Many of the developers inthis area will actively seek to purchase and develop as much property as possible. This is not the case with Sanders Dupree, owner and developer of Highlands Point. Sanders began visiting our area in 1997. In 2000, he brought some friends up to visit and decided to purchase a parcel of land totaling 13 +1- acres from a local family. Instead of trying to fit as many lots as possible into this area, he divided it into 11 lots and named it Highlands Point. He clarifies, “I protect whoever buys from me by regulating the price of the lots.”

His efforts are to make sure that these property owners continue to enjoy the things that originally brought them here. Highlands Point represents the majesty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The bountiful flora of spring, cool breezes in summer, magnificent color of fall, and mild winters offer enjoyment to those that live here. Highlands Point makes the most of the attributes of this area. It offers wooded home sites with spectacular views, effervescent springs, and age-old rhododendrons and mountain laurel. All of these can be found in the private, gated community of home sites at Highlands Point.

Additionally, the architectural restrictions will also protect your investment while giving you a broad range of building aesthetics. These restrictions are designed to “blend the architectural style of the North Carolina mountains with individual expression reasonably applied, while preserving harmony and compatibility and the aesthetic standards established for the entire Highlands Point community.”

Highlands Point offers community water, septic permits, underground utilities, and cable television. All one needs to do is select a lot and begin building your dream home.
