Scotch Hall Preserve, Second Homes For Golfers In North Carolina

Filed under: Sports, Real Estate Developments

Golfers and boaters alike would be very happy at Scotch Hall Preserve, a new 900-acre second home waterfront club community located on North Carolina's scenic Inner Banks, about 20 minutes from Edenton, North Carolina.

Recently they hired Nick Cassini, who was the top amateur golfer in the world in 2001 and went on to play in the PGA and European tours. Cassini is now the Director of Golf, overseeing Scotch Hall Preserve's Arnold Palmer Signature course, which opened in the spring of 2008 and was named to Golf Digest's Top 10 Best New Private Courses in 2009. Cassini has the happy task of organizing member events, helping to keep the course in top shape and introducing new owners to the course. It's a job with some pretty great views like the one from the 17th hole shown above.

Scotch Hall Preserve has also broken ground on its family retreat complex. The first phase includes a pool with cabanas, golf starter pavilion, an events and sports lawn, and will be surrounded by nine family retreat cottages. The cottages average 2,600 square feet, with double master suites and two guest rooms, and come fully furnished. Each cottage has a view of the golf course, and the water is less than a five-minute golf cart ride away. Two cottages are already underway, with a completed model to open this summer. Prices begin at $540,000.

The Rainmakers Golf and Recreational Community is located at 7,000 feet up in Ruidoso, New Mexico. The $30 million community will include an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II championship golf course, a theater for the performing arts, walking trails, a trailhead center with spa, fitness and swimming facilities, a clubhouse with a restaurant and lounge and a 135-acre wildlife habitat and conservation easement. The grounds include ponderosas, pinon pines and juniper and views of Sierra Blanca and the Sacramento and Capitan mountains.

Real estate options include townhouses, patio homes and estate home sites. The development is also making a green effort with energy-saving construction, environmentally-friendly soil technology and property-wide water conservation initiatives. The golf course is the only Audubon Signature Member golf course in New Mexico. In order to be an Audubon Signature course the management had to demonstrate environmental management practices in areas like water conservation and wildlife habitat management. Townhouses will be priced from the mid-$300,000's to the low $500,000's and 186 building lots have an average price of $110,000.
