October 2, 2007 (Highlands, N.C.) – Turn a weekend getaway into a home away from home in Satulah Village-South, Old Edwards Hospitality Group’s brand new residential development in Highlands, N.C.  Fourteen new luxury town homes being built on this secluded site will exude the same rustic elegance and Southern charm to which guests at Old Edwards Inn and Spa have become accustomed.

The launch of this upscale residential village has created yet another way to enjoy the renowned “High Country Living” Old Edwards Inn and Spa has offered since 2004.  No expense is being spared to make this development the finest in the region. 
Over a half million dollars alone is being spent on landscaping to accentuate the stone and poplar architecture of the cottages and make homeowners feel like they’ve stepped back in time.  Of course, modern luxuries remain close at hand with all of the houses pre-wired for high-speed internet, cable, surround sound and security systems.

But owners of these fabulous properties need not remain secluded in their mountain oasis. All of the properties are a short walk from the shopping, galleries and dining available in downtown Highlands, including the famous Elevated Southern Cuisine at Madison’s Restaurant.
Owners will also receive exclusive residential benefits from Old Edwards Inn and Spa and its sister properties.  Residents have the initiation fee waived for membership at Old Edwards Inn’s recently completed Fitness Center.  A weight-training studio, outdoor workout terrace and a heated outdoor, saltwater swimming pool are all available for members to enjoy.  Gym membership also includes use of the brand new Spa Amenities Building and the elegant Hummingbird Bar and Lounge.
Residents will also enjoy tennis privileges at Old Edwards Inn’s courts, preferred reservations at the Spa at Old Edwards and Madison’s Restaurant as well as a discount at on-site meeting spaces.
Starting at $1.35 million, the 14 units will be available late fall.  For purchasing information, contact Oxford Properties at (888) 526-4326.  For more information on Old Edwards Hospitality Group, visit www.oldedwardsinn.com
