Owner info
Year Purchased: 2001
About the owner: We designed and built Eaglerock as our vacation home to come to the mountains to escape the heat in summer from our permanent residence in Florida. We wanted a great view and when we cleared the lot the view was beyond what we could have imagined! We first visited Asheville but after coming to Hendersonville we fell in love with the place. It is such a beautiful little town and has real and vibrant downtown economy. The energy there is just fantastic here We love the mountain golf courses and enjoy motorcycling all over Western NC. We now have a cottage on Morrison Lake in Muskoka, Canada and have been spending a good bit of time there rather than in the mountains.
Why the Owner Chose Hendersonville, NC, USA:
As an Architect and Interior Designer this gave us the opportunity to design and furnish a home that maximized the views and was suited to the way we live. We wanted an open plan that was great for entertaining and a large deck to accommodate spacious outdoor living. Finding a lot that was close in with a terrific view was difficult, but we just got lucky be just 10 minutes form downtown Hendersonville
