East Tennessee Residential Communities : Holrob Communities : Private Communities near Knoxville, Knox County, Blount County, Anderson County, Sevier County

This week's Knoxville Business Journal includes an article on how baby boomers are looking to maintenance free options in their next phase of home purchase.

Josh Flory, who wrote this blog entry earlier in June, penned the article:

As the baby boom generation enters its retirement years, developers see a market among seniors who want to ditch the hassles of home ownership but are still willing to pay a premium price for their abode.
...
Perhaps more importantly, the developers are aiming at a market that doesn’t want to be bothered with mowing the yard or mulching the flower beds. “I think there is a growing … interest in condominiums,” Howard said. “I think people — particularly kind of the market segment that we’re targeting, people downsizing or moving out of larger single-family homes — don’t really look as much at another single-family home.”

KnoxNews blogger and business/property writer visited The Enclave last week.  He snapped a few shots and experienced the amenities

Cool amenities include sound-system control panels (pictured below) that let owners adjust their I-Pod, television or stereo from rooms throughout the house; open, covered or screened porches in the back; and the ability to open the community's gates remotely, using a cell phone. (Handy if you're out of town, but want to let someone in.)

As The Enclave nears completion, Holrob Residential builder, Hunter Purnell, walked through the home pointing out key features of the model home The Bentley, which will be open for tour June 8, 2008.  The model has a Niles Audio Multizone audio system prewired and installed.

Through this small control, one of which is located in the Dining, Kitchen, Main Room, and Master Bedroom, the homeowner is able to select a sound source (Tuner, Cable, CD, or iPod) and select the adjust the volume to the desired level.

These small, built-in speakers in the ceiling, allow you to entertain guests to the mild notes of Chopin or rock out with Jimi Hendrix--depending on the mood. You can roam through the house without missing a line from the movie, or you can catch the morning news as you brush your teeth.

The best part of this sound system is that it is easy, really easy to use.

The Enclave is nearing completion, so I wanted to bring you a few pictures from the exteriors of these wonderful homes. These expertly finished homes, with main-level master bedrooms and maintenance-free lawns, provide a serene escape from the large homes in nearby Sequoyah Hills and Westmoreland.
 

Once the landscaping finishes in a few weeks, I will post a follow-up slideshow with a more comprehensive collection of pictures inside and out. In the meantime, if you are interested in receiving more information about The Enclave and availability of these homes, let us know here.

Our contractor sent me this update on The Enclave today:

Last week we began cutting our house seats out for our first four units in the Enclave.   Unit 1 will be our Bentley model fully furnished and unit 2 will be framed and available for purchase.  Our larger units are being built on Unit 5 which is a fully furnished Cantebury. Unit 6 will be framed available to be purchased and finished to the buyer's desires.  The roads are being paved as we speak and next week we will begin work on our stoned entrance wall followed by our gates and gatehouse and landscaping. 

In two weeks or so, we will begin to hydro-seed the hill side and will planting in the winter.
