Summerour and Associates Design Cottage-Style Homes at Mountain and Golf Community Currahee Club
Atlanta (PRWEB) April 17, 2008 -- Batson Cook Development Co., in partnership with Millichap Development Group, has broken ground on the Coneflower Lane Cottages (http://www.curraheeclub.com/cottage-homes.htm), a charming 20-cottage neighborhood in the midst of Currahee Club (http://www.curraheeclub.com), a gated mountain and golf community. Designed by nationally acclaimed architect Keith Summerour of Summerour and Associates, these inspired cottage homes blend traditional southern architecture with high-quality craftsmanship characteristic of Summerour design. Coneflower Lane Cottages recently welcomed its first homeowner, and is the perfect respite for golfers, outdoor enthusiasts and those simply seeking a peaceful mountain and golf retreat.
The Coneflower Lane Cottages are set among an expanse of beautiful purple coneflowers, for which the cottage homes are named, and offer unprecedented views of the sixth, seventh and eighth holes and surrounding ridgelines. The cottages reflect Summerour's love for the traditions of an earlier age, as evidenced by the neighborhood's design elements that encourage interaction amongst homeowners.
"Currahee Club is focused on family, and we wanted that to be evident in the design and layout of the cottage homes," said Keith Summerour - principal, Summerour and Associates. "The floor plans of these homes are conducive to conversation and interaction, and natural elements are showcased throughout the homes to complement their surroundings," he added.
The semi-circular layout of the Coneflower Lane Cottages features a central motorcourt where homeowners can store their cars and golf carts, the latter which can be used for transportation throughout the close-knit mountain and golf community. A stone fireplace with an oak timber mantel is the centerpiece of each home, providing a gathering spot for family and friends. Oil-rubbed bronze hardware and antique oak details create an old-world ambience. With thoughtful architectural accents like rough-sawn wood walls and cedar shingles, the cottage homes blend seamlessly into the untouched mountain landscape. Oversized screened-in porches provide the ideal spot to watch the sun set over the Blue Ridge Mountains or colorful butterflies gather atop the myriad of coneflowers and perennials that envelop the setting.
"Keith Summerour's talent for innovative, customized design has allowed us to further establish Currahee Club as the premier lake, mountain, and golf community in the southeast," said Chris Whitley - partner, Currahee Club.
Prices for the Coneflower Lane Cottages begin at $729,000. The available floor plans for these two-story cottage homes include 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths and 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Located adjacent to the planned swimming pool, playgrounds and amphitheater and a stone's throw from the recently-opened magnificent 48,000-square-foot Golf Clubhouse, cottage homeowners will enjoy living near many of Currahee Club's amenities, from hiking the mountain to a golf course that is nationally renowned. The cottage homes are being developed by Batson-Cook Development Co., whose parent company constructed the Five-Star Cloister Hotel at Sea Island, Ga., and Millichap Development Group.
