the perimeter of the course.
