community conveniently located between Blacksburg, VA and
Winston-Salem, NC celebrating a $12 million renovation - today

"Olde Mill's new products are the best examples of mountain club living

lush surroundings. Scheduled to construct more than 500 new homes in
small enclaves of mountain-craftsman style streetscapes, Olde Mill and

sustainable community.
The completely refurbished villa condominiums start in the $200s and

the course feature dramatic views of three holes, two course lakes and
mountain terrain - start in the $300s while single-family cottages and
estate homes range from $400,000 to over $1 million.
The award-winning Nantahala - a 5-bedroom, 4-1/2-bath masterpiece
designed by Garrell & Associates - exudes mountain-craftsman living.
Priced at $850,000, this cedar and stone escape overlooks the 13th tee

theater, pub, billiards area, den, wine cellar and large two-story
terrace for entertaining, the Nantahala also impresses with an off-set
master suite boasting a stunning walk-through shower, his-and-her

The estate - with three stone fireplaces and dramatic, interior cedar
and stone columns includes premium Pella windows, Kohler fixtures, Rohl
plumbing and a gourmet kitchen featuring amazing stonework with granite
countertops, custom cabinets and GE Monogram appliances.

Hagen Giles, General Manager at Olde Mill. "Year-round, seasonal or
weekend getaway homeowners relish the relaxation and casual activities
which define mountain club living as it should be."

About Olde Mill
The 850-acre, master-planned Blue Ridge Mountains resort and
residential community boasts luxurious golf front and mountain-view
condominium villas, manor homes, single-family cottages and stunning
mountain estate homes, ranging in prices from $200's to $1mm's. Besides
its striking setting, the project's authentic Mountain Craftsman style
architecture sets it apart from other cookie cutter style mountain
communities. Designed by one of the foremost architectural design
firms, Garrell & Associates Olde Mill's homes and villas work in strong
concert with Olde Mill's soft mountain topography and are accented by
expert landscape design features created by Aaron Brown of Brown
Landscaping.
Olde Mill's $12 million transformation is the vision of prominent
Mid-Atlantic-area land developer and Virginia Tech graduate Norris
Mitchell, who grew up on a farm 20 miles from Olde Mill. He is
overseeing Olde Mill's evolution into the type of perfect mountain
designed club community with an array of amenities and an economic
engine for the region for decades to come.
Enhancements include completely redesigned dining and tavern facilities
- and the addition of Chef Ed Badgett, an acclaimed culinary maestro
who came from an elite private club in Western North Carolina -
recreational area, newly renovated tennis courts, a fitness facility,
and an indoor swimming pool with raised Jacuzzi (an outdoor pool is
also planned, along with other additions).
Olde Mill's golf course is rated 4½ stars by Golf Digest magazine (out
of 5 possible). The championship golf course's extensive renovations
were directed by third-generation Pinehurst residents Dan and Bradley
Maples, the son and grandson of original designer Ellis Maples. Keeping
the iconic layout - reminiscent of the Golden Age of golf's Donald Ross
classic designs - the upgrades include aesthetic changes to several
holes. Furthermore, the course's back tee boxes were lengthened to
7,100 yards, while the other three sets of tees were shortened for
increased playability. A wall-to-wall irrigation system was installed,
and white sand from the mountains of North Carolina - the same sand
used at Augusta National Golf Club - fills the 70 bunkers at Olde Mill,
where water comes into play on 16 holes.
