With foreclosures skyrocketing and home prices plummeting, real estate has had a tough year. But in certain pockets across the country the damage has been minimal -- if nonexistent. Read more about this hot issue by clicking this link: Save Havens

November Tennessee Tailgate Party is Great Success:

There is a secret recipe for great college football…even when your favorite team isn’t doing so well. One part Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que ribs, one part chopped Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que chicken, corn-on-the-cob, some of Wilbur’s Famous Green Beans, a very special apple cobbler, toss in a salad and a couple gallons of tea. Mix with eight lucky winners of the Cottages at Governor’s Landing / Keller Williams Realty tailgate party give-a-way and you’ve got yourself some great college football game day fun. Earl and Peggy Hagler with guest Geoff and Suzanne Emery, Scott Fawver & Kelly Shipe with guest Gary and Sandy Maples were all lucky winners of this year’s Tailgate party. The four couples met at the Clubhouse, were escorted to the game via The Cottages’ very own limo service (aka Chuck Fethe and Keith Foster) and were treated to a stadium side tailgate party hosted by Nancy Keith of Keller Williams Realty. It was a picture perfect fall day. Everyone enjoyed meeting new friends, eating some great food and watching the Vols in Neyland Stadium.

Model Homes Build Schedule On Target:

Over the past 45 days we have made enormous strides in the construction of our model home display center. When completed, you will be able to tour and inspect every detail of your future home at the Cottages at Governor’s landing. Many of our future residents have already taken personal tours to begin learning about the quality construction features incorporated into every Epcon Communities® home. Plans are to complete a Ducal, Colonade, Bramante and Aboreta model by February, 2009. A variety of options will be displayed in display center and will be useful when deciding how you want to customize your home. We encourage everyone who is interested in learning about our process, to stop by for a “hard hat” tour of the construction site. We promise you won’t be disappointed.
(P.S. wear comfortable shoes! You will be in an active construction site.)

Clubhouse and Community Center Opens

October 24, 2008 was cold and rainy, yet somehow the perfect day to celebrate our official ribbon cutting to open the new community clubhouse. With over 50 guests; including future residents we celebrated our first major milestone as a community. Our ceremony was brief with comments from Cottages Group CEO, Ken Russell; Tennessee State Senator, Tim Burchett; and Knoxville Chamber Executive Vice President, Mark Field. Continuing the celebration, the crowd enjoyed catering along with music from a local jazz trio. All in all, it was a great way to meet new friends while enjoying the new community clubhouse. If you have not had a chance to take the tour, stop by for your own personal tour. In the mean time, if you have a question or need special arrangements please call 865-544-4348 or email cfethe@cottagesgroup.net or bquigley@cottagesgroup.net .

Mark your calendars and plan to join us for our first December Christmas open house and party. We will get together with friends and future residents on Saturday, December 13, 2008 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Dress is casual / festive. We want to encourage everyone to come out and to get to know new friends and see how far we’ve come over the past few months. Feel free to bring a friend to help us show off our new clubhouse facility. We promise to keep it light, sweet and simple. In “Epcon” speak that means simple fun, great food, and an unhurried atmosphere.
