Acclaimed Golf Course, Family-Friendly Activities Ideal for Primary and Second-Home Living, Getaways
(LAUREL FORK, Virginia) – The award-winning Olde Mill – a resort, residential and mountain lifestyle community celebrating a $12 million renovation – has retained Buffalo Communications (“Buffalo”) to provide publicity, media-relations and marketing-branding services for its 850-acre master-planned community convenient to the Virginia-North Carolina border.
Buffalo will create and execute a fully-integrated external-communications program to position Olde Mill in print, broadcast, Internet and social media. Featuring stunning views and a 54-acre lake, Olde Mill boasts primary and second-home mountain living offering golf, recreation, social events, and cultural activities.
The extensive property enhancements include the addition of luxury yet affordable condos, manors and single-family, custom cottages and estate homes starting at $200,000, as well as the re-establishment of Maples Restaurant at Olde Mill and the Tavern at Olde Mill. The golf course, rated 4.5 stars by Golf Digest, features reconstructed tee boxes and sand traps, as well as installation of a new wall-to-wall irrigation system.
Nestled in the serene Blue Ridge Mountains, the expansive community is an awe-inspiring backdrop for golf, dining, leisure activities and relaxing at home with family and friends.
The Olde Mill golf course was designed by the legendary Ellis Maples – in the tradition of iconic golf-course architect Donald Ross – and renovated by third-generation, Pinehurst residents Dan and Bradley Maples. The 18-hole, par-72, 6,833-yard championship layout has four sets of tees, with water coming dramatically into play on 16 holes. Scenic elevation changes and undulating greens provide additional challenges for players, but remain a fair test for all skill levels. The signature No. 10 hole presents a daunting downhill shot to a peninsula fairway – split by water – and an uphill approach to the green.
“Olde Mill has something for everyone, and Buffalo Communications will help tell this story,” says Hagen Giles, General Manager at Olde Mill. “The addition of authentic mountain-style homes, cottages, manors, villas and value-oriented residences makes Olde Mill’s unspoiled setting ideal for people looking to enjoy life as it should be.”
“It’s not often a golf resort and residential destination like Olde Mill has the total mountain lifestyle package within financial reach of Baby Boomers, active adults and everyone in between,” says Rich Katz, Managing Director of Buffalo. “We look forward to generating tremendous brand presence, and exposing the community’s outstanding mountain living, golf and social experiences.”
Olde Mill’s wide variety of high-quality, custom-designed residential offerings feature a mountain-craftsman décor with panoramic views of the golf course and Blue Ridge Mountains. Condos start at $200,000, manor homes at $300,000, and single-family cottages and estate homes range from $400,000 – $900,000.
Residents and guests enjoy access to the fitness center, tennis courts, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, rafting, tubing, indoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi, and hiking and biking trails. Maples Restaurant at Olde Mill and the Tavern at Olde Mill are popular before and after golf with nearby antique shopping, historical landmarks, live music and concerts, festivals, local wineries and other interesting attractions.
