Saluda River Club Achieves Record Sales

The lifestyle and recreational community along the Saluda River has emerged as one of the brightest spots in the South Carolina real estate market.  Saluda River Club, a development of locally owned Lifestone Communities, achieved new home sales in excess of $15 million in 2009.

“Despite the recession, we’ve found that you just can’t keep people from their dreams,” said Lifestone/Saluda River Club principal Walter Taylor. Taylor, along with partners Andy White and Bill Theus, decided to stay the course in 2009  - never compromising on quality and continuing to emphasize extraordinary lifestyle and value.  Their strategy paid off.

See the Saluda River Club website for the full story.
