The Lutgert Companies selects David Hatcher for interior design of the Cottages at Cranberry Cove

LINVILLE, N.C. - Aug. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- The Lutgert Companies has selected North Carolina-based David Hatcher to design the interiors of the Evergreen and Spruce home models in the Cottages at Cranberry Cove, The Lutgert Companies’ newest residential development nestled inside the gates of Linville Ridge Country Club in Linville, NC.

August marks the anticipated completion of the first two home plans: Spruce and Evergreen, both harmonious in how their architecture seamlessly blends into the region’s topography. Priced from $850,000, the Spruce model features 2,462 heated square feet of living space, three bedrooms, three full baths and a powder room. Add a den and additional 400+ square feet to the Evergreen, which is priced from $925,000 with 2,893 heated square feet.

Hatcher, who was classically trained in architecture and product design, is taking an understated approach to the homes, which he characterizes as “noble properties” consisting of ample outdoor living spaces including multiple porches, along with linear room arrangements, for taking in the stunning mountain views.

“I’m creating these restful havens with the belief they may serve as heirloom properties for future generations,” said Hatcher. Decorative accents include a retractable glass wall that with a gentle push, converts to a living porch for effortless entertaining. He believes luxurious furnishings start with well-made materials. “The Cottages are a first for the area, so there’s room to try new ideas. By keeping the indoor furniture selection organic to the surrounding topography, it defines the very nature of understated, transitional style,” says Hatcher, who added that he designs with lifestyle and the environment as top priorities.

The Cottages at Cranberry Cove will include 20 single-family homes: three- and four-bedroom floor plans are available ranging from 2,400 to 2,800 square feet. Each home will be built at an average elevation of 4,000 feet, situated on a one-acre minimum, and offer breathtaking views of Grandfather Mountain and the Blue Ridge Mountain range.

Just a short drive from Charlotte, and a popular destination for those residing in Raleigh/Durham, Winston-Salem, Blowing Rock and Asheville, Linville Ridge provides one of the East Coast’s most prestigious private country club living experiences. At 4,945 feet above sea level, the Linville Ridge championship golf course is the highest elevation golf course east of the Mississippi River and is ranked amongst the state’s best (#22 in 2015) by Golf Digest. The exclusive club also offers Har-Tru tennis courts, a heated mountainside swimming pool, youth center and playground, day camp, full-service salon and spa, fitness center, croquet lawns, bocce ball and five exceptional dining venues with formal and casual settings.

Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, led by president and CEO Judy Green, serves as the exclusive sales and marketing representative for the development. “Linville Ridge really is a special place,” Green said. “The homes, atmosphere and views are all spectacular. The Cottages at Cranberry Cove truly represent a unique opportunity to enjoy the mountain lifestyle,” added Green.
