Hampton Lake Introduces Signature Series Custom Homes, Open House on Oct. 24

Lakeside amenity at Hampton Lake, the Lake House.

Encouraged by recent statistics showing a rising trend of new home sales in Beaufort County, SC, Hampton Lake has introduced a new product line of custom homes to be constructed by four leading area homebuilders: Tilton Group Signature Homes, Custom Classics by David Weekley, Harden-Tuten Custom Homes and Full Circle Development. Ask for more information.

Kristen Lee, marketing director for Hampton Lake, said nine new home models will be available to view this fall with one being a new Signature Series home built by Full Circle Development. The public is invited to an Open House at Hampton Lake on October. 24th from 1 pm to 4 pm.

The 900-acre, award-winning, lakefront community is expecting its array of amenities, along with close location to the beaches of Hilton Head Island and historic Savannah, GA, will be especially appealing to families and retired couples moving into the area, as well as others looking to build a ‘customized’ home.

According to Gerrit Albert, president of Hampton Lake, prices of the custom homes – including homesite – start in the $400,000s for wooded homesites and in the low-$500,000s for lakefront properties with each builder offering three featured floorplans that purchasers can choose from and then customize to their own desires. Ask for more information.

“There are tremendous savings for the homebuyer in a program like this, where they can have their own individualized and customized features,” said Albert. “The builders are each designing floorplans to be unique to our community and take advantage of our lakefront setting and natural beauty.”

Albert said he attributes Hampton Lake’s continued success in the face of a difficult economy to the wide range of quality homes that are available at very attractive price points. “People are going to be amazed at the price points and overall value of these homes. The Signature Series offers custom homes with exceptional features and finishes paired with the quality, high-end lifestyle and resort-level amenities that Hampton Lake offers at a truly affordable price.” 

Individuals looking to review the new selection of floorplans and tour the community can make an appointment by contacting the community’s sales center at 843-836-5253.

Antique Boat Show at The Reserve at Lake Keowee, SC, Showcases Cris-Craft Family

Classics on parade at the The Reserve at Lake Keowee boat show.

Chris Smith – the grandson of Christopher Columbus Smith, the founder of Chris-Craft boats – along with Alan Smith, the elder Smith’s great-grandson, shared stories at The Reserve at Lake Keowee’s Marina and Village on Friday, May 21, during a luncheon and boat cruise held in conjunction with Lake Keowee’s 2ndAnnual Antique Boat Show.

The Antique Boat Show, hosted by the Blue Ridge Chapter of the Antique & Classic Boat Society drew scores of passionate boaters with their vintage watercraft from different parts of the country to Lake Keowee on May 20-22. Each day featured boat cruises, followed by intimate get-togethers. The event is one of many signature celebrations planned throughout 2010 honoring The Reserve community’s 10th Anniversary.

“What an honor to have Chris and Alan join us for this year’s event,” remarked Chuck Pigg, vice president of Greenwood Communities and Resorts and community manager of The Reserve at Lake Keowee. “Having all of those handmade wooden boats in our marina was certainly a sight to see, and we look forward to the opportunity to host the Society members again.”

Chris Smith touched on his time at The Reserve by accentuating the beauty of the place and the warmth of the people:

“I had such a wonderful time. What I saw of The Reserve I was very impressed with… the beautiful Village Center, the marina was excellent, and the grounds and buildings were absolutely gorgeous. In my younger days, I used to put my golf clubs in my boat on Lake Michigan and drive right up to the golf course. This place reminds me of that. How much better could it get? Golfing and boating… I plan to try to come back.”

Chris Smith and company. 

Based in Sarasota, Fla., Chris-Craft has a fleet of 19 models ranging from 20 to 40 feet and a tradition of excellence dating back to 1874.
