The Kenmure Success Story

Kenmure has grown into a major golf community with exceptional values and a strong financial position since it was acquired by Kenmure Properties, Ltd. in 1985. Real estate sales have exceeded all expectations with 495 homesites and 191 condominiums sold. 

Kenmure's mountain golf course offers views and challenging play.

With spectacular resources such as the Joe Lee-designed mountain golf course and stunning views of the Blue Ridge mountains from elevations as high as 3,000 feet, Kenmure has always had the elements of a superior community in the making.

Since that time the number of completed single-family homes has increased from seven to 323. And club membership has grown from zero to 456 through August 2002 (approx. 322 of them are golf memberships). Permanent membership in the club is generally only available to Kenmure property owners. 

The Kenmure Mansion has been entertaining guests since 1850.

Its strong infrastructure comes from the people who live there. Kenmure's active members and residents serve with the property's management team on numerous committees (i.e., Welcoming Committee, Architectural Review, Road Maintenance, Security) and various other committees for club and golf activities. 

The Kenmure Homeowners Association is especially active, promoting its vision for a high quality of life and aiding fellow residents in times of need. 

The Kenmure Mansion
One of the key landmarks at Kenmure is the Kenmure Mansion, which overlooks the impressive 18- hole, Joe Lee course. A stately Southern home, it dates back to 1850 and has been carefully restored to serve as Kenmure's clubhouse. Members enjoy an informal grill room, formal dining room and banquet facility, pro shop and administrative offices. 

A heated swimming pool, tennis courts (hard and soft surface) and fitness center are also part of the amenities. Memberships are restricted. Overall, there will be a total of 500 Full Golf et al memberships and 200 memberships made up of Sports Club and Social.

The clubhouse is the center of activities and whether you play golf, tennis, bocce ball, bridge or canasta, you'll find friends who will want to pursue your interest with you. If you prefer hiking, gardening, literature, photography, or astronomy, there are several clubs within the community to satisfy those interests and more.

Discover Flat Rock
Flat Rock, located just four miles from downtown Hendersonville, is often bypassed by tourists who don't even know it's there. Yet it is a community which has a unique attraction and a special feeling. Concealed behind unmarked gateways, ornamental shrubbery and tree-lined carriage drives, the community is one of the most interesting collections of dwellings in America.

Fall scenery is spectacular in Flat Rock.

A century and a half ago, Flat Rock began to sprout large summer estates designed in the English manner by affluent Charlestonians, Europeans and prominent plantation owners of the low country. Eventually, the settlement grew to about 50 estates. 

In antebellum days, they served as summer escapes highlighted by an endless string of  morning gatherings on latticed porches, picnics, tennis teas and quadrilles danced under candled chandeliers. It was the essence of pleasant living. Most of these stately dwellings still stand, surrounded by wide lawns, gardens and towering trees--the result of generations of loving care. 

The Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway is one of America's most scenic byways.

Today, the Flat Rock district is on the National Register of Historic Places. The community is also home to the Flat Rock Playhouse, State Theater of North Carolina. It is recognized as one of the10 best summer stock theater companies in the United States. 

Notables such as Lee Marvin, Kim Hunter, Pat Hingle, and Burt Reynolds have "trod the boards" at Flat Rock. Established in 1952, it mounts an average of eight Broadway and London hits each summer. Across the street from the Flat Rock Playhouse, is Carl Sandburg's Connemara home, also open to the public.
